I strongly disapprove


This looks good, the i5 8600k could be very interesting but it will all depend on how they price them and how much OC headroom they will have. Turbo clocks for the Ks look already very high...

The more interesting thing is that it doesn't say LGA1151v2.

I also find it very strange that we haven't seen any 300-series board image leaks yet. What if Intel said "gently caress it" and they're waiting for the Z390 with Cannonlake?

16 (or 2x8) for graphics, assume 24 additional via the PCH (same as Kaby Lake and Z270 - Skylake had 16+20). I somehow doubt they'll match base mode Sky-X @ 28 lanes or why in the hell does the 7800X exist at all? Again, we have to actually see a Z370 board first.

The rumors are that Z370 is just a rebadged Z270, and Z390 isnt launching yet.

Well, obviously - Z390 is specced for Cannonlake. I'm just perplexed, because if Intel had decided against going with LGA1151V2 for Coffee Lake, you'd think they'd be crowing about their generosity with regards to giving the prior generation a hell of an upgrade path and yadda, yadda, yadda.

They definitely need the good press, and it's not like anyone's really going "gee, should I buy that piece-of-crap 7800X and the super-expensive motherboard that goes with it, or wait for the much cheaper and just-as-good-on-paper 6C/12T Coffee Lake?"

The 24 lanes via the PCH are rather homeopathic. People keep saying that running graphics at 8x makes a negligible difference, that's not something everyone wants to settle for. Put NVMe on the PCH and there isn't much bandwidth left for other stuff. 10GbE is about to get popular, and seems like every power user has a NAS, guess how that'll work together. I wonder if Intel goes wider the next general release, or if more lanes will continue to be a HEDT thing.

Tom's Hardware did a decent article for the 100-series explaining just how much you had left over lane-wise (PCIe and HSIO) a while back: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-100-series-hsio-chipset,30210.html

Everything on the PCH gets funnelled over only four PCIe lanes, though, whose speed depends on chipset generation. Thus why I called it homeopathic.

idk an 18 core cpu with a 4ghz+ turbo is pretty drat impressive. the 18 and 20 core Xeon's with the same silicon all cap out at 3.7 turbos and cost a whole lot more. and Epyc caps out at 3.2 turbo, with lower IPC.

If the leaked specs are to be believed, the 8700k looks... good? 6 cores at good clocks and 4.7gHz single core performance. Or am I missing something? Will cannon lake offer something fundamentally better?

That is epyc, threadripper base clock is 3.4 with a boost to 3.9? So you aren't really comparing the differant chips correctly. Because you can go up to 32 cores on a single socket epyc but only 16 with threadripper.

If this thing is basically just six kaby lake cores in the same package, we're talking 50% more heat output. Going to be trouble. Delidding will continue to be popular! I have the tool for 1155/1151 so I expect it will work for these chips.

If Intel has given us a 6-core chip that can clock to 5ghz with Skylake's IPC (as opposed to Skylake-X's regression) then I am all over that poo poo. edit: especially if I can still use my z170 motherboard.

I compared to Epyc because TR doesn't go to 18/20 cores (and we are pretty sure the 20 core model is coming eventually). Although it's gonna be fun to see the meh launch X299 boards try to deliver 18/20 cores worth of power at those frequencies.

Though none of us are buying these dumb things anyway.

It's also possible that the extra two dies are unprocessed silicon spacers, instead of disabled or defective zeppelins. :shrug:

So did AMD really waste two perfectly good “Zeppelin” dies? Nope.

Those other two “chips” are nothing more than spacers to help maintain the structural integrity of the gigantic heat spreader, PCWorld has learned from a source who declined to be identified.

Even if they got 100% yields, they wouldn't use untested dies to stop a heatspreader bending.

unprocessed silicon at that thickness is also like 20 cents and they don't even have to be precise cutting it so even using wasted dies is a cost negative compared to using microglass

but they COULD be total bum dies, since TR doesn't seem to be a high volume product in any case

I guess I never thought about it but I am more limited by PCI lanes than CPU cores. 4 seems fine for %95 of my uses but I have huge PCIe needs. Cards:

RX480 - 16x
(another RX 480) - 16x
Intel NVMe 750 - 4x
Sound card - 1x
RAID controller - 4 or 8x
10g Ethernet - 4x or 8x
So for my system right now I need 45 lanes and have 24 :(

Yeah I know. Intel is sucking rear end. Back in the day I used to have my systems totally full of PCI expansions cards (and ISA for that matter)

Truth is I have a really hard time trusting AMD's platforms. I have had the worst experiences ever with unstable / prematurely dieing stuff. To the point I bought only Pentium 4's when AMD was killing them in IPC. Yeah PENTIUMS.
