Still 4/4 for i5 and 4/8 for i7. I really hope Zen will be competitive and Intel stop selling us overpriced quad-cores.

weird, I heard rumor Intel gonna start making true 6 cores for i5 chips.

They're nothing but Skylake's equivalent to Haswell's 'Devils canyon' refresh, as someone who got burned with Intel's lies about upgrade paths for Z97 owners, you'd do well to stay away from these if building a system from new.

As pitiful as ever. Unless you want an overprised Optane SSD, assuming you could somehow snatch one from the corporate channels, this is utterly worthless. Overclock a Skylake and you've got a Kaby lake.
I really want Zen to succeed. Intel sucks more (money) than an industrial vacuum cleaner with a 5kW motor.

Yawn... I'm starting to loose track of these releases. I too hope AMD will succeed, just to spice things up after Intel domination for like over 5 years. Though I plan to stay on my X99 system for at least another 2 years, I am looking forward to finally see significant performance bumps again.

The funny thing would be when Intel will ask for new socket with 8xxx series. Undoubtedly, my 4690 stay as is. Focus on GPU -I hope the rumor Nvidia will build the new GPUs with Samsung and 14nm.

Dejavu since 2010... same **** different name.

I'm not an overclocker, having just bought a 1151 socket and 6600 I'm interested in these for an upgrade later in. Just stinks they seem to keep rehashing technology, but then again, when you have basically zero competition, you're not needing to break boundaries.

add 100 mhz, remove some cache, change socket - job done > sold millions
When will I change my very old cpu cooler Intel ? something went wrong when it still fits

meh its like upgrading from a gtx980 to 1080 for a 5% performance jump -or less with a different pci-e slot

Wanna bet that the average OC frequency will be at the 4.5-4.7GHz ballpark, once again? This feels like a GPU update with a bit more optimistic frequencies for the cherry picked top parts like the 7700k. And still quad core. I hope Zen has unlocked multipliers by default, just to stop this "k" nonsense from Intel.

for people that asking more cores on mainstream line
despite more cores dx12 related
but what about cpu is performance...
and thats why amd that have more cores even lower prices cant win consumer mind
most will just go with one that offer better performance (other than bigger marketing/promotion wave from intel)
if intel selling 10cores but same performance like 4cores, then where the value ?
will people buy the cpu just because more cores? i dont think so
but in addition no extra cores in next mainstream cpu
the performance improvement seems marginal either... almost like rebranded gpu-chip

Jesus man these guys change cpu's like I change my underwear! Haha.
Hint for Amd (cough)

creating x86-64 back then.
Intel has been a little busy, creating the most advanced semiconductor factories on Earth. They are basically almost five years ahead of everyone else.
They both apologize for their laziness angelgraves.
