The latest Intel Coffee Lake processors have been launched and everyone is asking the same question. What’s new? Well, people over there at Intel took it to themselves to elaborate what will be offered in the new Coffee Lake 8th generation processors.

New Intel Coffee Lake lineup consists of four chips. Intel claims they’re faster and better performing, hence, they will be priced at a slightly higher cost than their usual processors. Here are some of the most prominent features that Intel themselves mentioned:

The chips will contain up to four cores, 8 threads. Intel Coffee Lake lineup will be featured with Intel Iris Plus Graphics. Moreover, it will have New Mobile Intel 300 Series chipset With Enhanced Audio and I/ONew Integrated Intel Wireless-AC With Gigabit Throughput, New High Speed Integrated USB 3.1 Gen2 (10 Gb/s), First Intel Optane Memory Laptop Solution and More On-Package eDRAM (128 MB).
