    Intel will unveil Coffee Lake on August 21 - with mobile availability likely before the holiday season.

    Is Coffee Lake going to make that much of a difference for gaming?

    Not really. GPU still king. Followed by CPU GHz.

    Expect 10% gain in synthetic benchmarks. 5% for in game

    There is exception if 6 core released for laptop. Will likely trail behind quad core in most games except for a few games that like hyper-threading a lot

    Yeah, expect similar performance from Covfefe Lake mobile. What I am more interested in is R5 1600 laptops.
