Intel 8th generation Core processor announces with two new models in the U and Y series, which have named Whiskey Lake and Amber Lake respectively.
The new 8th generation introduce with the addition of three new SKUs, Intel are extending the 8th Gen Intel Core U-series processor line-up. 8th Gen has already delivered outstanding experiences across three main areas: exceptional performance, immersive entertainment and simple convenience. The new U-series SKU (formerly codenamed Whiskey Lake) extends these benefits and is optimized for connectivity.
The new 8th generation Intel Core processors are available in Intel Core m3, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7 models.
The new U-series processors build upon a great foundation already demonstrated by the initial U-series products. Intel deliver 2x better system overall performance versus a 5 year old PC2, empowering people to focus, create, and connect like never before.

The number of PCIe lanes increases from 12 to 16, the platform now supports twice the speed with USB3.1 Gen 2 (previously USB3.0) and the firm have added Integrated Intel Wireless-AC.
Systems with Intel Wireless-AC 9560 [802.11AC 160MHz] will see up to 12x faster1 speeds compared to a 5YO PC with a 1×1 802.11B/G/N. This will allow you to download content, like movies from your favorite content provider faster, to take with you on the go. While out and about in the world, you’re capturing photos and video – when you get home, with Gigabit Wi-Fi you’ll be able to back those files up to your network attached storage faster.
The 8th Gen Intel Core™ Y-series processors allow the ability to view 1080p/4K 360 videos while enabling multiple video streams simultaneously.
“The new 8th Gen Intel Core processors extend once again our leadership in delivering exceptional performance. Now with Gigabit Wi-Fi, enabled faster PC connectivity, added more intuitive voice experiences and enabled longer battery life needed for the next wave of mobile computing.”
– Chris Walker, vice president of the Client Computing Group and general manager of Intel Mobile Client Platform
The 8th Gen Intel Core Y-Series Processor (i7-8500, i5-8200Y, m3-8100Y) — The first 8th Gen Intel Core i7, i5 and m3 (Y-series) processors are balanced for mobility and deliver incredible performance that people expect from Intel processors in super thin and light devices with fast Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity.
