Intel recently concluded an event intended for local distributors in China, a key presentation slide of which was snapped and posted online. The slide confirms the company's product-stack for the mainstream desktop platform, and its augmentation with the first wave of 8th generation Core "Coffee Lake" SKUs. The slide also confirms that Intel will be replacing current Core i7 4-core/8-thread SKUs with Core i7 6-core/12-thread ones; Core i5 4-core/4-thread SKUs with 6-core/6-thread ones, and Core i3 2-core/4-thread SKUs with 4-core/4-thread ones, marking the biggest fundamental update to the product stack since the Core MSDT family started out a decade ago, with the Core "Lynnfield" and "Clarkdale" processors.
The slide further describes per-core performance increases ranging between 11-29 percent owing to higher clock-speeds and a slightly newer micro-architecture, and 51-65 percent increases in multi-threaded performance owing to the increasing core-counts across the board. While these SKUs are expected to logically replace the various Core "Kaby Lake" SKUs from their current price-points, there could be a tiny price increase, across the board, which Intel could justify using the higher core-counts.
The 8th generation Core lineup will be led by the Core i7-8700K, featuring 6 cores, 12 threads enabled with HyperThreading, 12 MB of shared L3 cache, and an unlocked multiplier. PC enthusiasts should also look out for the Core i5-8600K, which is a 6-core/6-thread part with 9 MB of L3 cache, and an unlocked multiplier. There will be a third overclocker-friendly SKU, the 4-core/4-thread Core i3-8350K, which could be launched either towards the end of 2017, or early-2018.
