Mobile coffee lake leaked

[NumLock21]

Some Thai youtube channel has leaked the upcoming, Acer Nitro AN515-31 laptop. The system is running on a Intel Core i7 8550u a quadcore with ht, running at 1.8ghz. 20gb of ddr4, and cost is around $752 dollars. With these ulv cpu at this price. Looks like performance based hexacore mobile coffeelake, will start in the $1500+ range?

For roughly the same amount, you can get a i5 7300HQ or $50 more a Core i7 7700HQ, on a kbl base laptop. And these are performance class processor, not those power saving crap, like that 8550u. This asus laptop selling at microcenter.

It comes with core i7 7700hq, 8gb ddr4, 256gb ssd, gtx 1050 2gb for $800.

Do we have confirmation it's a real quadcore?  So often the U chips are duals even when they're i5 or even i7s

It could be the new ulv quad cores

1.8ghz base clock.... that cant be a dual core.

They say it's a quad core, and even if it's real, the slow clock speed is a disappointment.

it might, you don't know how bad they might want it to be  

[SCHISCHKA]

i7 at 1.8GHz? that looks like a celeron clock speed.

U just means ultra low power. If they can stick two extra cores in and lower the clock speed I dont see why it wouldnt fit the U, but it does give the i7 the same specs as my quad core celeron which is why im calling this fake.

Well the fact it's quad is exciting though; the U series mobile chips are what I expected to be the last hold out of dual cores, so if even those have moved on, I think we can safely expect to see everything else as well.  ie, this is the long awaited death of the dual core.

if it was that bad I doubt acer would put it in a predator laptop

you would hope, but there it is, clear as day.  I'm not even talking about the speed btw, just the fact that it's a U chip in what should be a gaming laptop...

Can't they fake that stuff with registry edits though?

and cost is around $752 dollars.

which isn't an issue if its a quad core

probably.  Yeah, there's more than a few ways this could be faked if you really wanted to.

My Q6600 with a tape mod could challenge that thing if the 1.8GHz is true.

 

Which is why I don't think it's true.

it should boost a lot higher

2 more cores plus the de-clock equals the 30% gain they stated for CFL. So probably legit.

I was gonna say, it would be the first U series quad core

Has everybody complaining about the 1.8GHz forgotten Turbo Boost is a thing?

yeah, knowing intel and turbo boost numbers they should make "base clock" 1 GHz and then the all-core turbo 3 Ghz

Reminds me of those Core M processors, super low base but boosts pretty high up.

its quite possible it could have a 2 core turbo that is very close to last gens dual cores.

I think it's time to do away with a distinction between base clock and the all-core turbo.  Just as they specify the frequency X cores will hit, they need to just indicate the TDP at different whole-chip frequencies.  "base clock" is pointless and arbitrary and I'm tired of it existing... should have died when turbo boost was introduced.

Marketing looks better if they just advertise the boost and thats why they do it. All intel quad cores don't reach their advertised turbo on all cores.

There are atom based quad cores...

Yeah that also bugs me, they usually quote the base clock and the 1-core turbo, rather than just the all-core turbo which, if forced to pick just one, is probably the number most people care about.
