Intel pentium gold 'coffee lake' processors are starting to sell

Even though Intel is putting the finishing touches on its new eighth-generation chips, retailers have begun sourcing and secretly selling some of these chips. Last week, we brought you the story of Newegg by starting to sell the new Core i5 and Celeron 49xx series models, namely the Core i5-8600 (non-K), i5-8500, Celeron 4920 and Celeron 4900. Now we are seeing the arrival of the new Core i3-8300 and three models of Pentium Gold.

Minitorists are already starting to sell the new generation of Pentium Gold CPUs alongside other Coffee Lake processors

Some retailers don't want to wait for an official launch and are already offering these new chips, which are coming to renew the entire seventh generation Kaby Lake.

The Core i3-8300, like the i3-8350K, is a quad-core chip that lacks HyperThreading, but unlike the current entry-level i3-8100, it has an 8MB L3 cache. As expected, the multiplier is locked on this 'non-K' model, unlike the i3-8350K.

The base frequency is 3.70 GHz and lacks Turbo Boost, this decision seems quite disappointing because it is known that Intel Core processors can easily exceed 4GHz if it had been put Turbo Boost.

This CPU model is selling at $ 134 per pack, so we expect its retail boxed unit price to be $ 140 or $ 145. The Pentium Gold family consists of 2-core, 4-wire chips backed by 4MB of L3 cache. At the head of the group is the Pentium Gold G5600 that operates with a frequency of 3.90 GHz, followed by the G5500 @ 3.80 GHz, and the G5400 @ 3.70 GHz. All three models are priced at $ 80 and $ 99.
