Oooh moving to a baseline of 4 cores; this means we'll see quad core Lenovo X1 Carbons / Ultrabooks soon. :) I for one am excited.
Do you happen to have any idea how long we'll have to wait for that? Might they be out in a month, or might it take a few more?

I'm guessing January next year with February availability, going by previous releases. (This is purely my own speculation, considering CES/previous releases.)
I remember seeing claims of 15-30% improved single-threaded performance. Does anyone know how legitimately I should take these? They sound way too good to be true...

Maybe per watt?

That's not the impression I got, but I'm not well-versed in the marketing terminology. Is that the impression you get from here? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/05/intel-claims-30-perf...

Even AMD think of it as such. Ryzen doesn't have it disabled on the desktop, but AMD haven't validated it either.
Didn't AMD employees confirm it a few times on the web already ?
Still a lot more than what Intel offers in that space.

I might miss something in that article, but this 15-30% performance increase when pitting a dual core against a quad core is pretty bad. I don't see the mention of single thread performance. It talks about overall benchmark performance.

I'm pretty sure they mean single-threaded, but I've seen different numbers floating around. Here I see between 11-29% depending on the model: https://videocardz.com/72112/intel-claims-i7-8700k-to-be-11-...
Also, there seems to be some confusion whether those processors now are a kaby lake refresh or the new coffee lake architecture. The videocardz article mentions Coffee Lake (and some other news articles call those processors that as well), but the anandtech article defines them as a Kaby Lake Refresh. A new architecture would make a single thread performance increase more likely.
