Intel Core i7-8086K appears at some web stores
Some online stores have included the Core i7-8086K in their range. An Italian store quoted a price of 480 euros. Intel is rumored to announce the processor on June 5, in honor of the 8086 processor’s 40th anniversary.
According to Videocardz, some Chinese stores already reported the Core i7-8086K, but an Italian, Canadian, American and Russian webshop has been added in recent days. The Italian site has since taken the product page offline. The processor carries the type number BX80684I78086K.
The Italian site mentioned a clock speed of 5GHz and a price of 481.27 euros. The Russian site sticks to 4GHz. The American site of it supplier Connection does not mention specifications, but does report a price of $ 480.47. Previous specifications included a base clock of 4.0GHz, boosted to 5.1GHz, the presence of six cores, an integrated UHD 630 GPU and a TDP of 95W.

Intel will hold a keynote on June 5, in which the processor could be announced.
