Intel Announces X299, Skylake-X, and Kaby Lake-X Release Schedule (anandtech.com)

Posted by msmash on from the mark-the-date dept.

Ian Cutress, writing for AnandTech: At Computex a couple of weeks ago, Intel announced its new Basin Falls platform, consisting of the X299 chipset with motherboards based on it, a pair of Kaby Lake-X processors, and a set of Skylake-X processors going all the way up to eighteen cores, denoting the first use of Intel's enterprise level high core-count silicon in a consumer product. As part of Intel's E3 press release, as well as their presentations at the show, the new Core i9 processors were discussed, along with Intel's continued commitment towards eSports. Intel gave the dates for the new platform as the following: 4, 6, 8 and 10-core parts available for pre-order from June 19th; 4, 6, 8 and 10-core parts shipping to consumers from June 26th; 12-core parts expected to ship in August; and 14, 16 and 18 core parts expected to ship in October.

    What we really need here is a clear display of how much bang you get for your buck.

    What we really need here is some patience. Intel's new products are borderline incoherent; they've been caught flat footed by the return of competition in the x86 market and now they've gone and made some marketing blunders.

    We've been here before. It took Intel a while to figure itself out when AMD blew everything up with Athlon 64.

    So chill. Don't waste money on any hastly cobbled together Intel white elephants, and try to remember that these 'problems' you're having with Intel et al. are really just rich people problems; lots of disposable income chasing after the best entertainment machines ever made.

    Also, considering that Ryzen is decent and currently at 14nm while Global just announced the start of the 7nm production line as well as a 5nm test line, there are going to be some very nice, very affordable AMD laptops coming down the pike probably in time for next year's corporate product refresh.

    Intel should be worried it has competition again. They are going to have to compete on price, which they really, really hate to do.
