Intel Core i7-8086K anniversary edition CPU gets listed at retailers (updated)
And yes, it surfaces again. Remember that nostalgic sounding 8086 processor rumor we reported a while ago? Intel could be planning a special processor to be released with the 40th anniversary of the 8086 processor. Well, it is starting to list in stores as we speak.
Earlier on a Chinese forum released information and screenshots on it. The Core i7 8086K would be a respin of the existing Coffee Lake S and would get a base clock of 4.0GHz, however, it would get a boost to 5.0GHz.
I immediately need to make a side-note here. Everything about Intel's Turbos is vague as they do not release info about it anymore, we I can only assume that 5.0 GHz is a single thread and core boost and something 4.4 for the all-core boost. Currently, it also is not yet known if this is a four or six core part. For Intel we better hope it's the six-core one as it will cost ~475 EUR, which is roughly 70 bucks over the Core i7-8700K (six-core), and hey now ... including free Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. It is listed under SKU code BX80684I78086K. June 5th Intel will be hosting a keynote and I expect the highly binned proc to be presented there. The 8086K we expect to be the same six cores part with the same TDP of 95W. This remains to be a speculation though as that depends on the all-core turbo clock frequency. It would not be the first-anniversary processor Intel releases, remember the Pentium 20th Anniversary G3258 Processor?
8086 ... gotta find me an MS-DOS floppy disk :-)
Update: I just realized that on June 8, it has been precisely forty years ago that the 8086 is launched. Presumably, we also see the i7-8086K on 8 June. Also, I added some screenshots, it's a 6-core part.

It is indeed a niche item, released for those with a collectors heart, and those of us that are old enough to know the meaning behind the name without Googling it.
Interesting, and kind of cool.

I can see it making "sense"(strictly price wise) if it was all-core 5GHz with possibly, a 5.2-5.3GHz single core boost...?
But even then, mostly enthusiasts plus a few others, would buy it at that price, like many who buy from Silicon Lottery or Caseking or other venues selling pre-binned cpu's.
I paid €420 for the 8700K at launch 6 months ago and got lucky with a "good" chip(5GHz@1.25v or lower), so I'm interested to see how this one will fare against it.

so then the question is raised, what exactly do you need administrator exploits for on an average user's computer, surely by the point a person has full administrator access , they have everything they could already want.
Ha, like admin access is a problem. You can easily inject this into programs and get people the run them. Most PC users are installing all kinds of crap and use local administrator by default.

This is really only a Windows problem. No other OS allows you to so easily run admin/root tasks so easily.
What makes these vulnerabilities so unique and threatening is the fact they can't be detected. Like las said, if they're injected into an inconspicuous binary, you wouldn't notice the effects of them.
However, I do overall agree with your point - if you already have admin/root access, why spend the time and effort figuring out how to exploit this vulnerability when you could so easily do much more damage via other means? The lack of detection might buy you more time, but nowadays everything computer related is fast enough where it's not hard to quickly get what you need. I find pretty much all of the security vulnerabilities (from any brand) that requires local admin/root access to be a non-issue.

It's not the worst bug, when it's by far the easiest to patch.
Ryzen chips still has RYZENFALL, FALLOUT and CHIMERA.
We won't see proper fixes (without performance loss - as in new chips) before 2019+
"ryzenfall fallout and chimera"
those require admin access to the machine, which by that point does it even matter?
the software that presents the largest risk to spectre and meltdown for most people is the web browser, meltdown requires os level patches to mitigate, spectre only required a patch to the browser's timers, by making the timers available inaccurate , makes spectre basically impossible to use.
I dont really care if intel or amd is "superior", but the fact of the matter is that atm intel has more issues with their chips, no amount of spinning is gonna change that.
as far as the 8086k goes, definitely a novelty item, though i do wonder if it actually is binned higher than the 8700k. since the clocks arent particularly impressive.
