'''Core i7''' is a family of high-end performance {{arch|64}} [[x86-64]] [[microprocessor|processors]] designed by [[Intel]] for high-end desktops and laptops. It was introduced in [[2008]] following the retirement of the {{intel|Core 2 Quad}} family. Core i7 microprocessors are the high-end brand from the {{intel|Core}} family, positioned above both the {{intel|Core i5}} and the {{intel|Core i3}}.

8th Generation-core based on the {{intel|Coffee Lake|l=arch}} microarchitecture were introduced in early 2018. Those parts offer are manufactured on Intel's third generation [[14 nm process|14 nm++ process]] which allowed for higher clock frequencies.

{{intel|Coffee Lake|l=arch}}-based Core i7s were introduced in late 2017 with a number of high-end SKUs. A larger number of SKUs are set to be introduced in early 2018. Those new [[14 nm|14nm++]] parts introduce a number of significant architecture changes including the bump to [[6 cores]] from [[4 cores|4]] and a frequency bump, improving performance by a fair bit.

{{intel|Coffee Lake|l=arch}}-based Core i7s were introduced in late 2017 with a number of high-end SKUs. A larger number of SKUs were introduced in April 2018. Although they still use standard {{intel|LGA-1151|Socket LGA-1151}}, those parts are no longer backwards compatible with earlier 100/200-series [[chipsets]] and must be paired with an appropriate {{intel|300-series chipset}}. A significant configuration change has taken place with the introduction of Coffee Lake including bumping the core count for the Core i7s from [[4 cores]] to [[6 cores|6]] and appropriately increasing the [[L3 cache]] which has significantly increased the performance of those parts over the prior generation. All models have the following features in common:
