A French magazine/website allegedly obtained information about engineering samples from Intels Coffee Lake consumer CPUs. Pointing towards a sudden change in core count for Intel's mainstream line of core I CPUs after seven generations without a change in core count.
From the site:
CPU - cores/threads - frequency - L3 - TDP
i7 8700k - 6c/12t - 3.7Ghz - 12MB - 95w
i7 8700 - 6c/12t -3.2Ghz - 12MB - 95w
i5 8600k - 6/6 - 3.6Ghz - 9MB - 95w
i5 8400 - 6/6 - 2.8Ghz - 9MB - 65w
These CPUs are set to use the LGA1151 socket. Which would also mean that the LGA1151 socket is the first consumer socket in a long time to host more than two generations of Intel CPUs. (As long as the chipset will be compatible of course)
