Fourth time’s the charm. At least that seems to be Intel’s contention with its upcoming fourth generation of chips to be based on the 14nm manufacturing node and 8th generation of Core processors altogether.
After finally releasing the 7th generation, or Kaby Lake, Core processors unto the world late last year, the Santa Clara chipmaker tweeted that its 8th-generation Coffee Lake chips would – contrary to popular belief – harbor performance 15% better than their predecessors.
Despite abandoning the “tick-tock” formula, wherein Intel would come out with a redesigned chip known as the “tick” and then shrink the die the following year for a so-called “tock”, there are still huge gains to be had from the 14nm fabrication process. Perhaps Moore’s Law subsists after all?
Cut to the chase
- What is it? Intel’s 8th-generation 14nm Core processor
- When is it out? The second half of autumn 2017
- What will it cost? Likely as much as current Kaby Lake CPUs
Intel Coffee Lake release date
After stating back in February that Coffee Lake would surface in the latter half of the year, Intel reassured us the validity of its claim at Computex 2017 held in …read more
