Core i3 8130U (Kaby Lake-R) won't get four cores but does get a turbo
Notebooks and laptops with a Kaby Lake-R generation Core i3/i5 CPU are available. The new budget Core i3 Kaby Lake-R sticks towards two cores, however, there is something new going on, this proc receives a wide Turbo range.
LaptopMedia claims that the Intel Core i3 8130U will be a two core part with HyperThreading (thus four threads). However, Intel would make use of a turbo that can run up towards 3.4 GHz. Which is a first for this laptop series Core i3 procs. The base frequency would be 2.2 GHz with that Turbo boost towards 3.4 GHz. 4MB cache present and the iGPU used is a UHD Graphics 620 with clock clocks at 300 to 1000 MHz. The TDP of the Core i3 8130U is mentioned to be 10 to 15 watt but can be defined by the laptop manufacturer.
| Intel Core i3-8130U | Intel Core i3-7130U | |
| Cores | 2 | 2 |
| Threads | 4 | 4 |
| Base clock | 2.2 GHz | 2.7 GHz |
| Turbo | 3.4 GHz | – |
| LL cache | 4MB | 3MB |
| iGPU | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | Intel HD Graphics 620 |
| GPU frequency | 300-1000 MHz | 300-1000 MHz |
| TDP | 10-15W | 7.5-15W |

Nice W... too bad it's not 4 real core when Atom have 4 core, but Atom seem more expensive and more for server.

This seems to be more about power than anything, guess it would depend if someone wants a higher clocked dual core or a lower clocked quad core.
Atom tend to be lower clock speeds too dont they?

Unacceptable. Laptop, mobile telephone or whatever, dual core is simply the thing of the past. Greedy bastards want to shrink what they sell to you, and even at a higher price. Intel seems to be touching the bottom of the gutter, in terms of decency/fair play towards their customers. But what really makes me sad is the response of the people - interesting how people will readily swallow just about anything and everything they're served with. Resignation of the "OK, could have been even worse than this, at least they let us breathe, for the time being" type.
