Intel 8 core Coffee Lake To be released in this fall
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.

For the sake of the consumer us I think it will be better if Amd took the lead in order to dictate prices on the cpu market. Intel is still on some of its old habbits but things are quickly changing! I had both companys and believe they can co-exist.

Cannon lake is now mobile only.
Next gen desktop will yes be Icelake, that true next gen cpu, moving away from sandy bridge core roots..
Imo icelake will be the only interesting cpu from intel.. so its either win or bust.
From what I saw so far it should be pretty good,.
I'm sure IceLake's design is solid. What seems most worrisome is Intel's state of 10nm. Even if they get decent IPC improvements from IceLake's new design, if the 10nm process has issues hitting higher frequencies it may all be a mute point. Right now AMD is using GloFlos 14nm process that was never meant for 4Ghz(It had a 3Ghz target when they initially designed it) and it holds Ryzen back a lot when compared to Intel. IBM designed the new 7nm process with 5Ghz in mind so I fully expect AMD's Zen 2 to scale up to 5Ghz at least in 8 cores or less.
I for one hope Intel stumbles a bit longer so AMD can grab a decent chunk of the market with Zen 2. The innovation we are seeing now is nothing compared to how it would look if Intel and AMD were similar sized companies taking market share back and forth.
I would also be thrilled if Intel really pushes into the dedicated GPU market in 2020 as they mentioned but with a very serious R&D budget so they are competitive with GPU performance and drivers. Having three competitors should get the GPU innovation back and prices down again.
It's a fun time to be into hardware after a long lul.

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.
Let's not get too excited just yet - i still have PTSD from the AMD bulldozer "gamechanging architecture" marketing bs. hahaha

I think this will be the world's first:
Intel 8C and up: only sold in alaska and arctic circle.
