Intel is hosting a training for retailers in China for upcoming Coffeelake 8th Gen Core series. According to the leaked slide, the upcoming i7-8700K CPU will be 11% faster than 7700K in single threaded operations.

The slide also confirms that for the first time Intel will introduce quad-core i3 series and six-core i5 series.

Both Core i5 and i7 series are to use 6-core configuration, although the i5 will not support Hyperthreading.

Intel 7th GenSingle/Multi-Thread BoostIntel 8th Gen
i7-7700K (4C/8T) +11% / 51% i7-8700K (6C/12T)
i7-7700 (4C/8T) +18% / 58% i7-8700 (6C/12T)
i5-7600K (4C/4T) +19% / 55% i5-8600K (6C/6T)
i5-7400 (4C/4T) +29% / 61% i5-8400  (6C/6T)
i3-7350K (2C/4T) +17% / 65% i3-8350K (4C/4T)
i3-7100 (2C/4T) +16% / 61% i3-8100 (4C/4T)

 

Now we ony have to wait and see if those single-thread numbers are real or not, and how much of that may come from higher frequencies.

10% perf increase in single threaded is pretty good, but in what time frame? When is these processors being relaesed? I'm interested in an i7-8600K. These extra threads are youthless, 6 cores is more than enuff for gaming and even have a browser and other programs running in the background.
