Presentation on Intel Coffee Lake - Need Help

[jiyeon]

Hi, I need to create a presentation on a subject of my choice for a job interview, and as you can tell, I've chosen Intel Coffee Lake. The interview needs to last 10 minutes, and the CEO who will be spectating my presentation has good knowledge on PCs so I can't miss anything out.

 

I have a few questions to prepare for the interview:

1. What details should I be including for this presentation? eg. core count, die size, etc

2. I'm thinking of expanding my subject to Kaby Lake, what comparisons should I make between Kaby and Coffee Lake?

3. Is worth talking briefly about the previous generations in order as an introduction and then transitioning into Coffee Lake?

4. Is worth talking about overclocks?

5. Should I talk about Cannon Lake at some point?

6. What order should my information be presented in for my Google Slides presentation?

 

Thank you all in advance for the help! Please gives as in-depth answers as you can, it will benefit me the most and get me higher chances of being chosen!

so it's an introduction of Coffee Lake?

It's basically an "All About Coffee Lake" presentation, but problem is I don't know what to include or where to begin.

I bet the interviewer will read this

He doesn't know any of my social media so it's unlikely he'd find my LTT profile of all things!

Well, I guess short introduction would be useful - what it is, what year it has been released, something like that. Then you can follow it up with specs and lineup of the architecture, performance, comparison with previous architecture. If that is still not enough, tell them that you can make coffee with it and show UFD Tech video.

I'd start with what makes Coffee Lake interesting to the consumer market. That is, the first 6 core CPUs from to be released by Intel in their mainstream platform. This should come with some history on how long 4 cores has been in the mainstream platform, say Kentsfield offer the first Core 2 Quads, Q6600 being the most popular while Sandy Bridge is the first to offer hyperthreading on a quad core processor in the mainstream platform. Then Intel decides to refresh the same core count and thread count for ages with small improvements here and there (insert performance graphs here maybe?, including IPC gains), until Coffee Lake comes.

 

Then comes the technical specs. die size, architecture design, those stuff. How much details you need to put in depends on the job and your qualifications.

 

Better not mention overclocking, since that breaks warranty (technically). Unless the job directly relates to overclocking.

 

Dont need to mention Kaby Lake, the performance graphs comparing generations of CPUs are enough.

 

You can mention Cannon Lake and 10nm process node, but lightly. There's only 1 10nm Intel CPU out there and it didnt impress anyone with performance or efficiency. We dont know if that's as good as Cannon Lake will ever get.

 

 

 

I hope I dont get to see you in an interview

OFC mention it but also mention the "PERFORMANCE TUNING PROTECTION PLAN" Intel offers.

Irrelevant imo. Overclocking has always been possible so it doesnt make Coffee Lake any special. As for the protection plan, that doesnt have anything to do with Coffee Lake itself either. You can add that to any other aechitecture, but it doesnt make that CPU more interesting.

higher limits make coffeelake special. like every new GEN. WR's make everything relevant. Its a technical characteristic. And the PTPP has to do with every CPU on the list, including coffeelake. Cant be wrong to atleast mention it 

 

what youve said is like "every chip uses silicon, so its not coffeelake relevant"

I'd call that 'increased single core performance', because a) clock speed doesnt mean everything and b) it's a job interview

Why would you call higher possible clocks on ALL cores "increased single core performance"? Whats wrong with you?

So far into my presentation, I have:

Slide 2 - Brief History: Nehalem until Coffee Lake briefly touching upon cores, threads, and what year they were releasde

Slide 3 - About Coffee Lake: 14nm process, October 2017 release, 300 series chipset usage (comparisons to 100 and 200 series compatiblity + Kaby Lake)

Slide 4 - 8th Gen Core i3: 4C4T, retail price, first time Intel mainstream i3 have 4 cores + comparison to Kaby Lake i3 core count

Slide 5 - 8th Gen Core i5: 6C6T, retail price, first time Intel mainstream i5 have 6 cores

Slide 6 - 8th Gen Core i7: 6C12T, only CL CPU to have hyper-threading, retail price, first time Intel mainstream i7 have 6 cores and 12 threads

 

I can't think of what to put for my final few slides, however. Have I missed anything out in my current slides?
