Intel’s Coffee Lake-S Engineering Samples Spotted On SiSoft Sandra Database – 6 Core / 12 Thread Processors With 3.5 GHz Base Clock / 4.2 GHz+ Turbo

For some reason I thought this one would have a new architecture. Maybe Sandra isn't detecting it correctly.

The entry reads Genuine Intel CPU 000, is part of the KabyLake family and has 6 Cores/12 Threads. The processor is clocked at 3.5 GHz, which is a decent base clock for a hexa-core part and 94.97 GFLOPs on the SiSoft Sandra benchmark (not that this is a very good indicator of real-life performance). The processor has 256 KB of L2 per core and 9 MB of shared L3 cache. There is also a variant that supports 12 MB of L3 cache. Both are engineering samples and feature a turbo clock upwards of 4.2 GHz. The IMC is clocked at 2.7 GHz which means you are looking at DDR4 2700 MHz. You can expect all clocks on the final version to be at least this high, if not a few hundred MHz more.

The Coffee Lake-S series will have two variants, a 4+2 (quad core + GT2 graphics) and 6+2 (hexa core + GT2 graphics). The 4+2 variant will have a die size of 126mm2 while the 6+2 variant will have a die size of 149mm2 which is same as the Coffee Lake-X variants.
