no i3 7100?

I doubt WCCF is accurate. Will have to wait for official launch and then check Intel's ark site on it.

Because it seems like they've got room... unless the 7310T is supposed to fill that void ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Also, can Intel please simply the Pentium names?  I don't want to remember that monstrosity ... just call it "Pentium 7000 K" or 6000 for skylake, 5000 for haswell, etc.  I would have much preferred that

Pentium is here to stay.

Thanks for sharing.

 

What is this "Optane Technology" available on the 200 series boards and how does it pertain to memory AND storage?

 

This sound cool!

How much would the i7 7700K be?

It's a new storage / memory media technology, which has faster performance, greater efficiency, and superior durability compared to NAND

[handymanshandle]

So basically if Kaby Lake is out before the end of the year, I might have to get a 7600K instead. Oh well. Good thing it'd be compatible with Z170 because I want a specific mobo from MSI.

I was just reading that.  I still don't get how they are combining DRAM and high volume storage into one "media."  Sounds cool and I'm all on board to learning more about it.  My hunt continues.

Looks like the pentiums replace it. they pentiums seem to be hyperthreaded.

try to read every article about 3D XPoint, it will enlighten you 

[EpicnessRo29]

Sad for people who bought a gtx 970 and i5 4460... rip

It looks like 3D nand? Is it that?

They aren't. All that the guys have said is that it will be cheaper than DRAM but more expensive than NAND flash. They have also stated that the IOPS speed is much faster than anything you could ever achieve with PCIe 3.0 3D NAND Flash memory. It has nothing to do with combining the technologies together. Neither Intel nor Micron has released much information yet on how it works, but we do know that the 3D-XPoint technology is not transistor or resistor based and will be bit addressable.

in a glimpse, it's structurally similar (3D stacked), but at this point i don't have enough knowledge to give a detailed comparison between the two of them in terms of memory architecture & structure (heck, even intel still not yet releasing all of the sweet information about optane)

[Cereal5]

making two i5s, one with 3.5 and the other with 3.4 GHz clock is pointless. I'd expect 3.3 with 3.5/3.6 boost

Actually they are implying that both system memory and storage are "Storage. Memory. Converged" and they continue with that implication throughout all of the information they've released so far.  

 

At this point, whether or not they are combining the two is pure speculation.

Guess: ~5% more than a 6700K.

Likely just pushing the limits with CPU binning.

Same price as the 6700K in all likelihood.

They will. Hybrid DIMMs are highly sought after in the database world.

[Energycore]

A 3.4GHz i3 at 35W. Not bad at all. That's about the first time I actually look at a -T product in awe.

 

Of course, this is WCCF so it's clearly not true somehow.

[sazrocks]

Wait I thought kaby lake was supposed to have a lower TDP? The 7700k has the same TDP as the 6700k.

[aisle9]

No Celerons whatsoever? I can't recall if there were Skylake Celerons at launch, or if those SKUs were a later addition.

considering the large gap in i5 clocks, and the fact they have th full "model linup", i suspect that they are seeing higher gains on i5s, trying to push a higher price point CPU rather then wasting profits on lower margin SKUs
