he generally reliable website BenchLife.info just posted new information about Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) upcoming desktop processors, code-named Coffee Lake-S, as well as their related chipsets, marketed as the 300-series.

According to the report, Intel plans to launch the new Coffee Lake chips in the fourth quarter of this year, potentially representing a pull-in relative to what previous leaks had indicated (i.e., the first quarter of 2018).

The new chips will be paired with new platform controller hubs, marketed as the 300-series, which the BenchLife.info leak shows will include enhanced functionality and integration compared with the current 200-series chipsets.

Let's take a closer look at what to expect from this new gear.
More processor cores, enhanced manufacturing tech

The Coffee Lake chips are expected to retain the same basic processor and graphics architectures as the current-generation Kaby Lake (i.e., seventh-generation Core) processor family.

One of the main differences, according to both leaks as well as Intel disclosures, will be additional processor cores -- up to six for the Coffee Lake desktop chips, a boost from up to four for the Kaby Lake chips. There will also be an enhanced 14nm++ manufacturing technology. Kaby Lake is manufactured using Intel's existing 14nm+ technology.
