Intel to launch 6 core Coffee Lake-S CPUs & Z370 chipset 5 October 2017

[smilingcrow]

CoffeeLake is using the old ring topology. Not the Mesh one used on the KabylakeX & SkylakeX.

KabyLake X doesn't use the mesh as they are the same dies as regular KabyLake but in different packaging to support the different socket.
Hence they have the same features and not the features of Skylake X which is a re-positioned Xeon platform so inherits from the server design.

Intel really take the P with fleecing their customers. No wonder loads are heading to AMD.

I'm glad that AMD caught up, but i won't be impressed until ZEN 2 if what they said is near accurate. Even if they get close to 5Ghz and not exactly hit that, would be very good. Guess I'll be waiting until at least ZEN 2 to decide if i should switch from my 5820k, anything current is more of a side step.

It could be fake but the Core i3 8300 apparently is 4c/8t:

...is right.

^That would be very interesting if true. From a purely selfish point of view I'd not be so happy about what it'll do to the resale value of existing 4c8t CPUs

I'd be thinking this would be too big of a jump for intel.
4 core i3 I could certainly believe but they have essentially replaced an i7 with an i3?
I'm sceptical of this.

 

[zola25]

^I'm skeptical too, but I wouldn't rule anything out entirely as it's the first time in several years intel have not utterly controlled the market.

Of course, it is intel so a new 4c8t i3 could be priced at previous i7 levels whilst the new i7 costs the GDP of a small country

Kinda makes sense if they're going for something like this: Celeron = 2c/4t, Pentium = 4c/4t, i3 = 4c/8t, i5 = 6c/6t, i7 = 6c/12t.

People dismissing AMD's chips should take note that the instant they bring them out, Intel finally does some actual "innovation".

A 4C/8T Core i3 would probably do me for a cheapo upgrade for FO4.

Edit!!

OTH,the Ryzen 5 1600 might also drop down in price too!!

Its a good thing I decided to not upgrade from IB last year!!

It could be as hot and hungry as an i7 though, and will it OC?

 

[zola25]

^No "K" in the name, so imagine it will be multiplier locked

I dont think they will do this, would make the i5s 6c/6t pointless, no one would buy it

4c/4t is more likely

Innovation is a little strong. Product rebranding is a little closer to the truth.

Intel's Coffee Lake CPUs Not Compatible With Z270 Motherboards Says ASRock

Interesting stuff. Looks like it will be coming out in August (or starting to) and Z370 is a whole new chipset which will work with coffee lake and the coffeelake refresh (based on cannonlake).

The gotacha will be it's locked to 3Ghz something, requires 4 sticks of RAM and a £300 motherboard It will also probably get destroyed by a the average 2500K system

Yes, looks like Coffelake releasing late august early september. Money waiting.

24 lanes ? Come on Intel.!

 

[AStaley]

Just reading that article it looks like the Z370 is a refresh of the KabyLake chipset and the chipset meant for CoffeeLake (Z390) won't be released until the start of 2018.

So basically an evolved Z170 with an artificial lockout?? So I assume the Z370 won't work with Coffeelake??
