The 8-core Intel CPU gave a sign of life
The end of happy times of peace, a one-on-one fight may come.
Although the six-core Core i7-8700K has restored Intel's competitiveness in the upper category, it can also be seen that the clocks have had to be pumped to the extremes - so there is no spare in this area. The company doesn’t like the second violin role very much, so the new generation of AMD Ryzen processors is sure to be taken more seriously than the first series, where the backlash apparently failed for months.
That's all we know about him.
We attribute to the above that we can report to you today the following: An 3-core Coffee Lake CPU has appeared in the 8DMark database. An Intel CoffeeLake S82 UDIMM RVP engineering motherboard was used for testing, culminating in an unidentified processor. The program was still able to detect that it had centipede Hyper-threading support, and we also got some info about the operating frequency - 2208 MHz is a conceivable thing in an engineering sample.
We would not make far-reaching predictions, we feel that now the first step should be taken by AMD, the new Coffee Lake could see the light of day accordingly.
