Intel 6-core Coffee Lake Surfaces in GeekBench (again)
An Intel upcoming 6-core Coffee Lake generation processor has surfaces in GeekBench (again). This CPU scored 4,619 points on a single thread and 20,828 on multi-threading. A comparable slightly clocked Ryzen 5 1600X (also 6-cores) scores 4,574 in single-core performance and 20,769 for the multi-core.
The coffee lake 14nm proc is a 6-core processor with 12 threads clocked at 3.19GHz. It has 1.5MB of L2 cache and 12MB of L3 cache. The proc should be running at a base-clock of 3.2 GHz however there is no metric of the Turbo clock-speed. It however is expect it to be 4.2GHz. Coffee Lake would be released together with the Z370 / H370 chipsets and logic assumes a release later this year in the Q3 region. Intel 300 series desktop processor motherboard would be based on the current LGA 1151 socket.
Coffee Lake is based on a 14nm fabrication node and would see a release in August or September with desktop version in a 4-core and 6-core model. It is rumored to be 15% faster compared to Kaby Lake. These would be tied towards the H370 and Z370 chipsets, and you guess it .. it will have a new socket. Obviously Intel will release K models (unlocked) in the Coffee Lake generation. In Q1 2018 Coffee Lake-S would see the light of day, these are dual-core parts.

is that 12mb of L3 cache i see? is intel finally moving on from their 6mb limit!
Small upgrade in IPC again by looks of things, though maybe we will finally get a 6 core mainstream :s wonder if they will still use cheap TIM instead of soldering just to save a few extra cents
Considering they used TIM on LGA2066 dont count on solder here either.

Off Topic: That means something else in other circles of the interwebz

On topic: I'm planning on upgrading in two months or so...hopefully coffee lake will be out so that I can do a price/performance comparison between this and R5 1600

?
I notice that one info is constantly being bypassed: is it (finally) confirmed that these new Intel CPUs - kaby, coffee, skylakeX etc. (or, rather, the related chipsets or/and motherboards) - are NOT supporting Win7. Do they or do they not?
