So you just picked up that six-core Core i7 8086K? Well, Intel will release their 8-core mainstream part in the Fall, the processor will be based on Coffee Lake, meaning a new SKU with two more cores. The LGA 2066 platform will also get an update towards a 22-core processor.

The news reaches us through the otherwise well-informed PC Watch, The Coffee Lake Refresh with the 8-core part would be available in the market by September. The processor is released by Intel to close the gap towards the competitor's Ryzen refresh.

There is other news, the Basin Falls platform will also receive a refresh. Intel's LGA-2066 platform for Skylake-X and Xeon W would see another SKU with four more cores, moving from 18 cores towards processor with up to 22 cores. Cascade Lake would be been postponed towards 2019.

I think it's pretty exciting that AMD stimulated this kind of competition in the CPU market. Both companies are releasing better products less than every year now. Better for the consumer all the way around.

Interesting. Is there any worthy read? Wiki page is pretty empty.

I saw some leaks once at tweaktown? Basically saying it will move from this old x86 seen since Sandy bridge (coffee lake and cannon lake is still old arch), to something completely new, also with new instructions, ditching old and what not.

Overall I got the impression it would be a real game changer.

I'd think they would have other things to worry about. In consumer markets they're holding their own, but they're about to get crushed in HEDT and servers.
