If not, then where can I buy an i7 8th generation for a laptop?** A: No, this CPU cannot be installed in a laptop, only a desktop computer with an Intel Z370 chipset motherboard with the LGA 1151 socket. You cannot upgrade the CPU in your laptop without changing it's motherboard also. So, not only would you have to get a mobile 8th gen Intel CPU (which isn't available for consumers or commercially at all yet) but you'd also have to get a custom-made motherboard to match the current layout of your laptop (which, again, likely hasn't been made). Even if you could get the CPU and the motherboard for your laptop, this might require re-soldering things the manufacturer soldered down, taking apart the screen and keyboard, stripping it of all the laptop's internals- laptops just aren't made for upgrading and ones that are- you can only usually upgrade the RAM, hard drive, WiFi card and battery but not the CPU, motherboard or GPU. **Q: I7 8700k coming whit cooling system?** A: No heatsink or fan included with this CPU ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i7-8700K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.7GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black CPU Air Cooler, SickleFlow 120 Edge PWM Fan, Aluminum Top Cover, 4 Copper Heat Pipes, 152mm Tall, AMD Ryzen AM5/AM4, Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200 Brackets --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - ๐Ÿ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** โ€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - ๐ŸŒ **Shop Globally** โ€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **No Hidden Fees** โ€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - ๐Ÿ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** โ€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - ๐Ÿ”’ **Secure Payments** โ€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - โญ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** โ€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/50085730-intel-bx80684i78700k-8th-gen-core-i7-8700k-processor](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/50085730-intel-bx80684i78700k-8th-gen-core-i7-8700k-processor) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
