Intel Document Confirms Eight-Core Coffee Lake-S Xeon Product Line

If you are interested in the eight-core Coffee Lake's eight-core Coffee Lake desktop processor, there is a bit of new news from Intel. In a Dear Customer Letter (DCL), the company offers its partners A guide to the identification and use of the 'Xeon E Coffee Lake-S 8C Processor ES' sample. Obviously, this will be an Xeon family engineering sample processor and it uses the LGA 1151 package interface.

Although it is impossible to clarify the relationship between Xeon and the Core product line, the official has at least confirmed that there is such a processor core. After all, in addition to a ticket to move the chip, the company has not yet officially launched the Coffee Lake Xeon E-Series.

Judging from the history of recent years, the Xeon E3 series of entry-level and Intel's desktop CPU have many common points, so it is not surprising to see the LGA 1151 interface. As for the motherboard is not yet another wave, then It's hard to say.

In previous generations, players could even pair with low-cost B360 motherboards. But starting with the Skylake architecture, Intel has forced the desktop Xeon platform to use the C200 series chipset.
