Unannounced Intel Core i7 8086K Spotted
Yes, you read that right, a nostalgic sounding 8086 processor. So then, Intel might be planning a special processor to be released with the 40th anniversary of the 8086 processor?
The processor would/could be in testing stages at Intel, however, in a Chinese forum someone released information and screenshots on it, as Wccftech noted. The Core i7 8086K would be a respin of Coffee Lake S and would get a vase clock of 4.0GHz, however, it would get a boost to 5.1GHz. Everything about Intel's Turbos is vague as they do not release info about it anymore, we I can only assume that 5.1 GHz is a single thread and core boost and 4.4 for the all-core boost.
It, however, would effectively make the proc fast than a Core i7 8700K. The 8086K would be the same six cores part with the same TDP of 95W. This remains to be a rumor though, Intel has not published anything about it. It would not be the first-anniversary processor Intel release, remember the Pentium 20th Anniversary G3258 Processor?
8086K ... right, going to the attic now, gotta find me an MS-DOS floppy disk :-) Oh and keep in mind, although it's a bunch of them (screenshots) they could very likely be fake.

I really hope this is real (at least as the product name). They could sell this on June 8th, the 40th anniversary of the original.

Wait: Z370? A release without a new chipset?!?!? This must be FAKE NEWS!

maybe this will be a soldered version of the 8700K :p

Jokes on you. Its going to be an actual 8086 CPU. Cant sue for false advertising.
Edit: In all seriousness Im guessing this is going to be something like a Celeron with missing cache but high clocks?
I do not think intel would sell singe cache-less CPU within i7 line. Today, main difference between i, Pentium is cache configuration. And then core count.

Hard to believe the 8086 was released on my birthday. That thing's ancient.

It's for LGA 1151-2. Would work not only with Z390, but also with Z370, H370 and B360 motherboards.

It will have to have a new motherboard with an extra socket for adding a Math Co-Processor.
And in 200 Years we will celebrate the 80286

it was a Titan xp and not a 1080TI
and it was sold 100Euro less than a Titan xp (exept the 1st serie that were at the same price)
If it is as good as G3258 (best OC and price/perf ratio) then i might get one instead of waiting Ryzen to be in stock here...

40 years, and modern CPUs still need to be compatible to that CPU. Isn't that weird?

Over a hundred years using basically the same engine design, not weird.. Just another failure thanks to Capitalism.

I'm not talking about design. All CPUs use the same design. I mean the instruction set ("platform".) There's ARM CPUs which are not compatible to 8086. PowerPC, etc. But on PC (and Mac, but not for long*) we're still compatible with that 40 year old thing.

Technically its compatible, but in practice its done using emulation (ie. "Virtual 8086 mode"). The x86 instruction set has evolved quite a bit since those days.
On that note, the basic ARM6 instruction set is also over 25 years old now, with its predecessors going back almost as far as the 8086.
