Spotted originally at Anandtech Forums and later further detailed over at Videocardz.com, it is now clear that Intel will push for the higher core count with its upcoming 8th generation Coffe Lake CPUs. Unlike the Core i5 lineup, which will supposedly consist of quad- and six-core CPUs, with and without hyper-threading, the Core i3 lineup will be quad-core SKUs without enabled hyper-threading.

We've already had a chance to see some information regarding the Core i3-8300 and it appears that the Core i3-8350K will be quite similar, featuring 8MB of L3 cache and 4.0GHz clock speed. Unlike the Core i3-8300, the Core i3-8350K will have a somewhat higher 91W TDP and be unlocked.

The Core i3-8100, could be the cheapest Core i3 SKU and work at 3.6GHz, have 6MB of L3 cache and the same 65W TDP, as the Core i3-8300.

As announced by Intel earlier, the company will unveil its 8th generation Core Coffee Lake CPUs on the 21st of August so we will have a chance to check out full details for this 14nm Kaby Lake refresh.
