Leaked Pictures of Intel 40th Anniversary Chip – Core i7-8086K

This is interesting … a special 20th Anniversary chip from Intel – Core i7-8086K. Is this fake news? We shall soon see …

Intel recently celebrated 20 years of the Pentium brand that made the company a household name, with a special Pentium 20th Anniversary Edition G3258 SKU. If rumors are to be believed, the company could do something similar with the upcoming 40th anniversary of its 8086 processor, the distant ancestor of today’s x86 architecture. Some sources even suggest that the company could take advantage of its 8th generation Core product cycle to launch a “Core i7-8086K” SKU. 

 

Pictures surfaced on social media of the said “i7-8086K” SKU in the flesh, complete with a part number “SR3QQ.” Based on the same 14 nm “Coffee Lake” silicon as the i7-8700K, this chip has a nominal clock speed of 4.00 GHz, a maximum Turbo Boost frequency above 5.00 GHz, an unlocked multiplier, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. Intel could choose June 8th (around the 2018 Computex and the actual anniversary of 8086), to launch the new SKU.
