Intel's Boyd Phelps has confirmed that 8-core Tiger Lake processors with up to 24 MB of low-level cache are in the offing soon. Rumors indicate that Tiger Lake-H will be available in 35 W and 45 W variants with four cores and up to eight cores, respectively. It will be interesting to see how the competition between Tiger Lake and AMD's upcoming Cezanne mobile APUs pans out.

According to anandtech articles, Tiger Lake will also support Total Memory Encryption (TME), and TGL-H will also support Two Level Memory (2LM). I haven't seen Intel comment on the 2LM support in TGL, but I believe it is one of the modes used in Optane DIMMs, so I'm curious if that is the implied use.
"More details on 8 core tigerlake at a later date" seems intentionally ambiguous on the part of Intel. Please prove detractors wrong by providing a solid launch date for the 8 core sku. Otherwise it is left to the imagination.
8c/16t with only 32 EU?
Me:-sic....
Please a monster APU when? 8c/16 96EU?
