Intel Corp.'s 2018 Processor Plans Revealed
On Oct. 5, microprocessor giant Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) released the first processors based on its new Coffee Lake architecture. These chips, targeted at the desktop personal computer market, feature up to six cores -- a 50% increase from what the prior-generation Kaby Lake processors supported -- and are built on what Intel refers to as its 14nm++, its third-generation 14-nanometer technology.
However, as is typical for Intel product launches, it's not launching Coffee Lake-based products across its product stack at first. The desktop parts arrived first -- likely because this is the segment where Intel faces the most competitive pressure -- with other parts reportedly coming later.
