According to a screenshot posted on a Chinese forum (if these alarm bells aren’t clanging like a frickin’ church marriage ceremony already, there’s one thing mistaken with you) Intel are going to be releasing a 4GHz Core i3 CPU in the 8th Gen range which comes with 4 HyperThreaded cores spitting out eight threads.

There isn’t sufficient salt in Utah to cope with this new Intel Coffee Lake hearsay, however I kinda nonetheless really feel it’s price sharing for the sheer ‘WTF?’ nature of it. I imply, realistically, if that is true, and Intel resolve to let a Core i3 commit fratricide on the touted six-core Coffee Lake Core i5, then Chipzilla can have really misplaced the plot.
With eight threads working at 4GHz that may nearly put it on par with a current-gen i7 from the Kaby Lake vary. And that, in flip, would put it above the non-HyperThreaded six-core Coffee Lake CPU, which is supposedly solely going to be able to Turbo-ing to three.4GHz.
I do know they is perhaps beginning to really feel like they should compete with a resurgent AMD’s processing division, particularly after the Ryzen 3 1300X appears to have nailed the price range finish, however that is actually not the way in which to go about it. I advised you they can’t remember how to deal with these items anymore.
This touted Core i3 8300 would see Intel basically doubling the quantity of silicon they dropped into the Core i3 7300, which has two cores and 4 threads, and operates at a base 4GHz. They’ll even be doubling the cache depend too, which is to be anticipated with one other two cores within the bundle.
But hey, in the event that they persist with the identical $140 price ticket we’ll have a profitable price range CPU on our fingers and we don’t want to fret about something above this within the CPU hierarchy till we get to the Ryzen 5 1600X. Which is nice for us, even when it does completely cannibalise the remainder of the Intel CPU market….
Though, if this is not some mocked-up fake pic, I truthfully haven’t any clue what the tech world is as much as anymore.
