Intel tries to flog its old CPUs with new game bundles

Posted on Monday, October 16 2017 @ 14:49 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Intel rolled out it new Coffee Lake-S platform earlier this month but the reality is this launch was more like a paper launch as the chip giant had very little volume to offer.

To help the retail channel get rid of the older Core i7 6700K and Core i7 7700K inventory, Intel launches a game bundle for these two processors.

Consumers who buy the 6700K or 7700K at a participating retailer get a free download code for Total War: Warhammer II as well as the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Origins.

Overclock3D reports the bundle covers both complete systems and individual processors. Unfortunately, the new Coffee Lake processors are not covered by the deal.
