Intel Z390 motherboard spotted in SiSoft Database

We already talked a little about the fact that Intel would/might be releasing another chipset called Z390 later this year. That is next to Coffee lake 6-core processors on what is to be the Z370 platform. A Z390 motherboard now has surfaced in the SiSoft Sandra database.

Intel has an 8-core 14nm Coffee Lake processor in the works. The information surfaced from an XTU errata log is showing change-log entry that reads out as "[CFL] Added support for 8,2 core,", see below. CFL obviously is short for Coffee Lake.

It would be an interesting move from Intel, as typically they design one desktop processor and base all models off from that one proc. To create an additional processor holding 8-cores is very unusual. If correct, this would be an 8-core/16-threaded part in the mainstream segment, and that would mean serious competition for AMD Ryzen 7.

The new info is derived from videocardz, who spotted the unit in the Sisoft database. it is listed with a 6-core proc (we assume the procs will be backward compatible. The entry comes from SMC (Super Micro). While originally intended for release late 2017, I do expect a launch Q1/Q2 2018 realistically with how incredibly low stock is for Coffee lake processors.

I guess Samsung, Gigabyte, GPU-Z and Crystal Mark/Crystal Disk are all wrong then, 2 argumentative forum users online clearly know better. You and the guy who claimed they would run at x1 speed, both without any evidence, just an AMD chip on their shoulder.

Stop lying already.

And you did not seem to have a good childhood, my mother taught me not to accuse someone of lying before I can provide a proof that he (or she) did. Please behave yourself. You still haven't posted the "parallel results" (benching every component, GFX and both m.2 SSDs) at the same time, but argue about others to provide evidence?!

I googled it for you in about 1 minute to have an example of throttling:

I do not think he was lying to be honest , i think he genuine though that every m2 drive he has can run at the same time full speed with out problems , although the way he came out calling people cavemen and liers made him he has to defend his claims at all cost i would have jumped in but the guys did a great job already i had nothing useful to add on this matter!

Yeah,i do not think either that he was lying,you see in his answers that he is not let's say very informed.Nobody of us knows everything that is why we have this nice little place

to ask questions and to find out a bit more about technology.
