Although the acclaimed launch date will be somewhen in August news leaks related to Coffee Lake are making it through almost every day now. This time Wccftech jumped the gun and they found another leak in the Geekbench database. In order to do some comparison, we have run quick test with our Core i7-5820K at stock clocks.



Before looking at all these numbers a few things need to be clarified. First of all the chip tested is an engineering sample and not the final CPU, furthermore the DDR4 memory ran at pretty low speeds. According to the Geekbench database, the upcoming Intel Core Coffe Lake 6-core at stock frequencies hits 20'828 points in the multi-core and 4'619 points in the single-core routine, while the Core i7-5820K with stock memory speed and stock frequencies is able to achieve 19'373 points in multi-core and 3'913 points in single-core.

In other words the 6-core Coffe Lake is 7% faster in multi-core and 18% faster in single-core. According to the information in the Geekbench database, the Coffee Lake CPU packs a base CPU clock of 3.2 GHz but unfortunately there are no details on the boost clock yet. Apart from that there is 12MB of L3 cache, which translates into 2MB per core.

Furthermore the benchmark has been run on an MSI MS-1T31 motherboard. Since this appears to be the name of a prototype motherboard we don’t know what socket or chipset is on this board. According to the latest rumors, Coffee Lake is supposed to launch alongside a new Z370 chipset. However some other sources report that Coffee Lake might still work on Z270 chipset with some BIOS update. As we’ve already mentioned this information definitely has to be taken with a grain of salt.
