Intel 6-core Coffee Lake Surfaces in GeekBench (again)
An Intel upcoming 6-core Coffee Lake generation processor has surfaces in GeekBench (again). This CPU scored 4,619 points on a single thread and 20,828 on multi-threading. A comparable slightly clocked Ryzen 5 1600X (also 6-cores) scores 4,574 in single-core performance and 20,769 for the multi-core.
The coffee lake 14nm proc is a 6-core processor with 12 threads clocked at 3.19GHz. It has 1.5MB of L2 cache and 12MB of L3 cache. The proc should be running at a base-clock of 3.2 GHz however there is no metric of the Turbo clock-speed. It however is expect it to be 4.2GHz. Coffee Lake would be released together with the Z370 / H370 chipsets and logic assumes a release later this year in the Q3 region. Intel 300 series desktop processor motherboard would be based on the current LGA 1151 socket.
Coffee Lake is based on a 14nm fabrication node and would see a release in August or September with desktop version in a 4-core and 6-core model. It is rumored to be 15% faster compared to Kaby Lake. These would be tied towards the H370 and Z370 chipsets, and you guess it .. it will have a new socket. Obviously Intel will release K models (unlocked) in the Coffee Lake generation. In Q1 2018 Coffee Lake-S would see the light of day, these are dual-core parts.

I'm more interested in Cannon Lake than Coffee Lake (seriously, who thinks up these names, e.g. "Threadripper anyone?").
Cannon Lake will be the first implementation of a 10nm process. Looks like they milked 14nm for all it was worth.

is that 12mb of L3 cache i see? is intel finally moving on from their 6mb limit!
Small upgrade in IPC again by looks of things, though maybe we will finally get a 6 core mainstream :s wonder if they will still use cheap TIM instead of soldering just to save a few extra cents

3.19ghz is nothing to write home about. Think i'll stick with my 6850K and skip this new generation

Another 14nm refresh.
I'm not losing my time with Intel until they release something at 10nm.

You have in this one news peice a claim that it is based on LGA1151 (current 100 and 200 chipset socket) then later claim that CL will require a new socket?
