8 Core Coffee Lake on its way

[BongoHunter]

Seems some eagle eyed redditors have spotted some details on the Intel site:

So when do we expect these to land? It's taken them long enough!

Hopefully these won't need a new motherboard either but not clear yet, found another article on Tomshardware:

Just in time for 24 core Threadripper

Would love to see this, just don't think it's going to be possible unless they are willing to break X399 compatibility

Am very curious about what price point they can ship this at, I think it's definitely going to be more expensive than the 8c16t ThreadRipper, but will it come in at under the 1920X....
