Intel 8th generation and 9th generation CPU list leaked, includes Core i9 mobile processor
TechSpot is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust.
Intel introduced the first of its 8th generation Core CPU family in August with the launch of the Kaby Lake Refresh notebook processors, and followed this up with the long-awaited Coffee Lake desktop chips in October. Now, the rest of the eighth-gen chips’ details have leaked, along with information on the 9th generation of desktop and mobile CPUs.
Aida64, a popular system information, diagnostics, and auditing app, has included a number of unannounced Intel processors in its latest Beta. The SKU names were defined by Intel and are expected to launch in early 2018.
The release notes identify a host of upcoming mobile and desktop Core i3, i5, and i7 CPUs, along with a Core i9-8950HK, which will be the first Coffee Lake i9 CPU—and it’s for laptops. This overclockable flagship is part of the Coffee Lake-H MB (mobile) family, and previous Geekbench leaks suggest this model is of the 6 Core/12 Thread variety. Current Coffee Lake desktop chips with that same number of cores/threads fall under the i7 brand, but seeing as the i9-8950HK is part of the high-end Coffee Lake laptop series it gets the i9 designation.
We also see other 8th generation mobile processors on the list, which are expected to be based on Coffee Lake-H, rather than Kaby Lake Refresh, and follow the same core counts as its namesake desktop family: Core i3 will be quad-core, Core i5 will be six-core, and Core i7 parts will be six-core with hyperthreading.
As reported back in October, the new naming system for Pentium CPUs is confirmed. Pentium Gold processors use the Core microarchitecture, while Pentium Silver is made up of Atom parts. We also see a number of Coffee Lake-S processors, only six of which have already been launched. Interestingly, it includes a Core i5-8650K.
Finally, there are the 9th generation processors. Right now, there’s very little known about this generation, but Intel did say this successor to the 8th gen family would utilize 10nm+ process technology. Anandtech speculates that those 9000 series CPUs could be part of a Coffee Lake Refresh, or it could be Ice Lake. If you were wondering where the 10-nanometer Cannon Lake fits into all this, it’s suspected that the architecture will be focused on smaller, mobile CPUs that are easier to make when chip yields are poor.

You might see some SKU’s above appear to be mentioned twice.
That’s because of the differentiation between boxed and tray chips. Boxed chips are aimed at the DIY market and (almost always) come with a CPU cooler included, whereas the tray chips come without any fancy packaging or cooler and are aimed at OEMs buying in bulk.
Next to the CPU discontinuances, Intel also discontinued a range of Compute Sticks and NUCs with 8th-Gen chips inside.
The changes don’t come as a surprise. By now, the 9th-Gen chips have long-replaced the 8th-Gen parts, and the latest 10th-Generation Comet Lake-S chips are now slowly entering the market.
Nevertheless, you can still expect to spot the discontinued chips on retailers shelves, e-tailers websites and eBay for quite some time. The discontinuation comprises no longer shipping the products into distribution, and any remaining inventory would naturally still need to be cleared out. Who knows, you could find yourself an 8700K for a nice price in the next few weeks, though that might be asking for a bit much with the current hardware shortages.

gen 8 and 9 (for 2018)
The full list of Intel 2018 processor models is now available (in addition to previously announced 6 Coffee Lake desktop models and 4 Kaby Lake Refresh models).
The data has been collected from a number of unofficial sources, so all the information presented below is summarized from existing data and historical traditions. This is the expected correspondence of the number of cores of mobile and desktop versions, the correspondence of the consumption level to one or another class of processors, the expected price gradation, and more. The exact data is only for those processors that have already been released and they are marked with an asterisk in the tables.
It should be noted that now everything is mixed up with Intel — the generation number in the model name no longer corresponds to a specific architecture. So, in Intel Core 8xxx processors, you can find processors on the architecture of Kaby Lake Refresh and Coffee Lake. Among other innovations, we recall the appearance of Core i9, Pentium Gold (Core) and Pentium Silver (Atom) products. Celeron models are divided into Celeron G (Core) and Celeron N/J (Atom).
Confirmed information includes the fact that the i7-H and i7-HK mobile models will be on the Coffee Lake-H architecture, and not on Kaby Lake Refresh.
They will be 45W, and the number of cores (and support for Hyper-Threading) will match the desktop counterparts. Thus, by the way, the release of a mobile processor in the Core i9 line promises to be a landmark moment.with overclocking support. The list of expected models can be found in the table above. Below we will present the lists of future (excluding marked) desktop processors.
In total, the company is expected to release 46 desktop models of processors based on the Coffee Lake architecture. For comparison, there were 28 desktop models in the Kaby Lake generation, 30 models in the Skylake generation, two in Broadwell and 80 on the Haswell architecture. The number of Coffee Lake models, as we can see, will be second only to the number of processors on the debugged 22-nm process technology. The debugged 14-nm process technology (for Coffee Lake it is 14 ++) makes it possible for Intel to turn around as much as possible (or slow down a little?).
