前言：
Z370效能測試今日解禁，ASUS第一波送測的有 ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X APEX及 HERO及 STRIX Z370-E GAMING 三版，本篇測試為 ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X APEXMAXIMUS APEX，APEX為 ATX超頻專用版，尤其是超頻記憶體頻率，是目前唯一能穩上 DDR4 4600的主機板，要滿足 DDR4 4600除了需 APEX及 G.SKILL 記憶體之外還得要處理器的 IMC夠強才行，依滄者的經驗能跑 DDR4 4600的處理器可能 50顆中才會有 1 顆
今年 Intel 為了因應對手 AMD一波波的 Ryzen 攻勢，不得不倉促推出 Coffee Lake 應戰，企圖以多核心營造出（將 6C12T跟 4C8T相比）效能大躍進的表相，但其實跟第 7代處理器相比，在同頻率的單核效能上並未見到有驚人的長進，而因為 Z370只是為 CFL而生的應時應運的產品，在 Z390將在明年上市的情況下其生命周期能有多長值得懷疑，另外 CFL處理器在價格上也比對手 Ryzen 5高了許多，無論 CFL超得再高性價比是狂敗給 Ryzen的，而近來更有傳聞，某些 AMD Ryzen 5 1600X或 1600其實是 8C16T的 Ryzen 7 1800X 1800等變身的
消息來源請點我前往，消費者可以檢查看看買到的 AMD Ryzen 5 1600X是否為Ryzen 7 1800X，如果買到的是 Ryzen 7 1800X也算是額外的 BONUS
10月 5日首發的處理器有 i7-8700K、i7-8700、i5-8600K、i5-8400、i3-8350K、i3-8100 六款處理器，其餘的 65W、35W（型號未公布）將會在明年第一季同 B360、H370、H310 晶片組發布，另外第 8代的 vPro 商用處理器以及晶片組 Q370、Q360 將會在明年第二季推出
Core i7-8600K 定價為 $257美元，跟 Ryzen 5 1600相比只貴$38美元，但是別忘了想要使用 8600K還得付出 Z370的花費喔
接著進行 ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X APEX主機版的介紹
ASUS Z370的產品線有 ASUS ROG、ROG STRIX、TUF、PRIME等規格
依使用者擁途可細分為 MAXIMUS系列、TUF GAMING系列、ROG STRIX系列以及 PRIME系列
MAXIMUS 中 EXTREME為最高端的產品，專為性能與超頻所打造，為 EATX版
FORMULA定位次於 EXTREME ，專為模組化個人風格建造者配方，為ATX版
MAXIMUS APEX則定位為 ATX超頻專用版，尤其是超頻記憶體頻率，APEX是目前唯一能穩上 DDR4 4600的主機板，要滿足 DDR4 4600除了需 APEX及 G.SKILL 記憶體之外還得要處理器的 IMC夠強才行，依滄者的經驗能跑 DDR4 4600的處理器可能 50顆中才會有 1 顆
MAXIMUS CODE則為個性玩家專用 ATX版
MAXIMUS HERO則定位在入門超頻的 ATX板
GENE 則 LAN & SFF優化的 M-ATX版
IMPACT裝進小機殼的小鋼炮，ITX版
STRIX則有
ATX-(E、F、H)
M-ATX(G)
ITX(I)
從定位順序上來說 ROG 優於 TUF 優於 ROG STRIX 優於 PRIME

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X APEX介紹
LGA1151插槽，專用於第 8代 Intel Core 處理器
ROG代表了 ASUS主板的工程設計巔峰之作，十多年來這個部門一直在推動極致超頻，以滿足要求最好的全世界一流玩家。ROG既是新功能的滋生之地，也是測試絕對性能極限的舞台
APEX專為超頻而生，功能介紹
APEX 提供 Dual ATX 8pin 供電以應付 CPU在 LN2極冷超頻下的高電流所需流量
MAXIMUS X APEX更為 I / O散熱器設計了一個特殊的風扇支架，在 LN2超頻時可以將蒸發的水氣從 CPU銅柱中抽離，MAXIMUS X APEX也為此特別添加了高轉速風扇接口，以及液體冷卻和傳統系統風扇所需的所有功能，在記憶體超頻上，MAXIMUS X APEX的記憶體插槽只設計 2DIMM，使 MAXIMUS X APEX能達到更高的記憶體頻率，這也是為何 MAXIMUS X APEX能超頻至 DDR4 4600的原因所在
記憶體插槽下方則設計為 DIMM.2 ，它可以接受雙 M.2 SSD，並包含風扇安裝

小結：消費者的眼睛是雪亮的，Intel 強項在超頻但價格不斐，在看了上圖 Core i7-8700K Core i5-8600K VS Ryzen 5 1600 之性價比之後，如果買處理器的初衷只是為了多工運算以及不在意超頻的話， 似乎 Ryzen 5 更平易近人，至於該怎麼選擇青菜蘿蔔各有所好，相信消費者心中已有定數，況且因為購買 CFL還要掏錢再買一片專用主機版的情況下，有多少消費者願意買單實耐人尋味 (也許一年後回頭來看銷售狀況就很清楚)，對於喜愛超頻的玩家來說， APEX則真是一片好板子，醉心於超頻魅力的玩家們買 APEX絕對不會失望，況且 ASUS主機版廠秉持以往著專業、創新、求進步的精神去研發設計 APEX超頻專用版，ASUS MAXIMUS X APEX確實是一個很好的選擇

Core i7-8700K@5GHz VS Ryzen 5 1600@4GHz在 Cinebench R15 之性價比
小結：消費者的眼睛是雪亮的，Intel 強項在超頻但價格不斐，在看了上圖 Core i7-8700K Core i5-8600K VS Ryzen 5 1600 之性價比之後，如果買處理器的初衷只是為了多工運算以及不在意超頻的話， 似乎 Ryzen 5 更平易近人，至於該怎麼選擇青菜蘿蔔各有所好，相信消費者心中已有定數，況且因為購買 CFL還要掏錢再買一片專用主機版的情況下，有多少消費者願意買單實耐人尋味 (也許一年後回頭來看銷售狀況就很清楚)，對於喜愛超頻的玩家來說， APEX則真是一片好板子，醉心於超頻魅力的玩家們買 APEX絕對不會失望，況且 ASUS主機版廠秉持以往著專業、創新、求進步的精神去研發設計 APEX超頻專用版，ASUS MAXIMUS X APEX確實是一個很好的選擇
