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.

This 8 core processor will be based on same architecture and 14nm technology, combined with toothpaste will result in a very hot processor which can boost 1 core to 4.7 (or whatever they will set for it).
Don't forget the extortion prices they will most likely ask for it, and potentially once again they will make it incompatible with the current socket.
Any chance they won't use the toothpaste?

Doubt that, so far they have used it on all consumer parts. Pathetic. But you never know if they may decide to change this.

For me, it's not just core-count that matters. I need thunderbolt 3 to be more widely adopted, so, not only could I then make use of more cores, but, also the latest low-latency audio interfaces. It's been over a year since Intel made thunderbolt 3 royalty free, but, I don't see much adoption on AMD/motherboard manufacturers side, despite their new processors being very attractive.
For musicians and studios with an eye to the future, Intel is still the only choice. That needs to change.

TB3 would be very good for all notebooks and external GPUs. AMD boards quite often use intel's WiFi. So it is not like AMD side does not use intel's HW. It is more like manufacturers in general do not see need for it.
It took many years for boards to feature USB-C.
