Damn, those are some beastly specifications. I wonder will the pricing be reasonable aswell or will they simply go for moar power...
Oh wait... it's Intel.

Very much this. I'd love to have a hex-core chip from Intel but I just can't see them selling it for £200-250. Right now I think a second hand i7-6700k might be the way to go. We'll see what's about once the cash is ready.

You two above could opt for the 6C/12T upcoming coffee lake LGA1151 CPU? Over 300 quid likely but more affordable than Basin Falls CPUs I reckon.
Back to the slide, you just beat me to it Mark ha ha, nice find! Could someone explain turbo 2 and 3 to me? Why two, I mean?
The i9-7820X (I thought there weren't going to be X SKUs this round, only K (although this shown splitting makes loads more sense) seems to have my name on it; exactly the specs I'm wishing for. I'm good with 28 lanes as well; don't care for SLI and 1-2 M.2 drives and I'm set. Loving a 4.5GHz turbo as well, exactly what I want out of the box. Slap on 100-200MHz more and done. Now, who wants to buy my soul? I'll throw in a bag of peanuts for the lucky taker! Would it be senseless to only run 4X4GB RAM (=affordable) instead of 4x8 (=nearly 500 euro) for 8C/16T?
Interesting line up, if true, and it looks like there's a slot open at the top for a potential 7950X...?

Look very dodgy indeed.

Hey Kaap! How do you mean dodgy? I only know it as suspect?

waste
the 7640k is a complete waste of the i7 branding. it will probably still carry the i7 price premium as well, and barely outperform the i5 7600k its meant to replace. this lineup is completely stupid. if you want a high core intel chip that with low clock speeds and will barely overclock, you can pick up a second hand xeon chip for pretty cheap.

If you do the numbers it looks like the 12 core CPU is out performing the 10 core part on individual cores.
The existing 10 core 6950X overclocks pretty good so there is no reason why these new CPUs won't as good if not better.

@Kaapstad Yeah big pinch of salt needed there!
So in anticipation I was checking Corsair Vengeance white LEDs 16GB kits (should be enough right? Difference between 16 and 32 is north of 200 euro) but they don't do 4x4 kits at 3000-3466 Aw
@Mathers Yeah I saw lol. Unfinished slide anyway. It would also be the first time Intel lists a TBM3.0 clock, which they previously never commented on. You're thinking it's fake then are you?

I want to upgrade my 5820k so this should be interesting.

Any part in particular that you're eyeing?
Probably wishful thinking, yet I hope Intel prices its new line affordable and competitively... I don't fancy shelling out 700-800 Euro for the i9-7820X
(<)400 would be nice considering the competition (now that is wishful thinking!). I have an inkling that Intel will completely ignore AMD prices.

Yeah, I'd wager they'll stick to the same prices and simply counter with more power and more variety.
AMD really only have a few chips to choose from: the R7 1700, R5 1600, R5 1500X, and R5 1400. All the rest are filler. The R3 range will bring an extra little somethin'-somethin', but it won't be high-end as we know. These new 12-core and 16-core CPU's are starting to look absolutely necessary. And Ryzen 2/+ should not be delayed if it's at all possible.
Intel on the other hand will have the '5Ghz' 7700K and 7600K, soon have the 8700K and 8600K six core CPU's (or whatever they're going to be called), and now these new Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X CPU's, most with different specifications. That's far more variety and options. They'll have more motherboards, more support for smaller form factors, greater memory availability, higher overclocking. AMD have performance to price ratio at the moment, and that's only in multi-threaded applications.

I'm afraid you are right. But they need to do something, otherwise they are giving AMD the consumer marked. But maybe that's not an issue.
Or the performance is awesome, so they are a good buy after all

My thoughts exactly AG! If these specs are true I was right about the boost clocks, which will give us the raw power and on more cores. Not knowing if this is true and their price is truly killing me. I'm simply not rich - maybe I'll skip going on vacation or something. Or maybe Tom wants to adopt a grown man who is only interested in playing with his tech toys...?
Even if sticking to high prices won't give away the consumer market with upcoming CL chips combined with the everlasting possession of the performance regardless of fewer cores. Probably.

This is it for me too. I want the performance Nvidia and Intel are offering, but I can't afford their exaggerated prices. I have to be sensible with my money.

I am in the same boat here as well. I would eye a step up from my 5820k for some extre grunt. The hard truth is that Intel will probably keep their Master Race prices, and even more on their i9....
*edit* If Tom would want an exchange then i could put up a summer home in Mallorca for a week, for Tech Hardware!! Sun for Tech!
