I just wanted to post this link for those who wanted to know a bit more about the new processors, It looks like they are going to be in a lot of new notebooks coming out soon and it's apparently a 40% increase over the kabylake processors.

A refresh of a refresh of skylake is 40% faster? I think not...

50% more cores. Yhh i better expect 40% more performance.

Intel should of put more cores in their consumer market cpus already.

Well I would disagree, since they're going from dual cores to quad cores.

2 cores to 4, 4 to 6.

I was surprised when I heard this and I'm currently building a pc but I have nothing but a case yet so this kind of brings everything to a stop ( I only found out yesterday ) until we know more but I'm sure that I'm probably just going to get an i7-7700k.

 

"Intel announced its latest 8th generation Core processors today, and is promising that the new chips will offer up to a 40 percent speed boost over the previous 7th generation Kaby Lake chips."

100% more cores. The boost is only 40% because they're using a benchmark suite that isn't just about multithreaded CPU performance.

This announcement is mostly about laptop chips.

 

Coffee Lake has been known about for a while. Would almost certainly be worth waiting if you can.

It is still 4 cores, Coffeelake will have 6.

I dont see anything specially mentioning mobile U SKUs with that claim.

I wonder what HQ chips in the future will look like. Underclocked 6 cores?
