INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
While it may seem as if we just got through a major Intel processor refresh (because we did), the latest rumors out of WccfTech suggest that
time, supporting a previous rumor of the 8-core Coffee Lake chip due in September
that there is no Core i3 option listed
As the outlet points out, this could either be Intel phasing out the product from its Core line of processors, or that it will release at a
later date than these chips
The second thing you may notice is that the Core i5 option has no hyperthreading.Finally, there is no quad-core part listed here, for the
first time in an Intel processor lineup
continue to claim that the Z390 chipset is not that far advanced beyond the existing Z370 chipset that launched late last year to support
the first Coffee Lake desktop processors
However, they will bring features introduced to the latest H-series entry-level platform earlier this year.Those features include Intel
802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, a native Intel Wi-Fi adapter and support for up to six USB 3.1 (Gen 2) ports
Currently, motherboard makers must source those arguably crucial features from third-party suppliers to include them on Z370 motherboards.If
be uncovered.Simply put, Intel would be throwing away money if it neglected to find some application for quad-core processing
At any rate, all of this should be considered rumor (albeit from an outlet with a strong track record) until word is heard from Intel itself
