Intel 8-core LGA1151 Processor will be 14 nm "Coffee Lake" Based
The 8-core processor Intel is planning to launch in the second half of 2018 will be based on the current 14 nanometer "Coffee Lake" micro-architecture, according to leaked XTU errata log. A curious looking change-log entry reads "[CFL] Added support for 8,2 core," where "CFL" is the three-letter contraction of "Coffee Lake," just as "KBL" stands for "Kaby Lake" and "HSW" for "Haswell."
This hints at the two directions in which Intel is expanding its 8th generation mainstream desktop lineup. On the upper-end of the spectrum, one can expect the augmentation of 8-core/16-thread parts, while at the lower end, one can expect dual-core parts, likely branded under the Pentium and Celeron brands. Intel's MSDT lineup will be led by 6-core parts under the Core i5 and Core i7 extensions, and quad-core parts under the Core i3 extension; with 6-core/12-thread Core i7 SKUs leading the pack till the second-half of 2018.

We already have WCCFTech for such things.
Thanks.
And process-wise, instead of 14nm process, Skylake-SP (along with Skylake-X) are built on 14+nm, same as kaby lake.

So they are building it with the "newest" tech they have
EDIT : quoted the wrong thing. Sorry, it is the next post I was referring to.
I once figured the state we're in was due to the dotcom bust and/or the recent recession. That the market will get back to what it was before. But I guess things just get more boring over time.
2 more cores adds only 20 mm.sq more space. makes sense to up the game to topple zen.
Exciting times, I hope Intel really suffers for a little while longer, amd gets some cash and then we can have the good old wars again where we get new cpu's and what not :D
FAKE NEWS!
It's not only Boeing and Airbus - that's what you hear in the media the most, Embraer, Bombardier, ATR, BAE, Mitsubishi is entering and let's not forget all the Russian manufacturers.
