i9? Where are the 8 cores? Three architectures in one generation with no way simple way of distinguishing? Is 10nm coming this decade? Oh but you’ve added a single useless feature to optane. The market will bring retribution for incompetence soon.
"Three architectures in one generation with no way simple way of distinguishing? "
the thing about maths, and a processor is just maths made manifest, is eventually you find the "best" topology. you've been walking toward a wall, half the distance at a step. in time you get close enough that you can't tell the difference. after that, it's just an engineering exercise in silicon/whatever. it's more than likely that the wall has been contacted. but none of the chip companies want us to know it.
Actually all Intel chip have been protected with micro-code updates. Future generations will have hardware specific updates - however I glad to see Dell DPS 2in1 does not use the As media chips

Any mention or update on the Intel Z390 chipset?jaydee - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
Any Coffee Lake mainstream mobile (15W TDP) CPUs, or are they skipping it for Cannon Lake?t99 - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
Do these chips all fix spectre and meltdown? Suprising there were was no reference anywhere in article.ericgl21 - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
Interesting.Not a single word on whether the new 8th gen CPUs have the new design to protect them against Meltdown & Spectre vulnerabilities.

That will not be until Icelake, possibly Cannon lake. There won't be a silicon fix for Coffee Lake.How Intel keeps selling these vulnerable chips at full price, I don't know.

Is there an error in the table on page 3 where the L3 cache for the i5s are listed with 1.5MB/core?
