Intel 8th Gen Core Coffee Lake CPUs officially announced
 

Couple of SKUs and new Z370 chipset

Intel has officially announced its 8th generation Core Coffee Lake desktop CPUs as well as its newest Z370 chipset, which will be a must for these new CPUs, despite being based on the same socket.

Although we have already seen Intel's 8th generation Core launched earlier with Kaby Lake Refresh mobile parts, the star of the show are the new Coffee Lake desktop parts and today, Intel unveiled a total of six 8th gen Core SKUs, including two Core i7 parts, the Core i7-8700K and the Core i7-8700; two Core i5 parts, the Core i5-8600K and the Core i5-8400; and two Core i3 parts, the Core i3-8350K and the Core i3-8100; as well as the new Z370 chipset.

Although based on the same 14nm manufacturing process and pretty much the same design as the Kaby Lake architecture, improvements in the process allowed Intel to get higher performance at nearly the same TDP. The GPU on these new Coffee Lake CPUs should be the same as on Kaby Lake CPUs, but with a slightly higher clock speed.
