Intel has repeatedly stressed that its 10nm process is very advanced, comparable to TSMC / Samsung's 7nm, but the problem is that people have mass production market, you are still stuck in the paper, in any case justified.
According to the roadmap, Intel 10nm first product code-named Cannon Lake, but the details of it has been very vague, and how to position are not clear, coupled with follow-up product code more chaotic, can only say that Cannon Lake is likely to be for low power consumption Mobile platform, but not the whole platform.
We have found a few days ago Core i3-8121U , Dual-core four-thread, three cache 4MB, the base frequency 2.2GHz, most likely to support Turbo Boost, which is the first i3 series.
Foreign media have speculated that, according to the naming rules, specifications and characteristics of view, It should belong to 10nm Cannon Lake.
However, recently, Intel released one Core i3-8130U , Dual-core four-thread, three cache 4MB, the benchmark frequency 2.2GHz, Turbo can be accelerated to 3.4GHz, is the first i3 actually support Core frequency, but But under the 14nm Kaby Lake-R eight generations of Core family.
As a result, Intel's name is really a bit chaotic, see the current situation combined with previous news, 10nm Cannon Lake will also be included in the eight generations of core family, coupled with this 14nm Coffee Lake is also eight generations of core, this generation product includes three different platforms.
In fact, Intel's official code database has also been clearly marked, saying that in the future 10nm + Ice Lake is the ninth generation Core Duo.
Now in the Sandra database, we found a new 'Core i5-8269U Foreign media think Also belong to 10nm Cannon Lake.
This is a standard four-core eight-thread products, three cache 6MB, The biggest bright spot is frequency, the benchmark is as high as 2.6GHz!
You know, the fastest i5-U series models are Core i5-8350U, the benchmark is only 1.7GHz, Turbo Boost to 3.6GHz.
If the thermal design power is still able to maintain 15W, it really is a great achievement, enough to prove that Intel 10nm is not covered.
Just, hurry up!
