Intel under pressure from AMD, would have anticipated the launch dates of its Basin Failures and Coffee Lake processors, which were expected at the end and beginning of 2018, respectively.
According to industry experts in Taiwan, Intel is responding to the pressure following the arrival of AMD Ryzen processors by accelerating the launch schedule for processors and different platforms. The company would be working to regain its monopoly with the arrival of the Basin Falls platform that arrived during Computex, three months ahead of the scheduled program and in summer the Coffee Lake processors should also arrive, which were scheduled to be launched early in the year. next year.
Rumors indicate a change of plans. According to the DigiTimes media, Intel will present the Basin Falls platform during Computex 2017, with it expected to hit the market in late May and early June. Basin Falls is based on Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors, both of which will be based on the X299 chipset. Slylake-X will arrive in versions of six, eight and ten cores with a consumption of 140W and in December a twelve-core processor will arrive, while Kaby Lake-X will have a processor only with four cores.
Later, at the E3 event, which is in June, Intel would launch the Basin Falls processors, according to Asian sources. Basically these dates are three months earlier than what was originally planned by Intel. Coffee Lake, on the other hand, the 14nm architecture, will arrive earlier than expected, since in principle it was scheduled for January 2018, this family of processors that will arrive predictably in August ahead of time. It will be then when the Intel i7, Intel i5 and Intel i3 processors will arrive with 'K' versions and with a new chipset, the Z370. During the following months, more processors and the H370, H310 and B360 chipsets will be launched.
Basin failures, what a name HAHAHAHA
Based on Sky and Kaby Lake…. It sounds to me that they will advance more of the same
The Basin Falls processors are the HEDTs, such as the Broadwell-E, high-performance processors with a multitude of cores for 'economic' workstations and for multitasking, such as gaming and streaming simultaneously and they are Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X with more nuclei.
Economical…. (On what planet and for what time is over $ EUR1000 economical?) ...
This one in quotes for something. If you compare it with the price of the Xeon, it is slightly cheaper. I reiterate that it is for Workstation, just in case.
neeeh, the same old refried with Intel .. it even seems like an unnecessary expense
If you have a Skylake / Kaby Lake, the change I guarantee is unnecessary, however, for people who have older equipment or AMD toasters, it is a very good option.
Sandy Bridge 2011, I7 2600K, present and still valid! The most important thing is to update the video card, not so much the processor. Having boards that support technologies like Vulkan make a difference. I am going to update the first thing only when those processors support 3D memory such as HBM or stacked memory, which is when a very important leap is going to take place, being able to free ourselves from the so-called bottlenecks. Graphics cards will also have HBM shortly.
