The Intel 8-core processor along with the Z390 motherboard will be released in the second half of 2018
Intel launched Coffee Lake processors early last month. Of course, desktop processors and Z370 motherboards won’t be available until October 5th (rumors indicate a delay in the release of this platform until early 2018). Apart from the new name and chipset and support for 8th generation processors, this new platform has no other special features.
These new processors are the first 6-core products in this category. The main reason for using the new platform is the higher power consumption of 6-core processors. For this reason, the size and number of pin sockets are similar to the previous platform, but the processors are not compatible with each other. In the table below, you can see the full specifications of the 8th generation desktop processors:

Future Intel Update Options
Those of you who If you’re disappointed with Intel’s update, you won’t have to wait long for the company’s next update. A representative of Eurocom (in the forum NotebookReview.com) revealed that Intel’s Z390 platform will hit the market in the second half of 2018. The release dates of the two platforms are so close that Eurocom has given up on launching a new production line for Z370 chipsets and will wait for Z390 chipsets.

- Intel: 8th generation processors, 30 percent They are faster than the seventh generation
Also, Eurocom Company has announced the offering of 8-core processors for the Z390 chipset. These processors will have 8 cores with 16 threads (like the 8th generation which has 6 cores and 12 threads). Note that you need to change the motherboard to use these 8-core processors; But it is not yet known whether the new chipsets will use the same sockets as the previous generation (LGA 1151). Intel used to use its 6-core and 8-core processors in high-end platforms (HEDT). But with the release of processors with 8 cores and 16 Ryzen threads by AMD, Intel is trying Adding more cores to lower-end platforms.
Intel’s 8-core, 16-thread processors are expected to be part of the Icelake family, using 10nm+ manufacturing technology. They take. AMD is also not idle and is trying to present a new generation of Ryzen processors in 2018. But unlike the users of Intel processors, AMD enthusiasts can use the same AM4 motherboards to use the new AMD processors. Unlike Ryzen processors that use 14nm manufacturing technology, Ryzen 2 processors will use 7nm manufacturing technology.
