3.7ghz vs 3.2 ghz??

[vfdolozo]

So I went to Best Buy the other day and I saw two different Intel i7 8700ks. One was 3.7ghz for 400 and one 3.2 ghz for 300. Now I now one is faster than the other one, couldn’t you just over clock the 3.2ghz? I don’t understand aside from that any differences between the two aside from the 100 dollars.

If I had to guess you saw an 8700 and an 8700k. The "k" means it comes with higher clock speeds out of the box, as well as the ability to OC.
