New Basin Falls HEDT Intel Desktop Platform will arrive faster than expected

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 04/10/2017 07:15 AM | source: | 24 comment(s)

At least that claim is made by website benchlife who reports this based on a reliable source. Initially the new platform was expected in the first week of August, but now it has been moved towards the end of June.

The new high-end platform is called Basin Falls and entails the X299 chipset with both Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors. These 14nm CPUs will see a new socket, LGA2066 and get 4-, 6,- 8,- and 10 core models.

So is this an answer from Intel for Ryzen i assume? Fingers crossed for lower prices, and some actual PERFORMANCE improvements.

Perhaps finally a worthy upgrade.

this is pants from intel. 4core only 16 lanes.... are you kidding me and still 14nm. So one introduces a pci based soundcard and then the 1080ti will only run @ x8. Is this intels way of forcing you to buy the more expensive CPU's? i bet they still wont be cheap. This is pants from intel. i have not looked at AMD for over 15yrs but now my head had turned at Ryzen and seriously thinking about AMD for next build.

Even when AMD was a better option with better performance in 2002-2006 era before Core series launched?

Very interesting, if those slides are real, that would mean intel will be taking the pentium 4 approach with the kaby lake-x cpus, 112watt tdp is extremely high for a 4 core, wouldn't be suprised if its a >4.6ghz cpu. Seems like a product Inspired by fear. :boozer:

Why, Ryzen isn't worthy for an upgrade?
Oh, right: you guys just want AMD to come up with stuff so Intel lowers their price...

Same: until 10nm comes, Intel has nothing to offer that I'd be interested in. Ryzen all the way!

It's a product inspired by: software today takes advantage of clock speed so lets bump ours so we keep above Ryzen at gaming and charge more for the CPU's, fanboys will surely buy.
