Intel coffee lake, first benchmark test leaked

More than anyone expects the next generation of Intel Coffee Lake processors, a more advanced variant than current Kaby Lake processors using the same 14nm manufacturing process. For the first time, a performance test of a Coffee Lake processor, courtesy of MSI, has been leaked.

First Coffee Lake Performance Test

The Intel Coffee Lake processor is part of the Core i7 family and will feature up to 6 cores. The database lists the processor as a physical six-core model with 12 threads of execution. This brand new processor has 1.5 MB of L2 cache and 12 MB of L3 cache. The chip is listed at a clock rate of 3.19 GHz, and while we know this is from an engineering sample, there is no way to tell if the processor has Turbo speeds enabled or not.

During the Coffee Lake processor performance tests, we see that in single-core performance it gets about 4619 points and in multi-thread performance about 20828 points in Geekbench. Here it must be taken into account that the processor is an engineering sample and that it works at low frequencies of 3.19GHz, as we discussed before, we do not know exactly if the frequency is enabled in Turbo during the tests.

Performance comparison between Coffee Lake and Ryzen 5 1600X

Compared to the AMD Ryzen 5 1600X running at 3.6GHz, we see that the AMD variant scores 4574 points in single-core and 20769 points in multi-thread performance.

The Ryzen 5 would start with a 400MHz advantage and even so the score is equal, so good performance is predicted for this new generation of Intel processors, which should arrive later this year.

We will be attentive to what is emerging from these new Intel CPUs, stay tuned.
