'''Coffee Lake''' ('''CFL''') is a [[microarchitecture]] designed by [[Intel]] as a successor to {{\\|Kaby Lake}} for desktops and high-performance mobile devices. Coffee Lake was introduced in the third quarter of [[2017]] and is manufactured on Intel's mature [[14 nm process]]. Coffee Lake features the first series of mainstream [[hexa-core]] processors from Intel. In [[2018]], Intel refreshed the Coffee Lake lineup to incorporate their first series of mainstream [[octa-core]] processors.

== Release Dates ==
[[File:2016 to 2018 kaby cannon coffee roadmap.jpg|left|300px]]
Early roadmaps indicated Coffee Lake was to be introduced around the second quarter of 2018. In early 2017 Intel announced that 8th generation processors will be available starting from the 3rd quarter of 2017. While the exact reason for the early release is unknown, it seems likely to attribute the move to various market forces, particularly AMD's introduction of {{amd|Zen|l=arch}} and the {{amd|Ryzen}} family.

Intel announced Coffee Lake-based SKUs on September 24 with products available beginning October 5, 2017 and OEM systems starting Q4 2017.

In October 2018, Intel introduced a refresh of Coffee Lake, adding more cores and increasing their clock frequencies.

== Technology ==
[[File:intel 14nm++.png|400px|right]]
{{see also|intel/microarchitectures/broadwell#Process_Technology|14 nm lithography process|l1=Broadwell § Process Technology}}
Coffee Lake is manufactured on [[Intel]]'s 3rd generation [[14 nm process]] called "14nm++". The process is the second enhanced version of the first which was used for the {{\\|Broadwell}} microarchitecture (first enhanced version was first used for {{\\|Kaby Lake}}). The various enhancements improve performance without increasing the capacitance (i.e., active power characteristics). 14nm++ allows for +23-24% higher drive current. Intel claims their 14nm++ process provides up to 26% more performance at the same power or 52% less power at the same performance.


[[File:intel 14nm++ (nmos).png|400px]]
[[File:intel 14nm++ (pmos).png|400px]]


Note that while both "14nm" and "14nm+" used the same transistor geometry, the "14nm++" actually uses a more relaxed contacted poly pitch of 84 nm (from previously 70nm). There is no real density change despite this change likely due to various design techniques such as reduced fins where unnecessary.

[[File:intel 8th gen core logs.png|right|thumb|250px|Coffee Lake is 8th Generation Core]]
While there is no change in pure IPC over Skylake and the actual microarchitecture is largely the same, Intel introduced a number of major architectural changes in Coffee Lake. In addition to improved performance brought by the uplift in [[binning]] as a result of the enhanced process, Coffee Lake also increased the number of cores by 50% (later by 100%), enabling much higher multi-threaded performance. The enhanced manufacturing process should allow Coffee Lake chips to be highly [[overclockable]].

== Overview ==
[[File:coffee lake overview.svg|right|500px]]
The Coffee Lake system on a chip consists of a five major components: CPU [[physical core|cores]], [[last level cache|LLC]], Ring interconnect, {{intel|System Agent}}, and the [[integrated graphics]]. The core architecture in Coffee Lake, like in {{\\|Kaby Lake}}, as not changed from {{\\|Skylake}}. This is also true for the integrated graphics which is identical to the one incorporated in {{\\|Kaby Lake}} and from a platform point of view, the I/O has not changed (supporting up to 3 displays and providing 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes). Coffee Lake, however, has brought a relatively large change to the overall system architecture by introducing two additional [[physical cores]] into its mainstream processor die. Those two cores also come with up to 2 MiB of LLC slice per core (for up to 4 MiB of additional [[last level cache]]).

In addition to improving multi-thread performance considerably by introducing 50% or two more cores as well as up to four additional threads, the added addition of up to 4 MiB of cache should have a positive impact on most single-thread performance.

=== Historical Trend ===
Coffee Lake presents the largest change in the system architecture of Intel's mainstream microarchitecture since the introduction of {{\\|sandy_bridge_(client)#System_Architecture|Sandy Bridge}} in [[2011]]. In [[2006]] Intel introduced the first mainstream [[quad-core]] processor, the [[Core 2 Extreme QX6700]] which was based on the {{intel|Kentsfield|l=core}} core. Those initial quad-cores comprised of two separate dies interconnected in a [[multi-chip package]]. A coherent communication link was lacking and the aging [[front-side bus]] was used for as the die-to-die link. This configuration did not change through {{\\|Penryn}} up until the introduction of the Core i7 based on the {{\\|Nehalem}} microarchitecture in [[2008]]. Nehalem leveraged [[Moore's Law]] and Intel's [[45 nm process]] to incorporate all four cores onto a single die along with a large number of changes, particularly enhancing the uncore (now known as the System Agent). The Core i7-980X was also the first hexa-core consumer chip, although it was part of the enthusiast market segment and used a larger die.


::[[File:penryn-nehalem overview change.svg|500px|left]]


With the introduction of {{\\|Sandy Bridge}} in 2011, the entire system architecture was reworked. A particular goal of Sandy Bridge was {{\\|Sandy Bridge#Configurability|its configurability}}. Intel wanted to be able to use a single design across multiple market segments without having to spend extra resources on multiple physical designs. A large part of its modularity came from the {{\\|sandy_bridge_(client)#Ring_Interconnect|ring interconnect Sandy Bridge implemented}}. It's worth pointing out that the ring implementation in Sandy Bridge is an enhanced version largely based on an implementation first incorporated into the Nehalem-EX server parts. The ring allowed Intel to integrate the {{intel|System Agent}} and the [[integrated graphics]] on-die in Sandy Bridge.
[[File:sandy bridge ring scalability.svg|right|100px]]
Each of those components had its own ring agent (in addition to the individual core), allowing for efficient transfer of data between the GPU, the SA, and the individual cores and caches. The final result was a complete system on a chip (SoC) with four cores and a 12 EU GPU on a single die measuring consisting of 1.16 billion transistors on a 216 mm² die.


::[[File:nehalem-sandy bridge overview change.svg|500px|right]]


From {{\\|Sandy Bridge}} through [[22 nm]] {{\\|Haswell}} and through [[14 nm]] {{\\|Skylake}}, the [[die shrink|die shrunk]] considerably, even after {{\\|skylake_(client)#Key_changes_from_Broadwell|large amount of enhancements}} (and thus transistors) were done to the microarchitecture. With the aid of [[Moore's Law]], the [[quad-core]] die in Coffee Lake's predecessor, {{\\|Kaby Lake}}, has reached 126 mm² - 42% smaller than the quad-core Sandy Bridge while packing over 3 times as much transistors.

Since Coffee Lake utilizes Intel's 3rd generation enhanced [[14 nm process|14nm++ process]] which has reached maturity and healthy yield, Intel can afford to increase the amount of cores by 50% from [[4 cores|4]] to [[6 cores]]. This is also possible thanks to the existing ring interconnect that was designed specifically to be able to support this configuration. In addition to the two added cores, there are two addition LLC slices - each consisting of 2 MiB in size.


::[[File:sandy bridge-coffee lake overview change.svg|600px]]


[[File:quad to hexa mainstream die areas.svg|thumb|right|die size over time]]

Intel's rather faithful [[process shrink]] which has resulted in over 2.4x cell-level density improvement had a significant impact on the die size of their mainstream platform which enabled the addition of two more cores and their associated cache slices without sacrificing yield due to a bigger die. In fact, the hexa-core at 149 mm² is still considerably smaller than even the quad-core {{\\|Haswell}}-based chips. The pair of cores with their associated cache slices contributed an extra ~25mm².

In late 2018 Intel introduced a refresh of Coffee Lake which further bumped the core count to eight still yielded a smaller than Haswell's quad-core at around 174 mm².  It's worth noting that Coffee Lake is released concurrently with {{\\|Cannon Lake}} which is a [[10 nm]]-based microarchitecture for low-power mobile devices. Due to Intel's faithful [[die shrink]] of roughly x2.7 in density, an identical [[hexa-core]] Coffee Lake die on 10nm would result in a smaller die than any of the [[14 nm]] quad-core dies, possibly even the [[dual-core]] dies as well.

Support for three displays via [[HDMI]] 1.4<ref group=graphics>Note that while there is no native HDMI 2.0 support, Intel did provide a somewhat awkward solution using an [[LSPCON]] ([[Level Shifter]]/[[Protocol Converter]]) to drive DP to HDMI 1.4 signal + convert HDMI 1.4 to HDMI 2.0. One such solution is the MegaChips MCDP2800.</ref>, [[DisplayPort]] (DP) 1.2, and [[Embedded DisplayPort]] (eDP) 1.4 interfaces.

== Power delivery ==
Despite using the same socket ({{intel|FCLGA-1151}}) Coffee Lake breaks compatibility with {{\\|Skylake (client)|Skylake}} and {{\\|Kaby Lake}} due to various enhancements to the power delivery of the processor in order to better handle the additional cores.

In order to improve the power delivery of the chip and support the higher package-level current delivered for the additional cores, Intel needed to increase the number of pins that go to the power rails of the die. Since there is a practical limit as to how much current each pin is capable of delivering, a large number of additional pins that were previously unused/reserved have also been allocated for this purpose. The new hexa-core parts have 38 higher amperage rating.

== Die ==
Coffee Lake desktop and mobile come in 4, 6, and 8 cores. Each variant has its own die. The major components of the die are:

* System Agent
* CPU Core
* Ring bus interconnect
* Memory Interface

=== System Agent ===
The System Agent (SA) contains the Display Engine (DE) and the I/O bus.
