Intel Core i3-8300 Detailed - First Quad-Core i3
Intel Core i3-8300 could be the company's first quad-core processor to bear the Core i3 badge. Based on the 14 nm "Coffee Lake-S" silicon, This SKU could be priced in the upper-band of the Core i3 lineup (around the USD $150 mark), offering four cores. As if that isn't surprising enough, this quad-core chip even reportedly features HyperThreading, enabling 8 logical CPUs for the OS to deal with.
For the first time, a Core i3 part will have more logical CPUs than a Core i5 part, which lacks HyperThreading. Such a feature disparity won't be new, as current Core i3 dual-core SKUs feature HyperThreading, which Core i5 quad-core parts lack. The i3-8300, however, will lack Turbo Boost, which Core i5 SKUs will feature. The chip reportedly features a clock speed of 4.00 GHz. The L3 cache amount and TDP of this chip remain unknown at this point. Intel could launch Core i3 "Coffee Lake" processors only by late-2017 or early-2018.

i12 - 16c/32t :D:rockout:
Laptop i7 will be 4c/8t.... at lower clocks :p
A 6c/6t CPU WILL outperform a 4c/8t at the same clock , there is no question about it.
The performance gains from SMT diminishes with higher core count , more physical threads are NOT a substitute for execution resources. The biggest gap from HT on and off comes at low core counts. This is why simple dual cores are essentially useless nowadays while i3s fair much better. These new i5s will probably outperform even a 5Ghz 7700K in multi-threading.
On the matter of these supposedly new i3s , I am doubtful. Intel has been very resentful from offering higher core counts. However it wouldn't entirely surprise me , their platforms keep getting more and more convoluted with each passing day.
What seems plausible is that there will be say a 8100 which is a simple quad core at the typical price and this 8300 with 8 threads is going to come at some ridiculous price close to the lowest end i5 just like the 7350K was.
When Core I5/I7 are 6 cores now, when you allready knew Core I3 would be 4 cores :)
Intel could have done this ages ago, but had no reason.
The 2c/4t setup was already extremely powerful and underestimated, a 4.0 4c/8t in the $150 price range is ludicrous!
So according to intel's logic new i3 should also be usd 310 ish ?
To me it still could be a quad-thread per core idea :slap:
With the same price as the old one at 1st released
G4400 (2C 2T) > G4560 (2C 4T)
G4400 +- $7x 1st released
G4560 +- $7x 1st released (G4400 and Ci3 Killer)
thats why intel stopped the G4560 for a while
to clear all off old stock before the new one is coming
because if this new type has entered the market with the same pricing scheme,
Who wants to buy the old type???
Actually intel can do this on their previous product, but they not create it because there is no reason to make it..
So they put a lot of cores only on Xeon at that time
but game is change, so big thanks to red team
