Intel X299 expected before year's end

[NumLock21]

Intel might launch their Intel X299 platform before year's end. Speculation has it, they might launch it during Gamescom, in Germany, which last from August 22 to 26. Intel X299 uses a new socket with 2066 pins, supports quad channel DDR4 at 2667MHz and possible support for Intel Optane. So far, there will be 4 cpus. 10c, 8c, 6c, with a 140w tdp and a 4c with a tdp of 112w. The 140w ones are Skylake-x and that single 112w is Kabylake-x. No official model numbers yet, but we can expect them to be the core i7 7xxx.

Wouldn't it be X199?

really excited hope the new chip is a real improvement rather than a small clock speed boost.

their Kabylake shows how lazy Intel are already

 

so i am not holding my breath on the X299 chipset and CPU to be ground breaking

 

10 cores CPU for 1.8K is bat shit crazy

one can hope  i am really excited for zen, if AMD can bring back real competition that would be good.

AMD also has multi core CPUs

 

so i wonder 8 cores is AMD's flagship or there might be a Xeon 12/14 cores equivalent Summit Ridge

amd needs a IPC upgrade fast. yes amd 8 core cpu is rumoured to be around 500 to 600 usd, if they pull if off its going to be awesome.

Intel skips numbers every now and then, its normal.

There have been mentions of 16C32T and 32C64T server CPUs based on the Zen architecture.

When X99 was launched in August 2014, the mainstream platform Z97 was just a few months old.  Z170 was released in August 2015. 

The current mainstream is Z270, so it stands to reason that the new enthusiast platform would also be in the 200-series.  Hence X299

LMFAO! They're scared, scared that RYZEN is coming for that motherfucking throne. 

X58 : 11/2008

X79 : 11/2011

X99 : 08/2014

X299 : 08-11/2017

They're still on their 3 year release schedule.  Ryzen has nothing to do with it.

yes i know the AMD Opterons line

 

but imagine a 16 core for the desktop line will be nuts and game changing

Rip ryzen. You beat broadwell_e but you will not beat kaby lake-e?

Not really, the customer-base for 16 core desktop processors would be pretty small. There are very few consumer applications that benefit from more than 8 threads, and people who are running applications which benefit from a lot of cores would just get a server platform if they really needed it.

Did they beat broadwell-e though? Broadwell-E has currently sold a lot more units than Ryzen.

Ryzen is not out yet lol

 

Well they did show that it outperforms 6900k. And if it didn't then poor amd will lose to both x99 and x299

The word of this launch as out last summer.  I don't think Ryzen or the throne you've placed it on had anything to do with Intel's launch.

i do need one 16 core but i not going to pay extreme prices for the Xeon and the server grade board

 

I need to test VMs and study some ransomware virus behavior using a VM

 

My customers have been hit by a few ransomware programs but we lack the knowledge on tackling them

 

And my workload is a mixture of Adobe Creative Suite and Handbrake

[MegaDave91]

With the current trend of marginal performance gains on the mainstream side, I don't expect any different on the enthusiast side.

I just have multiple desktops. I have different rendering, encoding and computing tasks running on the systems concurrently. If you need multiple VMs for testing, there is no reason why you need to have them all running on a single system.

budget man

 

my boss wont approve me buying multiple PCs just to do all the mentioned jobs

For the price of a 16C processor you could get multiple computers, either way the capital expenditure will need to be determined if it is justified by the required task.

which is why i am waiting for the AMD version that could rival the Intel Xeons.

Omg "poor" AMD losing to a $1200 chip with their $350-$550 equivalent

[Sniperfox47]

Umm what? Look at that chipset diagram... If it's an x series chipset why is the CPU connecting to it via DMI? Shouldn't the link be QPI for enthusiast boards? Or is this part of their separating enthusiast user sockets from server sockets?

Hahaha more like $750 AMD cant afford to undercut that much.

Qpi is long gone between the chipset and cpu. X99 chipset runs on dmi 2.0

Qpi is still there in the cpu. Cpus with 2 qpi can work with 2 cpus.

:O!
