We mentioned a couple of leaks in webshops already, the processors are now confirmed, and some more. The Core i3 8300, Core i5 8500 and some other processors for a couple of times already. The Intel database is listing them and another eight procs, including Pentiums and Celerons.
So we already talked about the 6-core Core i5 8500. You can also add the Core i3-8300. The Core i3 8300 model has four cores but lacks hyper-threading, it has a good base clock of 3.7 GHz though, and 9MB-L3 cache. This might become a sweet-spot CPU for many as the price will hover in the 139 EUR/169 USD marker.

The Intel Core i5 8500 has six cores, no hyperthreading but would be a notch faster compared to the Core i5 8400. The CPU has a 3.00 GHz base clock speed, unfortunately, the Turbo Boost frequencies are not listed. The i5-8400 comes with a 4.00 GHz Boost frequency so arguably you can expect something 4.20 or 4.30 GHz.
