Intel Coffee Lake i7 and i5 Hex-core CPU specification leak

New reports on Intel’s upcoming “Coffee Lake” CPUs are becoming increasingly frequent, slowly releasing more information about Intel’s upcoming 6-core mainstream CPUs.

Today a new report from “Sweeper” has been posted all over the internet over the past 12 hours, claiming to reveal the final specification of Intel’s i7 8700K, i7 8700, i5 8600K and i5 8600. “Sweeper” states that this data comes from a reliable source for Intel leaks and provided information that is consistent with other recent Intel leaks, like the i7 8700K’s reported 12MB of L3 Cache, 95W TDP and base clock speed of 3.7GHz.

Below is a table showcasing the leaked specification of Intel’s upcoming Coffee Lake CPUs, these specifications seem very reasonable for Intel’s 8th generation core CPUs, though the gap between Intel’s i7 8700K and its non-K variant is a lot closer than the last few generations.

	i7 8700K	i7 8700	i5 8600K	i5 8600
Cores	6	6	6	6
Threads	12	12	6	6
L3 Cache	12MB	12MB	9MB	9MB
Base Clock	3.7GHz	3.2GHz	3.6GHz	2.8GHz
6-core boost	4.3GHz	4.3GHz	4.1GHz	3.8GHz
4-core boost	4.4GHz	4.3GHz	4.2GHz	3.9GHz
2-core boost	4.6GHz	4.5GHz	4.2GHz	3.9GHz
1-core boost	4.7GHz	4.6GHz	4.3GHz	4.0GHz
TDP	95W	65W	95W	65W

At this time these specifications have not been confirmed by Intel or other sources so, for now, these specifications should not be considered as anything more than a rumour.

If these specifications prove to be correct, Coffe Lake will be a powerhouse for Intel’s mainstream CPU socket, offering high clock speeds and a high core count with more affordable motherboards with mainstream sockets.
