Intel is currently launching four Kaby Refresh CPUs under the 8th generation banner. SemiAccurate believes that doubling the basic accounts is a good thing, but the rest is, well, a gentle refreshment.
There are four new SKUs that make up the 8th generation Intel Core CPUs that will eventually include three distinctly different processor families. This would be the parts of Kaby Refresh, the next 14nm Coffee Lake processors and the 10nm lagging late line Cannon Lake. According to what HalfAccurate learned today, do not expect SemiAccurate to ship additional quantities. Intel seems to learn a few marketing tricks from GPU manufacturers and this is not a good thing. So what are the four CPUs that are launching today?
The most impressive version of the new CPU is the base number, up to two to four on all models. The most comparable CPUs in Kaby Lake are updated by subtracting 990 from the model number, i7-7660U for example. This is the basis of Intel's demand for a productivity increase of 40% with the very large reserve to do so in the same power envelope. We were a bit skeptical of this statement a few days ago, but the caveat makes us less. That said, the size of the matrix should hit the margins of Intel as we said.
Intel claims that these CPUs get ~ 25% of their "architecture" wins aka + 2C, ~ 10% manufacturing, and ~ 5% design although we can not do much light on it. In any case, Intel is currently reaping the kernel and adding more, the oldest tower of the GPU book and also works with other warnings, all good for Intel.
It would be that the basic clocks fall radically, exactly 600MHz for each of the four new models of their closest counterparts to the 7th generation. It is expected that, of course, this is the point of the new chips. In addition, as expected, turbo-1C clocks increase by 200 MHz compared to models comparable to -990, which is probably due to progress in the process. Better yet, the 2C turbo corresponds to the turbo-clock 1C, something we have not seen Intel for a long time, and the i5s, the turbo 4C is the same. For some reason, the i7-8650U has a turbo 4C superior of 3.9GHz and 8550U to 3.7GHz for 4C, not serious for the processor TW 15W.
On the graphic front, the four GT2 models mean 1 shader cluster without disabling anything. GPU clocks also increase a bit, not the basic 300 MHz clock for all models, but the top turbo, 1150 MHz for i7 and 1100 MHz for i5. This represents a 100-150MHz bump on the 7th Gen part, and again, it's probably attributable to more process technology than anything else. No word if they have fixed the disabling 3D rendering defaults, but if we ever put our hands on one, we will give it a test. All these GPUs are still Gen9, so they are probably quite comparable to Kaby and Sandy in every way.
Intel has a host of new "technologies" designed to secure user content, but it can provide 4K content from a few services. As this only concerns Windows, we do not think it is relevant to many and will probably be forgotten as the last 12 versions of their proprietary media technologies. Similarly, they have a "technology" security called Online Connected. As their previous efforts, it requires Windows so that they require an insurmountable operating system in order to add some security to the users. Just say no.
In the end, what do we have with the 8 Gen Intel processors? Two other cores, some bug fixes and a little more turbo release in the same TDP. If you are looking for big changes, you will be a little disappointed, but 25% + processor performance in the same TDP is a good deal, especially if prices do not rise dramatically.

Four new four cores for you
