Kabylake or Zen mighty becoming early January 2017 release!

Kabylake or Zen mighty becoming early January 2017 release! (Not 100% confirmed its a theory)

I was watching a video from paul's hardware, his $1000 Balanced Gaming PC! - Dec 2016 Monthly, Build to be more exact, when I noticed him saying "pretty good chance that  I'm not actually building the system due to some upcoming stuff at the very end of December and the beginning of January, that I can't really talk about yet." (Timestamp: 1:29+)  So I thought about what  could be so big that it would stop a whole build, at first I thought new a GPU but can't be right they just released the 400 series and 1000 series couple months back, then I thought about the CPUs, that's where I got idea of the release of kabylake or zen could be very soon. in my opinion, I think its probably going to be KabyLake going be released due to the frequent leaks and the amazon India listing and it not being the biggest update or a new architecture released the date of release maybe or going be around 7th of January 2017.(guessestimates)

This isn't really news, and it isn't more than speculation (still). Paul might be on a NDA from Intel and AMD about their upcoming CPU's, but by him saying that in a video I would think he would be breaching it (because new cpu releases are a big deal).

 

He is most likely talking about new gear he is receiving from other companies, or some special build he will be doing for the new year.

 

Either way, I am pretty sure everyone already thinks the new CPU's are coming out in January/February.

So... you've written a post based on guesstimation, your opinion and leaks, and your title contains "Kaby Lake or Zen confirmed Early January 17."

 

Dafuq? You can't say "confirmed" and then follow up with guesses, estimates and opinion. Saying "kind of" doesn't make it any better.

well the rumours whatever on Zen is all over the place and they are listed as "january" so would guess that and Kaby lake is also kinda "confirmed" around then.

 

but end december? well... if they announce/launch then, then even better... I am still holding out to see what Zen brings and what prices/performance... We live in interesting times.
