Specs Unreleased high-end Core i7 and Core i9 7900 Series Processors hit the web

Specs Unreleased high-end Core i7 and Core i9 7900 Series Processors hit the web

On the Anandtech forums a some users have released model numbers and specifications of upcoming and unreleased Intel processors. It's a list that is based on a photo from a power-point presentation, and seems the real deal e.g. Kaby- and Skylake-X processors. Interesting is that Intel is adding Core i9 processors.

Intel likely releases Core i9 procs to battle the AMD Ryzen processors and their pending (TBA) processor line. The top of the line flagship model will be a Core i9 7920X, this processor will be a 12-core part with 24 threads and that confirms all rumors and discussion we have had in the past few months. However 12 cores is less then what AMD will be releasing with their 16-core / 32 threaded Ryzen Whiteheaven processors.

Furthermore you are going to see a Core i9 7900X which will be a 10c/20t part. Then the Core i9 7820X, a 8c/16t part and then in the Core i7 line you may expect the Core i7 7740K and 7640K quad core processors. The Skylake X processor will all get a max 1MB L2 cache per core, that is a big increase coming from Skylake Core i7 7700k likely to increase IPC performance on the quad-core procs. The Core i9 processors are going to support quad-channel memory at 2667 MHz and will get a 160 Watt TDP, a maximum 16.5 MB L3-cache and 44 available PCI-Express lanes for inter-component connectivity. We think that in June this line will see an announcement, likely not at Computex. Albeit we do expect to see some stuff behind closed doors. It is also stated that the top flagship Core i9 7920X will be available as late as August. That again would validate an earlier rumor that Skylake-X biggest part being available move to August. Here is what the rumored linup would look like:

Core i7 7640K 4 / 4 4.0 GHz 4.2 GHz 6 MB 16 Kaby Lake

 
As much as we can argue and discuss, I would like to add a massive disclaimer, non of this information has been validated and thus please do take it with a grain of salt and as always, apply some common sense.

I like that Core i9 7820X, it all depens on price, 500€ would be great but if its still in 900€+ then they can keep it...

Better just wait for total x86 refresh with IceLake.

Great news, 8/16 most likely will be the sweet spot.


Yup, they are going AMD route. Seems like 8/16 is where its at.

Btw, looking at all this makes current Intel quad-core lineup outdated already.

I see lots of people saying this and i don´t understand why. Only 10 or 20% of consumers needs more than a quad or a dual core! For most people having a quicker cpu or one with more cores is totally useless because they don´t need it!!!

It´s amazing the quantity of people falling for the "more cores" marketing started by Ryzen... Or by cell phone chip makers to be more accurate.
I just hope that at least AMD can make profit of this...

News like this is good, but, it's all in the pricing.

As for Ryzen, amongst my friends, I don't know anyone who's bought it. Almost everyone has i5 and i7.
