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.

So its a binned 8700K, good for 5Ghz single core, re branded and put up for sale at a premium price for the gullible e-peen saps, willing to pay extra for bragging rights on tech forums to complete strangers...

Just don't copy it...
And hey there's the 5.0Ghz single core CPU we needed in 2005 or so.
Will be interesting to read more about it such as what the actual frequencies are when it's not boosting to well however this works in newer Intel CPU's, guessing 4.x somewhere then and maybe some tweaks.
(Probably going to run quite hot as a result, wonder if it's a quad core as I assume it's not a hexa or octa core but eh no info available for now on what this is going to end up with specs wise.)
EDIT: Oh so it's actually expected to be a hexa core then. Interesting.
So a base clock of possibly 4.0Ghz and then boost up to somewhere around 4.4Ghz perhaps and finally 5.0Ghz but likely only on a single core.
Well if it's starting to get listed in various stores and if Intel is doing a presentation of it in a week it won't be too long until more info is available.
