The full features of the Intel Coffee Lake i7 8700K, i7 8700, i5 8600K and i5 8400 processors, the first processors for the Intel gaming segment with six cores, have been leaked.
Not everything was going to be leaks regarding AMD processors and graphics cards. It is Intel's turn with what will be its next desktop processors, the Coffee Lake, which as we know, in its highest version, or what is the same, the Core i7, will have six cores and twelve processing threads. They are expected to arrive between September and the end of the year, although Intel could launch them in the last quarter, to take advantage of the Christmas pull, where a lot of technology is given away.
Well, it seems that today more data has been leaked about the new Intel processors, by Sweeper, a Hardforum user, who on other occasions has already leaked more things from Intel and that have been confirmed. Specifically, it has filtered all the characteristics of the Intel i7 8700K, i7 8700, i5 8600K and i5 8600. The i7 8700K and i7 8600K processors will have a TDP of 95W, while the i7 8700 and i5 8400 will have a TDP of 65W. They are the same TDP as the Kaby Lake processors and they are a rehash of the Kaby Lake with more cores.
At the end of the post we will leave you the complete specifications, but we want to explain something. We see that there are four Boost modes. The first affects all the cores or what is the same, it is the maximum frequency at which all the cores will reach, the next, refers to the automatic frequency at which the four best cores will arrive, the next Boost is for the two best processor cores and the last Boost is for the best core of the six-core set. It's a bit tricky, but the bottom line is, the better the kernel, the more frequency it can hit.
It should be noted that in this generation of processors, the Core i7 will have six cores and twelve processing threads, the Core i5 will have six cores and six processing threads and although it is not confirmed, the Core i3 could have four cores and eight processing threads . Intel needs to get these processors out, because AMD with its good modular processors has given it a little humble bath.

I think that Intel in the worst case scenario could also opt for i5 with 4 cores and 8 threads and the i3 with 4 cores and 4 threads, although it would be better if they chose to put 6 cores and 6 threads in the i5 and put 4 cores and 8 threads in the i3, since they would age much better and would be quite good solutions since without spending a lot of money you would have an excellent performance.
Think that more threads in an i3 than an i5 can be a serious error
Why?
That will be hotter than a coffee from a bar.
