Intel Coffee Lake event photo confirms leaked specs
There have been a number of leaks on Coffee Lake already, most of them true. Intel Coffee Lake event photo confirms leaked specs of Intels upcoming 8th Generation Core processors, including four 6-core models, two with hyper-threading.
The photo originates from chiphell, one of the attendees of an Intel event leaked a photo. That photo however is very blurry photo, but does reveal the entire lineup and confirmes the core configurations. Coffee Lake (8th gen) six-core processors are based on the LGA1151 socket, but will require a new motherboard chipset. They have a TDP of either 65 or 95W. Currently the release lineup looks like this:
| Processor | Cores / Threads | Clock speed | Turbo 2.0 | 1-core Turbo 3.0 | L3 | TDP |
| Core i7-8700K | 6/12 | 3.8 GHz | 4.3 GHz | 4.5 or 4.7 GHz | 12MB | 95W |
| Core i7-8700 | 6/12 | 3.2 GHz | 4.2 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 12MB | 65W |
| Core i5-8600K | 6/6 | 3.8 GHz | 4.2 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 9MB | 95W |
| Core i5-8400 | 6/6 | 2.8 GHz | 3.5 GHz | 3.8 GHz | 9MB | 65W |
| Core i3-8350 | 4/4 | 4.0 GHz | na | na | 8MB | 95W |
| Core i3-8100 | 4/4 | 3.6 GHz | na | na | 6MB | 65W |
As you can see there will be be two 6 cores models with HT (12MB L3), an two without HT (9MB L3). The four core models (8MB L3) will not get hyper-threading, which confirms earlier rumors. Unfortunately I cannot precisely readout the clocks as the image quality is too fuzzy, so that remains to be a bit of speculation but these frequencies as listed should be pretty close.
Thanks SH SOTN for the news spot/submit.

12-core Intel Core i9 7920X will get a 400 MHz slower base-clock - 07/19/2017 03:35 PM
And I do need to add more text to that title line, as that is the base-clock compared to the 10-core Core i9 7900X. In late August you should be able to pickup the 12 core Core i9 7920X. And that mak...

The non-K SKU's look to be 65W not 95W but can't confirm. That picture was taken with a potato.

Looking at the Kaby Lake clocks in the photo, the clocks are listed in this order:
Base clock / Max turbo (1-core turbo) / All cores turbo
7700K - 4.2 /4.5 / 4.4
7700 - 3.6 / 4.2 / 4
So the turbo clocks in the article's chart for Coffee Lake are incorrect.
Let's see (base/max turbo/all core turbo):
8700K - 3.8 / 4.? /4.3 (95W)
8700 - 3.2 / 4.4 / 4.2 (65W)
8600K - 3.8 / 4.4 / 4.2 (95W)
8400 - 2.8 / 3.8 / 3.5 (65W)
8350K - 4.0 (95W)
8100 - 3.6 (65W)
I just can't make out what's the max turbo for the 8700K, maybe 4.5?

I think it was already mentioned somewhere it's 4.7 for single core. All core turbos are then 4.3, 4.2, 4.2 an 3.5 it seems?

Possibly, either 4.5 or 4.7 could fit there, but it's hard to tell with how blurry it is.
And yeah, looks like those are the all core turbos, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.

Yeah actually I had just corrected that table, matching your assesment as well. I just pulled some ninja like photoshop tricks, I think I can read 4.7 Turbo 3.0 for 8700K Btw.

Alright. ^^
Hmm, one interesting thing to note, the photo has incorrect TDP values for the Kaby Lake i3 CPUs, they're being listed as 95W and 65W parts despite actually being 60W and 51W parts.
Same for the 7600K and 7700K, they're 91W parts and not 95W.

I don't know Chinese but the horizontal lines look to me like performance comparison to kaby lake in single- and multi-thread.

Will be interesting to see what they compare and to what on that % and where. For sure multi-thread is easily better.
But single the clock difference is 4.5% so there could be 6.5% improvement in IPC in some cases maybe possibly.

I'm going to order a whole new comp in the next couple of weeks, it's mostly for gaming. I was considering a Ryzen 1600X but that i5-8600K might be the better choice... Hope they'll price it competitively.

In this day and age what's the point of a 6C/6T CPU ?
How is it going to compete against say i7 7700K 4C/8T ?

If we are to believe the claimed percentage increases then the 6c/6t i5 will be faster in multi-threaded apps than the 7700K in fact it will be very close to the R5 1600/x while decimating both the 7700k and 1600x in single thread. Of course this needs a grain of salt.
The 8700k according to this will match the 1700x in multi-threaded as well.

The 8700K on paper looks like it will be the new gaming machine CPU to replace the 7700K's spot. I don't wee anything not to like with the 8700K.

To my understanding, the performance increase is compared to the i5 7600K. It has 50% more cores and the turbo is about 5% higher. I'm assuming the "19%/55%" represents "single/multi". In terms of multi-threading, the IPC of the 8600K is going to be roughly 0% over the 7600K. For single-threaded, I'm not sure - 19% sounds way too high for an architectural refresh.
So yeah, when you account for Hz, I'm sure the 8700K is going to be competitive. But, if AMD can figure out how to get beyond 4GHz without LN, I don't think Coffee Lake is going to be a resounding win. That's a real big "if" though.

Price may be something to concern about.

HT doesn't add 100% extra performance, optimistically its maybe 30% at best (and often less). The cores are busy already, HT just uses performance that would otherwise be unused, but there isn't twice the hardware or anything like that.
2 cores more is a 50% increase.
So a 6/6 should be faster in MT workloads then an 4/8. Of course a 6/12 would be even better.
