In addition, AMD is finally competitive again with Zen. Part of the reason we are finally getting them is that software is ready for it. We’ve been waiting for a long time for Intel to release mainstream six core processors. Perhaps Intel is tweaking the L2 cache away from the usual 256KB in an effort to boost efficiency.

The sources interestingly blurred out the L2 cache. Cache size is the standard ratio with 12MB of 元 cache. Doubtless, we will have new chipsets on the LGA 1151 platform. The BCLK is set at 100 MHz with a TDP of 80W. The engineering sample has 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 3.5 GHz and a boost clock of 4.3 GHz. Who knows what other tricks Intel has up their sleeves.įrom the CPU-Z screenshot, the chip is probably the Core i7 8700K based on the specifications. The mainstream core count goes from 4 cores 8 threads to 6 cores and 12 threads. Part of this performance increase is likely due to an increased core count. However, Intel has optimised their design even more, claiming a 30% performance increase from the same power draw. Intel has not revealed any specifications yet but we now have a CPU-Z screenshot.Ĭoffee Lake uses the same 14nm process as Kaby Lake and uses the architecture from Skylake. The rumoured Core i7 8700K six core processor leads the charge. After sticking to a tried and true formula, Intel is changing things up with 6 core mainstream processors. Coming hot on the heels of Kaby Lake, the new lineup may be the biggest update in recent memory. In just a few short months, Intel will launch their new Coffee Lake lineup.
