Intel could launch new processors later this year, in this case from the Coffee Lake family, which will have six cores, not only in the Core i7 family, but also in the Core i5 family.
The war to see who has the processor with the most cores is getting a bit absurd and processors and more processors are being released by Intel and AMD. Kaby Lake, Ryzen, Skylake-X, Kaby Lake-X, Ryzen Threadripper and those to come, with the Ryzen 3, some missing Skylake-X and the Raven Ridge, AMD APUs where a Ryzen CPU and a Vega GPU. The latest is the possible appearance of Intel's six-core processors.
During this second quarter we could see the arrival of new Intel processors, with a maximum of six cores, these based on the Coffee Lake architecture. The name of the processor with six cores and twelve processing threads will be called i7 8700K, with a frequency of 3.7GHz and on the Boost mode there is no data. The i7 8700K will have a TDP of 95W, well below the 140W TDP of the i9 7800X. Intel will launch a derivative of this i7 7800K, in this case, it will be the i7 7800, without the letter K, which will work at a base frequency of 3.2GHz.
There is also talk about a possible i5 with six cores and the difference between these i5 and the i7 is that they will not have HyperThreading. We would be talking in this case i5 8600K, which will have six cores and six processing threads, with a base frequency of 3.6GHz and will probably have the same 65W TDP that the i7 8700K will have. In addition to this processor, according to CPC Hardware, we will have a six-core processor with a base frequency of 2.8GHz and a TDP of 65W, which has been called i5 8400, which will compete directly with the AMD Ryzen 5.
These will be the first Intel processors to have six cores, but for laptops in this case. The frequencies of these processors based on the Coffee Lake architecture will have a much lower frequency, oscillating around 2GHz, with a TDP of 45W. The Coffee Lake-U processors ('U' is the name of the processors for laptops), will have a quad-core version with a TDP of 28W.

Greetings..! Good information, one question, what socket will these processors have?
Data points to 1151, compatible with Z170 and Z270. The new chipset would be the Z370
It must be the same, Coffe Lake, it's just a Kaby Lake + 2 cores! (and very few optimizations !!!)
As these do not go up to 5GHz and go soldiers, you will run out of excuses to make the ball to Intel eh? That those base frequencies are those of Ryzen and also Intel continues with the game of blocked CPUs.
Don't worry, something will come to me, I'm very creative.
I know, we know you
