Core i3 8300 with Four Cores and Eight Threads Spotted
We've stated a couple of times already that AMD is stirring up the market on every segment with a processor. The recent Ryzen 3 series for example are all quad-core processors, historically Intel always outted a 2-core model. Until now.
It seems Intel is prepping a Core i3-8300, as it has been spotted on Chinese forums with a screenshot, The interesting thing here is that it is a quad-core with hyper threading. this a 4:8 configuration. And that would be a direct response to AMDs Ryzen 3 alright, check the screenshots, as spotted by through the Anandtech forums at NGA.
Double the amount of cores/threads of the current Core i3 lineup if true (at least higher end models). That's Core i7-6700K level performance (if true).

I don't get it. If this is true, what exactly is the point of an i5? Unless all i5's become 6 core processors (still without hyperthreading, i'm sure)
Far as been rumoured intels line up should look like this:
i3 4/4 and/or 4/8
i5 4/8 and/or 6/6
i7 6/12
seem suicidal for intel to do such thing? a i3 with 6700k performance there will be lot people pissed over this, i would be specially if priced less.. providing it really. it would prove intel has been purpose sandbagging there performance
I dont think intel can really afford to alienate it consumers do doing such thing then again people would still buy intel stuff either way
They also just can't let AMD own the bottom market, a lot of money comes from there, with AMD doing cheap 4/6 cores intel cant still be selling a dual core for the same price.
From a marketing stand point it would make sense to do this, they want to get more sales not lose them, i3's i doubt have been making them too much in the first place, and going forward who is going to buy a dual core when you can get a quad core from AMD

This train of thought is flawed. You are advocating they continue what they have been doing the last 5 years with this statement.

The difference is in the past 5 years, Intel didn't have much of an incentive to improve. Now, they have to.

I thought of this too, but I think a 4c/4t is perfectly reasonable for an i3. A product like that is plenty competitive with a Ryzen 3, when you consider the OC potential. Also if the 8300 is a quad core and comes out before AM4 APUs, that will be a hefty win for Intel.
In another perspective, it could make more sense for the i3 to have been 6c/6t while the i5 would be 4c/8t.
6c > 4c/8t
because 4c with HT gives you +50% at best with well multithreaded apps (compared to 4c);
while 6C under same workloads gives you flat +50%
I don't get it. If this is true, what exactly is the point of an i5? Unless all i5's become 6 core processors (still without hyperthreading, i'm sure)
All i5 that we know so far are 6C (with or without HT)
