Intel Coffee Lake 6-core CPU-Z screenshot Surfaces

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 07/22/2017 08:27 AM | source: | 41 comment(s)

Leave it to Asia based websites to leak stuff, a fist CPU-Z screenshot of an Intel Coffee Lake (8th gen) six-core processor just surfaced on the web and looking at the hardware registers, it shows is indeed is based on a LGA1151 socket but also shows the fact that it'll be based on a TDP of 80W.

The screenshot obviously is based upon an engineering which would have a base clock of 3.5 GHz. Most interesting obviously is the Turbo, and since the multiplier is set at a maximum of 43, thus processor will be running at least two if its six cores at 4300 MHz when it is boosting. The unit has a 12MB L3 cache.

Earlier on Canard PC suggested this SKU would be called the Core i7-8700K, but would be based on a 3.7 GHz base frequency, with the i5-8600 at a base clock of 3.6 GHz. So this processor seems to be a different one.

Being sleepy and writing articles can be a deadly combination

Looks great, took Intel 6 years and a bit of persuasion from the competition to finally give us 6 cores. Now, let's embrace the over priced parts! :puke2:

No, took intel 3 months and a lot of persuasion from competition.
If intel felt the pressure, such CPUs would be here 3~4 years ago on when technology allowed it.

This. Ive recently built a workstation with Ryzen 1800x for work, and it works fantastically, for such a price.

I want to wait for Ryzen 1700 Pro, see if they are any different from standard in terms of OC/ Price potential, and build a home PC with ryzen 1700.

Unless Intel changes their policy, AMD is the way to go.

Nice. The AMD path has its advantages though. Like longer socket support and lower overall prices for both the CPUs and their motherboards. Interesting to see the performance of the new i5 and i7 against Ryzen 1600 and 1700. Interesting year.

"...thus processor will be running at least two if its six cores at 4300 MHz when it is boosting."

I wouldn't be so sure about this as the 7700K only boosts a single core up to 4500 MHz.

Unless set to do otherwise in the BIOS. My i7 7700k runs at 4.5GHz on all four cores at all times. Yes technically an "overclock" but its actually MSI's "Enhanced Turbo Boost" feature. No other adjustments like with regular OC'ing are required, just set it to Enabled, easy peasy.

What I'm finding strange is that Intel would have two products so close in spec/performance (i7 8700k vs i7 7800K) released so close together. Seems strange and counterintuitive to a solid business model. One will cannibalized sales of the other. I realize the difference in the chipset but still those boards for X99 are pricey. I have a feeling that the i7 8700k may appeal to more people than they think and the 7800k not so much

Now I wonder how hilbert and others knew coffee lake would have 6 cores if intel needed 3 months...

meh, 7820X has crappy mesh with lower overall gaming perf, and this 6 core is not enough to make me move..

2019 can't come soon enough with IceLake x86 refresh and Zen2+.

Hope my 2600k can hold out.
