Back in late April, we realized that Intel was ready to speed up the output of Coffee Lake-K desktop models, equipped with a free multiplier, and offer them in August this year. The main weapon of this processors family is the availability of six-core models in the assortment. It is considered that such changes in Intel's plans occurred after the introduction of AMD Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 processors on the market.
The release of mass models of Coffee Lake-S in the desktop segment did not change: the processors of this series with a limited multiplier will only come out early next year. Mobile processors Cannon Lake series "U" and "Y" will be presented this summer.
Processors for compact systems that are satisfied with passive cooling system - the name of the resource of our colleagues obliges us to pay special attention to this topic. So, the processors of the Gemini Lake family with a high degree of integration will be released in the fourth quarter this year. They will offer two or four cores with the Goldmont Plus architecture and an increased to 4 MB cache of the second level, graphics system Gen9 generation with 18 execution units
in the maximum configuration. The TDP value of these SoCs will not exceed 6 watts in the mobile segment, and 10 watts in the desktop.
In addition to support for HDMI 2.0 and DDR4, these "systems on a chip" will offer native Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support. Processors Gemini Lake should be released on an improved version of the 14-nm process technology. Related Products :
