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).

Look what Ryzen do to market.
6 months after premiere of Ryzen, i7 (Haswell, SL, KL) will be at i3 performance level. It is 2 tier reduction in single CPU generation
