Coffee Lake is the codename for a family of processors developed by Intel. Launched in late 2017, these chips are part of the 8th generation Intel Core lineup and are designed for desktop and mobile devices. They offer improved performance and efficiency compared to previous generations, featuring up to six cores and twelve threads in some models. The Coffee Lake architecture is built on a 14nm process technology, allowing for higher clock speeds and better power management. These processors support DDR4 memory and are compatible with the LGA 1151 socket, making them suitable for a wide range of computing tasks, from gaming to content creation.
