Six-core Intel Coffee Lake shows up in SiSoft Sandra

WCCF Tech noticed that there's a new entry in the SiSoft Sandra benchmark database that reveals one of the first Intel six-core processors. Part of the upcoming 14nm Coffee Lake lineup, the unnamed chip has six cores, twelve threads, a 3.5GHz baseclock and a 4.2GHz Turbo:

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.

The performance of the chip is pretty low but that's probably because it's an early sample with poor software support.
