Intel has claimed that their new 8th-gen CPU’s will be a massive 40% faster.
Intel have announced that their 8th-gen CPU’s will be a massive 40% faster, when compared to 5 year older products for which Intel expect consumers to upgrade from.
Intel has managed this by designing 4 CPU cores into it’s U series chips which have intended use for ultraportable laptops and other portable devices. Now that quad-core has been achieved, another 500MHz of boost has been added allowing for the chip to reach speeds of 4.2GHz.
Laptops featuring this 8th-gen CPU will be rolled out sometime in September following by desktops models in the fall. Intel has a lot planned with talk of these 8th-gen CPUs and also discussion on their first 10nm chips.

Hello! My name Jak Connor I’m based in Australia and I picked up PCgaming as child when I was around ten years old. I mostly played RTS games back then, putting many hours into Age of Empires 1/2 and Age of Mythology. My love for PC gaming grew and stayed with me as I now have a passion for gaming and the amazing technology jumps developers show us all the time. I pledge that I will be bringing you fine people of DSOgaming the most unique and interesting news I can find!
40% faster, when compared to 5 year older products ……
Just intel things ………..
That’s actually not bad. It took AMD how many years? kek
Nothing compare to intel actually!
It took intel 10 years to get from 4 to 6 cores on desktop, and only reason for that was AMD’s competition.
Again 10 years!
Well when Intel quad core CPUs were destroying AMDs octopuses then what was the hurry? Add to that that no one was complaining about Intel performance and you have your answer…
To be fair, there’s been very little incentive to push cores until recently, anyway; DX11 was sh*t at multi-core support so it didn’t matter for gamers, whereas other industries etc. were doing just fine with 2-4. The only people that could massively benefit would be the ones using workstations, in which case they would go for the Xeons anyway, which have been steadily pushing core numbers over the years.
As such, considering how AMD’s multi-core approach has only been so successful in netting them much of anything in the way of marketshare, I can see why Intel figured “why bother” for so long.
Also, they did actually flirt with desktop hexa-cores back in the last days of the X58 chipset in…. 2011(?), I think it was, for that matter, but they subsequently dropped back down to quad-cores with the “Bridge” series & have stayed with it ever since.
So, yeah, it’s taken them a while to get back to hexa-cores, but I doubt if it’s ever been a tech thing, just a sheer volition thing.
For mobile, as for desktop that will arrive in q4
So should o retire my 3770k 4.2ghz or wait to 2020?
What I plan to do is wait until next year and pick up a 10nm Cannonlake to replace my Ivy Bridge. Coffee Lake is a worthwhile upgrade for us but I expect Cannonlake should exceed the performance of Coffee Lake by a good bit. Now that AMD has b*tch-slapped Intel I think Intel is motivated to putting out some decent CPUs next year.
My 3570k is stil allive and dooing almost ok . Yeah am gona do it as well unil intel is gona roll out a seacret update and make old cpus work 100% in idle. I guess we are cpu bros.
I upgraded my 3570k to a R5 1600 @ 4ghz and its been a pretty solid upgrade.
Push it to 4.8GHz and wait until 2020. 🙂
not that easy at 4.4 ghz its unstable no matter how much volts i throw at it and at 4.3 it need too much volts and the temps are too high for my taste
I was on the hunt for a laptop recently (as I might be working on-site at different locations for a month at a time), and the value proposition of gaming laptops has certainly improved. You can get viable gaming machines these days for £600-1100 (with 1050s on the low-end, and 1060s on the high).
Things have really gone from strength to strength on the laptop GPU side. It’s only really the processors that aren’t quite there yet. Hopefully Coffee Lake will rectify that.
Due to the efficiency of Pascal it really is a good thing for laptops and most likely people will be getting a 15.6 inch 1080p screen which is fine and a 1060 is plenty to run that on mostly high settings. Of course there’s the unknown variable out there with Volta and I expect it to be considerably faster than Pascal next year so most likely a 1150/2050 (whatever they decide to call it) entry level Volta will be plenty for such a laptop.
Yeah, if Nvidia keep up the power efficiency gains a 1160 Ti with the performance of something like a 1060 but the power footprint of a 1050/1050 Ti would really be something.
