kaby lake-x Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X to release together

[rm -rf]

On the Intel Roadmap leaks that have hit the internet in the last fortnight, "we can also see listing for Kaby Lake-X, which comes with the same release timeframe as Skylake-X".

Does anyone know if Intel has done this in the past, or any reasons why Intel would do this?

That would be....weird. Might pull another broadwell and just skip skylake-X for all but one or two chips.

Yeah, that seems probable, seing as their HEDT lineup is quite behind. Skylake was released in all their other line-ups before Broadwell-E.

Intel is pretty weird, they even released their E7 v4 lineup already?

Zen maybe?

That's annoying, though their topic is a bit broader, I think this may still be okay. Though I completely understand if an admin removes this post though.
