I already know that within Intel's upcoming 8th gen processors, there will be Kaby Lake R, Cannonlake and Coffee Lake. Kaby Lake R will be used in notebooks, but what will the difference be with cannonlake to coffee lake? Which one will be the mainstream found in most upcoming laptops and desktops builds? And what will the other one become used for? (I want to know because im hanging around for an 8700k :D )

canonn lake is 10nm

coffee lake is 14nm but refined kaby lake, which is just skylake, so think of it as an actual refinement instead of a rebrand 

and there is going to be a refreshed kaby lake '8th' generation, which just slaps on 2 more cores I think 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

CoffeeLake is a 14nm refresh of KabyLake with more cores.

CanonLake is the first gen 10nm CPU arch and so its only for mobile.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Thankyou for the input but I believe Icelake is in fact Intel's 9th gen.
