Computex 2017: Intel To Release 18 core Core i9-7980XE Skylake-X CPU

Computex 2017: Intel To Release 18 core Core i9-7980XE Skylake-X CPU

Many expect Intel to answer AMDs 16-core processors with 12 maybe 14 core processors. Certainly not as they will be releasing an 18-core Skylake-X CPU, you better grab your life-savings in money. The processor would be called the Core i9-7980XE.

So that brings Skylake-X processor on 6-core, 8-core, 10-core, 12-core, 14-core, 16-core and 18-core models. Really, the 12-core and higher models are not expected to launch with X299 next month maybe even August as intel is not yet ready for mass volume sales. The slides demo X299 support, quad channel DDR4 2666 MHz memory, a new version of Intel Turbo Boost 3.0 technology plus a different cache structure opposed towards Haswell-E and Broadwell-E series. I stated it before, there's a bit of a panic reaction from Intel towards Ryzen 16-core parts, hence the 18-core models seem just that, a reaction to offer something more opposed to AMD Threadripper. These are HUGE steps for Intel, something we have not seen in years. Yep, they are bringing in the big guns.

Mind you that these are leaked slides and as such still are to be considered a rumor and unconfirmed.

I know the higher core count versions are going to be expensive, but if the lower end i9 is more than $500 than it better wipe the floor with AMD's CPU or this won't sell at all.

It doesn't appear that the 14, 16 and 18 cores are releasing on the 26th of June, so I suspect that Threadripper's 16 core CPU will touchdown first.

AMD has quite clearly shaken Intel pretty vigorously with Ryzen/TR.

These talks about "panic" are just nonsense, really.
True - Intel is reacting to AMD's new CPUs, but this is not a panic. Intel had years of total domination and as such had little incentives for any huge steps in core count, premformance and price.
Now they have a genuine competition, so they react accordingly.

I can't see a "panic" in this.

If someone expected Intel NOT to react, then they were mistaken.

If you are replying to me, please show me where I used the word 'panic'

They moved their release schedule up and added SKUs because there is viable competition, I don't think they are panicking, I think they are reacting 'hastily' which shows that AMDs products are cause for concern, a specter Intel have not had to deal with for some time.

I'll be interested to see if Intel adopt a competitive pricing structure or simply try to pretend that they don't have any competition.
