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. The 8-core refresh still yielded a smaller die 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.
