Intel rolls out 8th-gen Coffee Lake chips in second half of 2017
Intel is all set to release its eighth-generation Core CPUs, codenamed Coffee Lake, in the second half of 2017. The company confirmed at its Investor Day event last week that Coffee Lake will be based on a 14nm process like its predecessors Kaby Lake, Skylake, and Broadwell.
The 8th-gen chip marks Intel’s adoption of a new approach after its departure from a tick-tock strategy. Under the strategy, each tick was a die shrink and every tock was a fresh micro-architecture.
