Alleged Intel Core i7-8086K 40th Anniversary Processor Leaked and Benchmarked – 6c/12t , 5.1 ghz !

An alleged Intel processor which goes by the name of Core i7-8086K has just popped up and been tested by a member of a Chinese forum. The sample which is named after the Intel 8086 microprocessor is said to mark the 40th anniversary of Intel’s iconic CPU and would be a really fast design from the looks of it.

Alleged Intel Core i7-8086K CPU Shows Up – Named after Intel’s 8086 CPU, 40th Anniversary SKU Incoming?
First of all, this wouldn’t be the first time Intel is doing an anniversary edition SKU. They have done so with the Pentium G3258 which marked the 20th anniversary of the Pentium processors. Today, we are looking at what might become another anniversary edition SKU, this time marking 40 years since the iconic Intel 8086 microprocessor.

Alright so moving on to the specifications, the Core i7-8086K has similar core configuration as the Core i7-8700K. It features 6 cores, 12 threads and 12 MB of L3 cache. The TDP is maintained at 95 Watts which is the same as the Core i7-8700K. The clock speeds are currently the fastest for an Intel 6 core processor. We are looking at a base clock of 4.00 GHz which boosts all the way up to 5.1 GHz. The 5.1 GHz boost clock is single-core and all core boost is rated at 4.4 GHz but mostly stable at 4.3 GHz unless provided proper cooling.

Intel Core i7-8086K 40th Anniversary Edition Specs:
CPU Name Intel Core i7-8700K Intel Core i7-8086K



Intel Core i7-8086K CPU-Z Info:


The temperatures show that under a Cooler Master T400i air cooler, the chip performs around 70C but when all cores are overclocked to 5.0 GHz, the temperature instantly spikes above 95C and almost ends up near the 100C wall. So you’d have to provide some beefy cooling to keep this thing cooled. However, if cooling is there, overclocking on the chip is a breeze and said sample can do 5.1 GHz with literally no effort.

Intel Core i7-8086K BIOS:

 

Will these basically be the best of the i7 8700k chips being produced and sold at a premium? Does that mean these are essentially "factory overclocked" golden silicon chips? Or do you think they will still have some wiggle room for enthusiast overclockers to push them higher?

 

probably a mix of both: highly binned 8700K chips with some wiggle room left for additional OC knowing intel, they will make sure to leave enough headroom for stability purposes.

@BeastsForever.TheDragon - any chance the original article was posted April 1st?

 

Ugh, no.

13 april was when it went online....

LOL! Sure seems a likely candidate for that kind of prank.

Forget the "K series" CPUs. I myself will be looking for the i7-8086 DX or i7-8086 DX2 edition ( snicker, snicker ). For those too young to remember, an Internet search will hopefully help.

 

Anyone else wonder if this is an attempted dump on AMD's imminent Zen 2 release?

http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...updates-p751dm2-g.814350/page-8#post-10713034

 

All signs point to this being real then. A binned 8700K, which hopefully has even further overclocking headroom into the 5Ghz range.

 

To complete the prank, why not going for i7-8086 SX? A great performer but no FPU!

 

What would have been better, and actually more useful, would be to include an actual 8086 CPU in a display "cube" or case for showing on my desk or shelve's, and a plaque - maybe with an 8086 die encased behind protective transparent covering.

IDK what the box will have in it, but I do know that the pretty commemorative CPU etching will be loving covered by TIM and then drilled down by a huge cooling solution, well out of view and display.

Having actually run 8086's in in house products, and programmed in 8086 macro assembler device drivers, and eventually a whole "Inventory" program for an electronics manufacturer labeling their parts bin inventory, I gotta say I'd rather have Intel bring out an actual 8086 CPU product and Skull Trail type computer that I could play with.

Buying a broken (S&M) 8700K isn't my way of celebrating the glorious history of the 8086.

 

A broken 8700K?

 

"Buying a broken (S&M) 8700K isn't my way of celebrating the glorious history of the 8086. "

Yeah, Intel's current broken architecture vulnerable to side-channel attacks.

Broken. As in not 100% a good representation of the glory of the original 8086.

I'd rather Intel wait until next year to honor the memory of the 8086 with a new architecture CPU, one that isn't broken.

 

You mean the side channel attacks that have been 100% fixed? Stating something is broken because a vulnerability was found is not accurate. Bugs, issues, and what not are continually found and mitigated or fixed in every commercial industry. Computers, cars, planes, whatever.

 

In the same way as AMD pushed out their brand the new Cpu architecture (Ryzen chips) with known safety bugs and issues. Nothing new there. And more will come from both cpu manufacturers.

 

If I didn't own a 8700K. This would be really cool.

 

Why?

It's just an 8700K renamed with some fancy printing...

Much more fun would be to get a real 8086 computer, hard to get new these days in a form that would be more than a trainer, but if you like Arduino style CPU boards, this one looks fun:

8OD – ARDUINO FORM FACTOR INTEL 8086
"Blessed with a bit of spare time recently, I completed my most zany ever contraption: A Non-Arduino powered by the giant of computing history – Intel’s 8086 processor."
http://tech.mattmillman.com/projects/8od/

Spoiler: Why?

Why?
Back in the day, if you wanted to play with this stuff, you were likely reaching for a beast resembling the SDK-86. Code ran from EPROMs, was debugged by logic analyser and closest thing to stackexchange was a stack of technical manuals. These days, stuff like this is becoming increasingly rare, but to many, still interesting.

I’ve always thought it’d be cool to build a single board computer in the old style, specifically, one with a traditional local bus.

It’s a shame (but understandable) that these days, it’s tough to find a small microcontroller with an honest local bus. Many have one, but almost none actually need it. Just prior to this project, I built a board based on an 8031. It was cool, but not cool enough. The 8031 still is a very integrated device and doesn’t really need its bus for anything other than the ROM.

Hungry for more (and out of work at the time) – at the start of July 2014, I kicked off a second project: 8OD. Based on the Intel 8086. It quickly became apparent that this project was going to be on another scale. The resulting board is definitely guilty of looking very complicated, but really, it’s pretty basic. It’s just got most of the stuff which is normally jammed inside an SoC as real circuitry.

Too bad he decided not to sell it, or kits for it, maybe someone will pick it up from him and make a few runs. He does say to contact him if you are interested in getting a circuit board made. Could be a fun DIY project.

Or dig up the materials to make this one:

https://archive.org/stream/byte-magazine-1982-11/1982_11_BYTE_07-11_Graphics#page/n79/mode/2up

Likely there are more modern 8086 Computer's / Kit's out there that would be a great project to build and program.

If not one of the new ones, you could find an old IBM PC for a restore project, those had 8088's or 80286's, but there were 8086 models like the IBM PS2 model 30 8086:

IBM PS/2 Model 30 8086 Disassembly / Take Apart


Or maybe a handheld 8086 (NEC V30), I had a couple of these back then as portable terminals:

The Poqet PC - The Obsolete Geek


Or, these are hard to find, but maybe you can find one:

Classic PC: Atari Portfolio


Then there are the mainstay of 8086 computers back then, the S-100 computers.

Or, get an 8086 emulator:

Plenty of "real" 8086 computers to play with.

 

i7 8086K exists, for realz.

https://www.connection.com/product/intel-boxed-intel-core-i7-8086k/bx80684i78086k/35684879

http://www.directdial.com/BX80684I78086K.html -- 5.0Ghz boost listed!

https://videocardz.com/76305/intel-core-i7-8086k-anniversary-edition-cpu-listed-by-retailers

http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/in...ary-edition-cpu-gets-listed-at-retailers.html

Apparently highly binned, 5.0Ghz boost out of the box. If this thing overclocked to 5.4Ghz or comes with a soldered heatsink I could see it being something special.

 

https://pcgamesn.com/intel-i7-8086k-release-date-performance

 

one core boost only all core boost is identical to 8700k, so i doubt they even bin any 8700k for that probably just rebadged

 

Nice catch. Ya one core isn’t much. They should have at least upped the all core boost a bit as well. I suppose that would drive up TDP beyond their comfort though.

 

They increased base clock without the need for higher TDP (They need to be within specs for 300 series) vs. Ryzen who needed 105w TDP for upping the base clock.

 

That's cuz Ryzen+ upped the all-core clocks, whereas 8086K did not.

 

TDP is tied to base clock frequency. Intel could of course raise 6 - core boost. As well 2 - core boost. Or all without 1- core boost. But nope.

 

Intel has nothing about the i7-8086k on their official corporate sites, in those countries or the US, so... not officially "realz" yet.

 

I mean ya sure it hasn't been listed on their website yet, but I highly doubt these retailers which are typically leak the manufacturer product # well ahead of launch just decided to create a BX number out of thin air for the hell of it. With Computex coming next week, and the anniversary date of June 8, I think we will see it announced or released sooner rather than later.

 

That being said, it should 5GHz on all cores with MCE.

 

oh gawd, i havent even thought about that yet lets hope the mainboard manufacturer will NOT repeat this crap, especially when were talking about SEVEN multipliers difference between 1 and all-core boost as opposed to the 8700K where the difference was "just" 4 multis (4.3 all core vs. 4.7 one core)

reviewers be like: ZOMG! 8086K all core boost 5 JIGGAHERTZ!
users/buyers be like: ZOMG! 8086K 99C+ and 250W!

 

You'd only see that kind of draw in Prime95 Small FFTs with no AVX offset.

 

...or video transcoding with AVX

 

Is there a video transcoder as stressful as Small FFTs?

 

well actually, i get similar temps when transcoding video streams with XMedia Recode as when running prime95 1344K with avx

 

Ah OK. Yeah 1344K is much less crazy than Small FFTs.

 

https://www.pgrepublic.com/intel-i7-8086k-processor-for-40th-anniversary-leaked/

They reporting 51x single core speed. @Papusan maybe the speeds have changed since what was leaked earlier in that laptop?

Edit read further, seems 4.4Ghz all core. So 100mhz all core boost. Meh. Again these will be cherry picked samples for sure so great for those that don't already own a top tier 8700K sample.

 

curious to see what kinda bins SL will be posting for purchase

Why do user always have to be the product if something appears to be free?

 

2nd sentence doesn't parse... at least for me... do you mean "you" instead of "user"? Still doesn't work...

Looking for "Free" isn't always bad. Free creates a low barrier to entry for desires that not everyone can afford.

Many Dreams are built on Free. It's a good place to start.

Hard Work is a good replacement for Free, being as that is the key to making your object's of desire appear into your reality, which is a mystery to many.

 

Except what is AMD going to do about this?

Intel just won the MOAR COREZ battle.
Tell Lisa Su to get cooking. Or I'm just going to buy that. And spend more money in COOLING IT than on the CPU itself.

How much is this thing going to cost? More than a new car?

 

Looking for free isn't the point here, it's that the user pays for it by once again himself becoming the product that is sold here. Or as the old saying goes:

If it's free then you are the product!

This is going to be an interesting year.

 

dude, tell me about it.... sweaty hands and heart racing while reading computex news!

32 core TR2
28 core intel HEDT at 5 ghz
Nvidia nextgen GPUs end of July
32 GB sodimm modules with samsung chips (say hello to 128 gigs in a laptop LOL @Phoenix)
nextgen Noctua D-type CPU air cooler (finally improving on the legendary NH-D15)

good times....

now please go ahead and donate at least 10k so i can build a proper system this year

 

Put it the other way... Azor and his dear Alienware is saved or better say rescued for the second time in a row. You remember 2 ram slots in 17,3 inches chassis? He should really send a large a cargo of flowers to Samsung engineers Last time was 16GB the max you could have in Alienware's Dell's Gamingbook flagship. Dell said there ain't a need for more.

 

so lemme guess: no need for 2 slots anymore! one slot is sufficient! and why bother with ONE slot? just solder the damn thing to make the laptop THINNERRRR! :d

Almost as I can hear the wild cheers in AW's HQ

 

Ahh, glad you posted the details, now that makes sense.

For interviews I'll be sure to include my feelings about the current architecture vulnerabilities, crappy IHS paste, and slow to grow performance and core count until AMD delivered their new hardware.

And, how much I miss the days of Intel 8086, when Intel's products worked as advertised.
