AMD Ruilong forced Intel to accelerate all the way. The mainstream platform upgraded from 4 core 8 threads to 6 cores and 12 threads. However, in the face of the large area of 8 cores and 16 threads of the Ruilong 7 series, Intel still seems to be in multi-threaded performance. Lesser.
For this reason, Intel also planned the first 8-core product of mainstream level, and now it finally appears!
In the Sisoftware database, Intel has already seen a new 8-core 16-thread product with 8x256KB L2 cache, 16MB L3 cache, and a frequency of 2.6GHz.
Engineering sample frequency is relatively low, do not have to care too much, but since it is 8 cores, the reference frequency must not be high where it must, see Turbo Boost.
The code is still Kaby Lake (seven-generation Core), but we know that Kaby Lake (7-generation Core), Coffee Lake (eight-generation Core) is actually no essential difference, but the latter specifications are higher, the process is more skilled.
In fact, due to the delay in the mass production of the 10nm process, the following Whisley Lake (not knowing whether to fall into the eighth generation or the nineth generation) still has no fundamental change. It is only temporarily pulled out.
Test information also shows that this processor is running Kaby Lake Client platform , The specific motherboard is unknown, but it also further proves that recent generations of products are actually interoperable.
The new Z390 chip set by Intel has been officially released, but it is rather disappointing. Just like the B360, the H310 has added native 802.11ac Wave2 (1733 Mbps), Bluetooth 5.0, and six USB 3.1 Gen.2, while the PCI- There is no change in the number of E-channels and DDR4 memory frequency.
It has been confirmed that the Z390 motherboard will be compatible with the existing eight generations of Core processors. The only question is whether the Z370 motherboard can be put on eight cores? Theoretically there is no technical obstacle...
