Whiskey Lake is Intel's codename for a family of third-generation 14nm Skylake low-power mobile processors. Intel announced Whiskey Lake on August 28, 2018.

Changes

• 14++ nm process, same as Coffee Lake
• Increased turbo clocks (300–600 MHz)
• 14 nm PCH
• Native USB 3.1 gen 2 support (10 Gbit/s)
• Integrated Wi-Fi 802.11ac 160 MHz / WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0
• Intel Optane Memory support

List of Whiskey Lake CPUs

Mobile processors

The TDP for these CPUs is 15 W, but is configurable.

Core i5-8365U and i7-8665U support Intel vPro Technology

Pentium Gold and Celeron CPUs lack AVX2 support.
