We know that the Core i7-8086K is real. It appeared in pre-order on several online shops. The details about it continue to arrive slowly. Its launch should take place within a big week at a rate of around 400 dollars.
Intel will, therefore, mark the 40th anniversary of 8086. Its processor catalog will be enhanced with an anniversary chip, the Core i7-8086K. We should not expect a revolution but a boosted version of the popular Coffee Lake-s range showcase, I mean the Core i7-8700K.
Core i7-8086K, features.
Intel Core i7-8086K Processor
Referenced on several shops, we now know a little more about its mechanics. We have an LGA 1151 chip from the Coffee Lake-S family for our desktop computers. Intel is thus addressing the Main Stream market with a new showcase.
Its mechanics give birth to six physical cores and 12 logical cores thanks to Hyper-Threading technology. It embeds a graphics part entrusted to an in-house solution, an Intel UHD630, and 12 MB cache respond to the call.
If so far we are in front of a simple Core i7-8700K. The changes affect frequency. This Core i7-8700K is calibrated at 4 GHz base or a 300 Mhz more than the current 8700K. This increase in frequency is also found in Turbo mode. So Intel proposes for the first time of 5 GHz, a typical bar. Finally, on the thermal envelope aspect, a TDP of 95 Watts is to be expected.
Its official announcement is expected on June 8. This date will mark the 40th anniversary of the 8086 launched in 1978. On the question of the tariff, the information is to be confirmed as we are in a pre-order period. Logically, this thumb should be positioned above the current Core i7-8700K at 359 dollars. A lot of people are counting on 400 dollars…
