Affected by various factors, Intel's product line in the past two years was a bit messy, coupled with many original products, architecture, and what's more mixed in the model.
Eight generations of the Core family, for example, contain a number of completely different series, the 14nm Coffee Lake-S on the desktop, the 14nm Kaby Lake-R on ultra-low-power notebooks, and the next 10nm Cannon Lake, and the higher The performance notebook is 14nm Coffee Lake-H.
There is no way to unify the names. For example, i3-8130U belongs to Kaby Lake-R, i3-8121U, i5-8269U, i7-8559U is suspected to belong to Cannon Lake, and i7-8850H/8950HQ belongs to Coffee Lake-H.
Do you think this is over?
GFXBench test database today appeared in a 'Core i7-8670', is obviously a new desktop, see number rules from Coffee Lake-S, but it broke the years of naming management.
In recent years, the name of the Intel desktop processor has always been very regular, i7-x7xx series, i5-x6xx/x4xx series, i3-x3xx/x1xx series, but this i7-8670, but i7/i5 together .
Test shows that It has 6 cores, 12 threads, clocked at 3.1GHz (apparently the reference frequency), and the core graphics card is still UHD 630.
From this specification, It should be a downclocked version of i7-8700 , Turbo Boost frequency is the highest or 4.5GHz, thermal design power 65W.
Anyway, I would like to see from the number of an affiliation of the Intel processor, specification characteristics is getting harder and harder.
