Entry Level Coffee Lake Refresh CPUs in the Second Quarter of 2019

Intel is already serving the high-end and mid-range segment to the full with Coffee Lake Refresh. What is still missing are further processors of the i3, Pentium and Celeron series. For example, an i3-9100 is still missing, while the Pentium and Celeron models were generally no topic yet. According to the press release, new Intel processors will be launched in the second quarter of 2019. Intel has not made a statement on this yet.

The fact that Intel is developing Coffee Lake Refresh into a fully-fledged generation has been known for quite some time. The company still has problems with the 10nm production, which should have been running for years. In addition, there are production bottlenecks in the 14nm production, which have even forced Intel to turn part of the 10nm production back to 14nm.
