Intel is expected to launch its 8th generation of CPUs in just a couple of days, but early adopters might have to wait more than just few days. It's not the first time that Intel is facing supply issues at launch and according to Sweclockers we might have to wait until mid-December until these chips are widely available.

Intel is announcing it’s first so called neuromorphic processor. The chip is still in the testing phase and it's been designed for help solving specific problems in physics and biology. According to Intel, Loihi should be highly energy efficient chip. In fact, the chip is supposed to be up to 1000 times more efficient than a general purpose computer chip.

Following the leak of yesterday from expreview.com about the Core i7-8700K, PCOnline has jumped the gun testing the upcoming Intel Core i5-8600K processor on an Intel Z370 series motherboard. Since there aren't more details on the test setup, we don't know what kind of memory has been used.

Since we’re getting closer to the launch of the Intel’s Coffee Lake processors more and more leaks are making it through. Meanwhile expreview.com has jumped the gun testing an upcoming Intel Core i7-8700K processor on an Intel Z370 series motherboard with 4 x 8GB of DDR4-2400 memory in place.

With the launch of Coffee Lake, Intel will finally bring their first six-cores and twelve-threads processors to the mainstream market. Since the new series of CPUs require a new chipset, motherboard vendors will release several "new" models. The motherboards are quite similar to the previous generation based on the Z270 chipset, overall the differences are more about design and LEDs.

The acclaimed launch date of Coffee Lake based CPUs is somewhen next month, however Intel is also working on adding new Kaby Lake-X processors to their line-up. According to a rumor on Videocardz, Intel might release the first dual-core Core i3, which is compatible with X299 motherboards. The i3-7360X is basically the same CPU as the i3-7350K but for Intel’s HEDT platform.

Another set of benchmarks on Intel CPUs has surfaced, this time it looks like the upcoming Intel Core i9-7980XE has been tested. This model features 18 cores and 36 threads, and it’s supposed to be combined with 24.75 MB of L3 cache. The benchmarks have been conducted on an ASUS Apex motherboard with 32GB DDR4-3200 C15 memory.

A few weeks ago we’ve found out that Intel's upcoming Coffee Lake processors won’t work on Intel 200 series motherboards. The same incompatibility is between Kaby Lake processors and the upcoming Intel Z300 motherboards. A few days ago, our friends over at hardware.info have tested both combinations and according to them, the Intel 200 series is incompatible with the 300 series.

According to latest rumors, Intel is planning to release their new Coffee Lake CPUs alongside the Z370 chipset in Q4 2017. Although the acclaimed launch date will be somewhen during the first days of October, news leaks related to Coffee Lake are making it through almost every day now.

Another set of benchmarks on Intel's Coffee Lake CPUs has surfaced. This time it looks like the six-core Intel Core i7-8700K, that’s supposed to make it to market next month, has been put through its paces using Cinebench R15. So far it looks like Coffee Lake is going to perform quite good.

It looks like the rumors are starting to become more interesting when it comes to Coffee Lake, since meanwhile some more performance figures are making it through. This time a fresh result has appeared in the Geekbench database. In order to do some comparison, we have run a quick test with our Core i7-5820K at stock clocks and overclocked.

It looks like Intel has silently released their Core i9-7920X. The Core i9-7920X features 12 cores and 24 threads, and it’s been combined with 16.50 MB of L3 cache. The base clock is set to 2.90 GHz which is a pretty significant step down from the Core i9-7900X's 3.30 GHz.

At the moment it seem that there is basically no day passing by where there are no new rumors on Intel’s upcoming Coffee Lake processors. Just a few days ago we’ve last been writing about alleged clock speeds of Intel's upcoming mainstream processors and today there is new information on Guru3D.

According to latest rumors, Intel is planning to release their new Coffee Lake series of CPUs alongside the Z370 chipset in Q4 2017. Although the acclaimed launch date will be somewhen in October, news leaks related to Coffee Lake are making it through almost every day now.

The rate at which rumors on Coffee Lake are making it through these days is quite impressive. It's not been long ago that we've last written about alleged clock speeds of Intel's upcoming mainstream processors and already today we find new information on Wccftech.

One month before the launch of Coffee Lake, Intel retires their 6th generation processors. The two years old Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K are now discontinued. The retirement of the 6th generation chips doesn't really come as a surprise, since Intel never sold three generations of chips in parallel.

A while ago well-known overclocker Der8auer created a tool to delid Skylake (and other) processors. Now, with the Intel Core i9 chips, he managed to delid them as well using his new Delid Die Mate X tool. This time he focused on the current flagship, the Core i9-7920X.

On reddit, user ingebor has posted alleged sales number of AMD processors versus chips from Intel. According to him the sales numbers come from German e-tailer Mindfactory. What they actually show is that - if correct - AMD Ryzen and Ryzen Threadripper sales have overtaking sales of Intel mainstream processors. To put the size of Mindfactory.de in perspective, it could be called the “German Newegg”.

Although the acclaimed launch date will be somewhen in the upcoming months one leak after another is making it through. This time Techpowerup found yet another leak in the Geekbench database. Like the upcoming Coffee Lake-S series, the mobile chips will feature up to six-cores.

Another set of benchmarks on Intel's Coffee Lake CPUs has surfaced. This time it looks like the quad-core Intel Core i3-8350K has been tested. This model features four cores, four threads and a TDP of 95W. According to the latest rumors, the upcoming CPUs should become available this October.
