Intel Coffee Lake i3 8350K & 8100 specs leak

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/08/2017 05:18 PM | source: | 15 comment(s)

Last week we already posted some screenshots of a new Coffee lake Core i3 series core processor showing four cores. See, AMD is stirring up the market on every segment with a processor. The recent Ryzen 3 series for example are all quad-core processors. Historically Intel always outed a 2-core model. Until now.

It was indicated that the Core i3-8300 series was spotted on Chinese forums, see link above. The interesting thing here is that that entry was a quad-core with hyper threading in a 4c/8t configuration. A direct response to AMDs Ryzen 3 alright. Some new info was posted in the Anandtech forums with a screenshot embedded by ptt.cc, two models including specs are now being listed.

Core i3 8100 - quad core / four threads at 3.6 GHz (65W TDP)
Core i3 8350K - quad core / four threads at 4 GHz (91W TDP)

As you can see the procs do not get any boost allowance, hence these are either 3.6 or thus running 4.0 GHz as a base clock. There are a number of things interesting, first off, the Core i3 8350K will get a 91 Watt TDP. And yes, it is a K model hence it'll be unlocked.

Secondly, if you browse down in the screenshot, these procs will not get hyper-threading. It is interesting though, Intel opening up quad cores in the Core i3 range starting at Coffee lake. That is a substantial increase in TDP though. Thanks SH SOTN for the news submit.

HT would've been nice, but for gaming its often not that beneficial, and obviously a real quad core in the i3 range is rather nice for budget setups.

Actual street prices will be interesting.

I had a feeling they wouldn't risk cannibalizing their i5 line.

These are current i5's just going a step down.
The fanboys will have to change their argument now to: "you just need an i3 for gaming"
We already know Intel is making i5 with 6 cores so I hope i7 with 8 cores?
EDIT: Nah, they'll just sell the i5 with HT enabled as an i7.

That's has been known for a while and coffee lake has been rumored to be 6 cores since end of last year when KBL was released.

Honestly an i3 now is not a bad CPU for gaming. In fact a KBL i3 is actually as good or better in some cases than your 2500k.

Hell a current i5 destoys my 2600k expecially when it is clocked close to 5Ghz.

8300 is 4/8, but 8350K is 4-core without HT?

So new mainstream processors from Intel will look like that:

i3 4/4
i5 6/6
i7 6/12

There is also room for
Pentium 2/4
Celeron 2/2

That was just a rumour I assume the 8300 will also just be a 4 core without HT as well, least that's what I would assume anyway.

I'm glad to see this change, I wish it happened years ago like it really should have. But least it's happening, I wouldn't be surprised if next generation or the one after becomes like:

I3- 4/8
I5- 6/12
I7- 8/16

Especially after zen2 comes out... competition is good

The problem is the price. You can have R5 for the price of an i5 and it's a better buy. Sure you might lose a couple top fps but on average you gain a hell of a work horse.

8300 is 4/8, but 8350K is 4-core without HT?

All i3 have HT disabled, those were rumours.

Intel should skip the no HT and locked processors BS.
I'm going Ryzen for my next build for sure.

Intel won't get a penny from me, at least for the nearest future.

AMD tired to Innovate, while Intel uses its bribery / anti technology / anti consumer / anti progress methods.

Recently made ryzen 1800x build for our office workstation, works fantastically for its value.

Planning to make my next home pc build with ryzen 1700, x370 taichi, and 16gb 3200mhz ram. Hopefully it will allow me to reach 4.0ghz.

It seems to actually be rather beneficial if you want a smooth experience. 7600K loses significantly to 7700K in that area frametimes are a mess.

Whats up with the naming 8350k? Sounds too much like 8350 lol. I am so not up to speed on current pc events lol.

6 real cores will likely out perform 4c/8t HT enabled CPU.

No doubt there. It kind of should.

Those weren't rumors. Those were screenshots. Unless they were fake.

In modern games, the i7 7700k at stock speed outperforms the i5 7600k at 4.8ghz. Even the i7 3770k (2012 CPU) at 4.5 ghz gives the i5 7600k 4.8 ghz a run for its money.
