Six-core Intel Coffee Lake-H chip rears its head

TechPowerUp found some preliminary Geekbench benchmark scores of an upcoming Intel Coffee Lake-H series processor. The chip described here is a six-core model with twelve threads, 9MB L3 cache, and a base clock of 2.6GHz.

In terms of single-threaded performance this laptop processor doesn't really shine but it does seem to have multi-threaded performance capable of beating quad-core desktop chips:

Intel tends to keep the nominal clocks of its mobile processors low, while compensating with higher single-core or two-core Turbo Boost clocks. The processor in the Geekbench DB entry packs enough punch to dethrone desktop quad-core parts in multi-threaded scores, with a score of 19,129 points. The single-threaded score isn't groundbreaking at 4,013 points, but that's probably because of the low clock speeds and aggressive power-management inherent to mobile platforms.

You can expect this chip within a couple of months.
