The Intel Core i5-8500 processor got spotted in the online database of the SiSoft SANDRA test. This six-core Coffee Lake chip has a base clock of 3.0GHz, has six threads, 9MB L3 cache, and a TDP rating of 65W. The Boost clock is unknown.

TechPowerUp speculates this chip will soon hit retail shelves for about $220, after retailer markup.
It scored 139.63 GOPS in the Arithmetic test, 317.88 Mpix/s in the multi-media test, 7.49 GB/s in the cryptography test, which puts its performance in the league of AMD's Ryzen 5 1600.
There are also rumors about more Coffee Lake chips for the laptop market. German tech site ComputerBase came across evidence of several chips, including the Core i7-8850H, the first six-core, twelve-threaded CPU for the mobile segment. Other parts include the 7-8670, i5-8600T, i3-8121U, and i3-8130U. There is even a mentioning of an early Cannonlake-U sample, Intel still hopes to ship these later this year.
