Previously, Intel reported that the next generation of processors - Kaby Lake Refresh on the process technology of 14 ++ will be ahead of the predecessors by up to 15%. This is official evidence . The company showed the result of comparative testing of the processors Core i7-7600U (Turbo boost 3.9 GHz, 2? / 4T) and Core i7-8xxx (Turbo boost 4.0 GHz, 4? / 8T), in which the second was ahead of the first one on the required value. The number of cores in this case does not matter, since
the test passed in the activation mode of one computational thread.
During the conference at Computex 2017, the representative of Intel reported that the Core i7-8000 processors will in some cases be more productive than the predecessors by up to 30%. As long as there were only engineering samples of Core i7-8000 in the work, the result could be even better by the value of 5-7%. Or worse for the same value, if the company in the mass production of new products can not realize the frequency potential.
By the way, Intel also confirmed plans to launch mobile and desktop versions of the Core i7-8000 simultaneously. It will happen at the end of this year in the days of Christmas or just before the holidays.
In conclusion, we add that Intel did not specify which processors the Core i7-8000 is talking about: 14 ++ Coffee Lake or 10-nm Cannon Lake. Also, it is not known whether the company will assign 10-nm processors to the generation of Core i7-8000. At the first stage, this definitely will not happen, if we talk about desktop solutions. So the value of the performance gain of 30% with a high degree of probability can still be attributed to the processors Coffee Lake, because this is
clearly a planned event. Related Products :
