A PC enthusiast in Thailand has videoed a new Acer gaming laptop which comes
packing an 8th generation Intel Core processor. The video appears to come
from the set of some kind of Acer retailer tradeshow that took place in
mid-July.
YouTuber ADBIG cannily summoned the system information page for the Acer
Nitro 5 on display and zoomed in close and steady enough for us to clearly
see some of the specifications. You can clearly see that the Acer Nitro 5
(AN515-31) packs an Intel Core i7-8550U CPU running at 1.8GHz, as it idles on
display.
In the video description ANBIG says this U-suffixed i7 processor packs 4
cores and 8 threads. You can see elsewhere in the screenshot that the system
comes packing a reasonable 20GB of RAM and is running Windows 10 Home 64-bit.
Further information provided by the techy YouTuber is that the new Acer Nitro
5 also packs a "new GTX graphics card". We don't know if that's new as in
current generation, or new as in previously unseen, I suspect the former or
it would have been highlighted.
What is the price of this Coffee Lake infused Acer Nitro? According to ANBIG
it will cost 25,000 Thai Baht, equivalent today to about ￡580. Perhaps that
is the price without tax, or to resellers, it's difficult to know.
Earlier this week we reported on the official Intel launch for the 8th
Generation Core CPUs. At 8am PDT (4pm BST) on Monday, 21st August we will get
plentiful official information about the new CPUs, we hope. Remember, Coffee
Lake devices will arrive "in the holiday season and even before," according
to Intel. It certainly looks like we will have Coffee Lake gaming laptops
available very shortly after launch.

有一個Youtuber在Acer泰國辦的封閉活動上拍到一台Nitro 5的系統資訊
是八代的 i7-8550U
他在影片下面的敘述宣稱這顆i7是4c8t的(影片已下架)
這也符合之前intel自己洩漏的新聞稿敘述
然後Intel在 8/21 要正式發表八代CPU
結論: 2c4t -> 4c8t 效能提升30%以上
