New Intel Coffee Lake 8600 - 8500 - 8300 Models Are Confirmed
We mentioned a couple of leaks in webshops already, the processors are now confirmed, and some more. The Core i3 8300, Core i5 8500 and some other processors for a couple of times already. The Intel database is listing them and another eight procs, including Pentiums and Celerons.
So we already talked about the 6-core Core i5 8500. You can also add the Core i3-8300. The Core i3 8300 model has four cores but lacks hyper-threading, it has a good base clock of 3.7 GHz though, and 9MB-L3 cache. This might become a sweet-spot CPU for many as the price will hover in the 139 EUR/169 USD marker.
Product code | CPUID | Model |

BX80684I58600 S R3X0 | SR3X0 | Core i5-8600 |
BX80684I58500 S R3XE | SR3XE | Core i5-8500 |
BX80684I38300 S R3XY | SR3XY | Core i3-8300 |
BX80684G5600 S R3YB | SR3YB | Pentium G5600 |
BX80684G5500 S R3YD | SR3YD | Pentium G5500 |
BX80684G5400 S R3X9 | SR3X9 | Pentium G5400 |
BX80684G4920 S R3YL | SR3YL | Celeron G4920 |
BX80684G4900 S R3W4 | SR3W4 | Celeron G4900 |
The Intel Core i5 8500 has six cores, no hyperthreading but would be a notch faster compared to the Core i5 8400. The CPU has a 3.00 GHz base clock speed, unfortunately, the Turbo Boost frequencies are not listed. The i5-8400 comes with a 4.00 GHz Boost frequency so arguably you can expect something 4.20 or 4.30 GHz.

Comes included with all variants of Spectre and Meltdown included, and probably not even new BIOS versions on the mainboard. It's a feature, not a bug

So for the same 170 usd u can get an I3 with 4 cores @3.7Ghz and garbage graphics OR a Ryzen APU with 4c/8t @3.6Ghz and really good (for an iGPU) graphics???
But yeah... they will probably sell well thx to oem deals and brand loyalty.....

A little odd they don't have a 4c/8t model. I think what they should've done was:
i5 8400: 4c/8t
i5 8500K: 4c/8t, overclockable
i5 8600: 6c/6t
i5 8600K: 6c/6t, overclockable
I also don't really understand the point of the Celerons. They'd be fine for IoT, embedded devices, POS machines, tablets, and laptops, but who is going to buy them for a desktop PC? Miners would likely opt for cheaper last-gen parts, or AMD.
