An i7 8086k appears, recalling 40 years of the intel 8086 cpu
Table of contents:
Baidu has released a few images that reveal a new Intel Core i7 8086K CPU, designed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Intel 8086 processor, the first x86 chip. They're probably bogus, but it would be the nicest way for Intel to celebrate its role in the history of microprocessors.
i7 8086K appears a CPU-Z capture
The information, released by HW Battle, claims that this celebration chip will launch on June 8, 2018, 40 years after the date the first x86 CPU was released. The images tell us that the i7 8086K will be a six-core Intel Coffee Lake CPU, capable of reaching maximum 5GHz in single-core Turbo, and with a base clock speed of 4.6GHz.
The images appear to be legitimate, with a couple of shared CPU-Z captures showing the clock speeds, the cache, and the number of cores from the alleged engineering sample. The numbers also seem mostly legitimate… although it's pretty easy to fake the CPU-Z photos, so you need to take this information with tweezers.
Anyone from #Intel, please pitch this SKU to management! ?
Launch Date: June 8, 2018
SKU: "Intel Core i7-8086K 40th Anniversary Edition"
Specs: 8th Gen (CFL), 6C / 12T, 5 GHz Turbo, unlocked.

Considering the mythical Intel 8086 processor as the 'Adam and Eve' of all our current CPUs, it certainly deserves some recognition. With 29, 000 transistors and a maximum clock speed of 5 - 10MHz it was an advanced processor for the time.
Indeed, WikiChip's David Schor has been pleading with Intel to introduce a processor with the exact nomenclature in Baidu's posts since January.
