Intel is launching a new wave of 8th generation Core processors for thin-and-light notebooks and 2-in-1 convertibles that fall in the U-Series and Y-Series processor families.
At their core, the Whiskey Lake-U and Amber Lake-Y processors are fundamentally architecturally identical to Kaby Lake Refresh processors. That means that these processors are still built on 14nm process technology -- Intel won't be making a shift to 10nm for its consumer processors until late 2019.
You can see the chart below for the new lineup of Whiskey Lake-U and Amber Lake-U parts; Intel has mainly focused on increasing boost clocks, which should help single-threaded performance across-the-board:
