Intel’s upcoming 8 core and 16 thread Coffee Lake processor has just made an appearance in the Sisoftware database. The chip which will be part of the 8th generation core processor family has been rumored for a while now but the listing makes this part almost official.
The chip that has been leaked has no naming scheme attached to it at the moment since the part is still a very early sample. The chip was tested on the Kaby Lake client system test platform which confirms another critical detail about this processor which is that this chip will be compatible with current generation motherboards. Even though Intel is likely to announce their Z390 motherboard refresh in the second half of 2018, the chip will likely be supported by all 300-series board such as the Z370 models.
