Greetings, therefore hello!

The changes are done at least to the flagships units in each class of the 8th gen. Core processors as of the day this thread.

I just went thru Intel's database and these are the highlights:

1- i3's core count descends to four (4) while Turbo Boost is still lacking and Hyper Threading support is removed.

2- i5's high-end units get a core count of six (6) cores with the same lack of Hyper Threading while the lower-end units stay with four (4) cores but acquire Hyper Threading to get eight (8) threads.

3- i7's high-end units get a core count of six (6) cores keeping Hyper Threading support to have twelve (12) threads while the lower-end units stay with four (4) cores with Hyper Threading.

Word!
 
i3 used to be two cores so the i3 ascends to 4 cores, not descends.

Free English lesson from Celery. :D
 
I've been here longer and have more posts than you so what's the rank got to do with it? :rolleyes:
