Intel postpones Kaby Lake launch to late 2016

Following the delay of Skylake processors, Intel's next-generation Kaby Lake processors, which were originally scheduled for early 2016, reportedly will be pushed back until September 2016 for the consumer version and January 2017 for the enterprise one. With Intel's frequent adjustments in its processor roadmap, notebook ODMs are seeing vendors' request for quotation (RFQ) process being delayed by 3-6 months.

Intel is currently planning to launch its 14nm Skylake processors for desktops in August and for notebooks in the fourth quarter. Intel's Cannonlake processors, which were originally planned to directly succeed Skylake in 2016, have been postponed and Intel has inserted the 14nm Kaby Lake platform between them as a buffer.

With the enterprise version of Kaby Lake processors being postponed to 2017, most notebook brand vendors' RFQ processes, which are usually in May-July, have been delayed by 3-6 months. Dell's RFQ process for its Kaby Lake-based enterprise notebooks is expected to start in January 2016.

As for the consumer version of Kaby Lake, most brand vendors' RFQ processes are expected to start between July-October 2015.

There's one in stock at OCUK but it's going for £649.99p which comes out to $1005.88.

That's a tad bit of a urine extraction if ever I saw one considering the RRP is £509.99p.

I actually really enjoy Arma II it takes me back to the original Rainbow Six days, where you had to plan your mission down to the finest detail before engaging, it's by no means a CoD style run and gun, you get hit, you're down.. wounded if your lucky and even luckier to get a medic and recover enough for more action. It's definitely a plan before you play, I'm quite adept at flying choppers which keeps me coming back for more.
 
Looks like AMD didn't hit the revised "Loss" levels that they thought they would and actually lost more than they predicted.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/16/amd_q2_2015_results_bloodbath/

We were warned, but AMD's second-quarter results were still a shocking bloodbath, with revenue that missed analysts' estimates and came in even lower than the chipmaker's own revised guidance.


Last week, we were cautioned to expect AMD's revenue for the period ending on June 27 to be down 8 per cent sequentially, contrary to earlier guidance that it would be flat. The actually figure was $942m, an 8.5 per cent sequential decline and a vertiginous 34.6 per cent drop from the same period a year ago.


Not surprisingly, the company's net loss widened once again. A year ago, its quarterly loss was $36m. In this year's Q1 it lost $180m. This quarter, Q2, it managed to lose $181m, which was 403 per cent worse than last year's quarter.


Hopefully AMD can get this sorted soon as a market without AMD could be bad for all of us.
