Intel Coffee Lake Core i7-8700K and Core i5-8600K Clock Speeds Leaked

[SHvFl]

The Intel Coffee Lake 8th generation Core processors are expected to launch around Gamescom in the month of August which is next month. The new chips will be featuring the 14nm process along with a range of enhancements. The biggest change these processors are going to feature is an increase in core count. The Core i7 and Core i5 series will be the first to utilize a full-on 6 core design instead of the 4 core quads that we have been looking at for several generations. Another leak that was posted last week reported different clock speeds but turns out that was representing early ES chips while the latest leak reports final model specs.

And as expected intel is fighting back trying to kill sales for the amd line. With the extra 4 threats on the top model giving it 50% more threats and with the higher clock speeds it should be able to be faster than even the top ryzen product(1800x) which costs $100+ more.
This is all theory but soon(Q3 2017 ~ August) with the actual release we will have a clear sign on the market.

One month something expensive won't tear up in my life and I will be able to afford a 21st century processor.

it's still 6 cores 12 threads against 8 cores 16 threads, sure the clock speeds look good but multithreaded it probably won't be much faster than 1800x. plus they're half a year late.
AMD will just decrease the price of R7 line to balance it.

It's time for every quad core chip to be cheaper than 150$ ^^

Well at least Intel is pushing towards 6-core setup, waited too long for that. Maybe it will move mainstream gaming to use more than 4 cores now. Still waiting for that Cannon Lake though.

Yup, those extra 4 threads should easily compensate for Intel's higher clock speed in multi-threaded tasks (not so much in gaming though) and will be easier to cool too.

Mmmm! Coffee Lake You'd definitely find me swimming in one if I found one!!

Intel is losing so hard. I would be sad if it wasn't so entertaining.
You can get an 8-core Ryzen 7 with 16 threads for under $300 right now. By the time Coffee Lake (lol) comes out they will be even cheaper. Unless Intel the i7's are selling for under $300, nobody will even bother.

I bet they will require a new socket putting the last nail in the coffin. Dead on arrival either way.

You could read the article. Same socket and prices the same as every time. As for who would bother i guess all the people that realise that more threats don't mean more performance in everything and they value stability and not a new bios per month for 6 months to be able to get everything they own working as it should.
