The Intel Core i3 8121U of the Cannon Lake family is seen in 10nm in an Intel NUC with an AMD RX 550

New benchmarks of an Intel Cannon Lake processor, the Core i3 8121U, in this case in an Intel NUC and would be accompanied by an AMD RX 550 graphics card.

It is evidence that Intel has had problems when developing the 10nm manufacturing process and it is that the 10nm process reduces the transistor in its entire size and not a part, like other manufacturing processes, self-described 7nm and the like, that after they are not 7nm. The difficulties will be seen with each reduction of the transistors, you just have to see GlobalFoundries, who has already been forced to delay the 5nm for a year (they are already in development). Going back to Intel, their 10nm Cannon Lake processors could arrive soon in an Intel NUC.

It appears that WinFuture already has one of these systems. These processors were supposed to arrive last year, but difficulties in the manufacturing process for these 10nm transistors, along with Spectre and Meltdown, have forced Intel to change its plans. A year's delay and still no release date for these processors, which has forced Intel to stretch the 14nm process to its limits.

This medium has been made with an OEM equipment from Intel that would carry a 10nm processor. It is not the first leak of this type, since in the past a computer has leaked, we suppose a Lenovo laptop, with the Intel Core i3 8121U, which would work at a frequency of 2.2GHz and would have a TDP of 15W.

The benchmark published by TUM APISAK on Twitter shows the Intel NUC8i3CYB, which would integrate the Core i3 8121U processor with an RX 550 GPU, a simple and discreet solution for entry-level gaming and office automation tasks. This system has given a total of 4434 points, offering 4209 points in the processor section and 4553 points in the graphics section.
