Coffee lake Core i7:

Yes you heard it right, Intel is going to release their new six-core processors, which will be based on Coffe lake architecture, this processor would be named Core i7-8700k, it is kinda similar to Core i9 7800x, the processor will have a base frequency of 3.7GHzz and will have Hyperthreading enabled ( 12 threads). The processor will have much lower TDP of 95w comparing the Core i9-7800x which had 140w. According to Rumours, Intel is also planning to launch Core i7-8700 non-k which will have a base frequency of 3.2 GHz.

yes, that’s right, Intel is planning to release Core i5 with 6 core processors.

Conclusion.

I think it’s Intel’s only chance to try and beat AMD Ryzen because AMD Is also planning to release their Ryzen 3 lineup, which will beat Intel’s old generation processors, that includes Core i5-3470 etc. Let’s see how it competes to the upcoming AMD Ryzen 3, of course, it’s meant to beat AMD Ryzen 5 still let’s see.
