Intel and AMD have been playing nuclear wars for more than a year: The mainstream of the desktop, you have 8 cores and I have 6 cores. You have 16 cores and I have 18 cores. You have 8 cores and I also have 6 cores.
On the whole, Intel’s current core size is still slightly inferior, but it will soon catch up.
The i7-8700K is the 6th core of Intel's first mainstream desktop class, but there is early evidence that Intel will also bring 8 cores to mainstream users in the second half of this year.
Now we saw it in the 3DMark database for the first time. The model does not recognize it and only shows 'Genuine Intel(R) CPU 0000 @ 2.20GHz', follow the previous message May be named Core i7-9700K.
It does have 8 cores and 16 threads, but both the reference and the acceleration frequency are identified as 2.2GHz, which is obviously wrong. If the benchmark is only 2.2GHz is too low, after all, i7-8700K also did a 3.7GHz start.
The manufacturing process and power consumption are unknown, but Certainly still 14nm, thermal design power is likely to exceed 100W.
With the motherboard identified as 'Intel CoffeeLake S 82 UDIMMRVP ', is an engineering model, prove it Still belongs to the Coffee Lake-S family.
From the current signs, The 8-core version of the Coffee Lake S package should still be LGA1151, but with the motherboard to upgrade to Z390, once again staged incompatible tragedy.
In fact, the Z370 was originally a hurried product. The Z390 was originally orthodox in planning. The specification features would change greatly. It was just that AMD completely disrupted the rhythm.
Since upgrading to the 6 core is not compatible with the Z270, upgrading to the incompatible Z270 is also expected. It depends on whether or not it can be cracked again.
In addition, If this 8-core is really named i7-9700K, it may be classified as a 9th-generation Core serial, which is even more confusing:
Coffee Lake-S Desktop, Coffee Lake-H High-Performance Mobile, Kaby Lake-R Low-Power Mobile, 10nm Cannon Lake Low-Power Mobile, Four Different Platforms Are Included in the Eight-Generation Core, but Also Coffee Lake -S, but it needs to be divided into two generations, and the future 10nm+ Ice Lake is probably also a nine-generation Core.
