The second Ryzen family started a clock race
With the “new” generation of Core imminent, Intel is picking up the glove.
Coffee Lake-based solutions are a kind of bridging role, a response to the AMD Ryzen 2000 series. According to the former, only small fine-tuning took place, the clocks increased by 100-200 MHz, but spiced up with a fresh name, this may already be enough for customers to reach into their wallets.

By the way, the information is not from an official microcode update guide, so it can be treated as an (almost) fact. As you can see in the table above, the four- and six-core models have now come off the shroud, but it’s easy to imagine more combo-type models coming to light in the coming months.
The official announcement of newcomers is yet to come.
