9th Generation Intel Processors Will Get Octa Core i7

In what is a pretty difficult to translate article, Asia based HKEPC claims to have spoken with motherboard manufacturers, and discovered that Intel's upcoming 9th generation processors will again see a Ryze (pun) in processor cores.

With current Coffee lake Intel already stepped things up towards with up-to 6 cores on the 8000 series, for the 9000 series this would become up-to 8-cores. According to the rumor, all series i3/ i5 and i7 will get hyper-threading as well (for selected SKUs).

This kind of confirms what we have been hearing for a while now, that Z390 chipset that was rumored for a release late this year? Well, if the info came from motherboard partners, as HKEPC states, then these motherboard partners are apparently already hard at work on Z390. We know for a fact that Z390 will support, what is supposed to be a derivate from coffee lake, 8-core processors and that would be cannon lake.

Looks like 2018 is going to be a awesome year for upgrading. Nvidia and AMD will be bringing some new stuff to the table and on Nvida side I'm sure it will be very high performance given the fact that pascal is already awesome in itself. AMD an Intel will have a brutal fight over who has the most cores and the cheapest. AMD is going to bring a very nice refined Rizen cpu and Intel will bring more cores at i7 "4core" price points. Can't wait to see how this all go down.

AMD will just slap 2-4 more cores on the high-end CPUs thanks to infinity fabric. Intel has nothing on AMD in 2018

I think Intel fans and buyers are soooo happy to get yet another chipset

The Cannon Lake generation will end up as U- and Y series chips for laptops. In the second half of 2018 you'd then see desktop processors based on ... 10nm Ice Lake.

It means no Cannon Lake CPUs will ever be available. As for Icelake - it can't be supported by the same motherboards that support Coffee Lake, because a) they're based on different architectures, b) LGA1151 barely handles overclocking i7-8700K, how is it supposed to handle overclocking octa-cores?..
I guess Eurocom doesn't know shit or just was mistaken and Z390 will not support any newer generations.
