Intel Coffee Lake CPU appears on SiSoftware Sandra
Intel Coffee Lake CPU appears on SiSoftware Sandra
Â
Right now Intel is surrounded by a maze of rumours, be them about 10nm, Coffee Lake, Cannon Lake and even their second generation 10nm Ice Lake CPUs. Â
Â
Rumour has it that Intel will be releasing new CPU products in August, codename Coffee Lake, which will release on a new Z370 socket. If these rumours are true they will be replacing Kaby Lake a mere 8 months after launch, which is sure to leave a sour taste in the mouths of Intel fans.Â
Â
Coffee Lake is expected to be based on their existing Kaby Lake designs with several core improvements, though the key changes with Coffee Lake will be with the inclusion of 6-core products on a desktop platform. This will be the first time that a 6-core product will not be released on Intel’s HEDT platform sockets like X79, X99 and X299. Â
Â
The CPU shown below comes with a base clock speed of 3.1GHz and a boost clock speed of 4.2GHz, with a total of 12MB of L3 Cache (2MB per core, same as Kaby-Lake). At this time it is unknown if Coffee Lake will function on LGA 1151 motherboards or require a new socket design.Â
 Â
Â
If recent reports are to be believed, Coffee Lake will be based on 14nm and come with 6-core variants on a 149mm^2 die and 4-core parts on a 126mm^2 die, which means that quad-core parts will not be 6-cores with disabled hardware.Â
At this time, Coffee Lake is expected to be Intel’s last architecture that will be based on Intel’s 14nm process node.Â
