Intel will take advantage of its sponsorship at the PC Gaming Show to be held on June 12 to present the Intel Basins Falls processors and possibly some more news about this platform.

The arrival of the AMD Ryzen processors has dealt a hard blow to Intel, even more than was foreseeable. This has caused Intel to advance the deadlines for the arrival of its next processors, with the Intel Basins Falls arriving in June and the Intel Coffee Lake between September and November. The first two confirmed processors are the Intel i7 7740K and Intel i5 7640K, which will be officially announced on June 12.

Everything indicates that Intel has chosen the PC Gaming Show event of the specialized magazine PC Gamer, which is sponsored by Intel, as the platform to officially announce Basins Falls. This event takes place on June 12, which is ideal and coincides with the company's deadlines. Along with the aforementioned processors, we must highlight that a new chipset will be launched, the Intel X299 and a new socket, the Intel LGA 2066 and therefore, we will see new motherboards developed especially for the Intel Basins Falls.

NEW DETAILS ABOUT INTEL'S NEW X299 PLATFORM

It should be said that the Intel i5 7640K and Intel i7 7740K processor are nothing more than the Kaby Lake i7 7700K and i7 7600K processors with slightly increased frequencies, the integrated graphics have been eliminated and an improvement to multi-graphics card support, since these processors will have twenty-eight PCIe 3.0 lanes. These will be the low-end processors within this new family and it will be the Intel Skylake that have the upper hand.

It is expected that these processors have a new transmission system ends between the DIE and the IHS, since as we know the paste used in the current Kaby Lake is even worse than using toothpaste for heat transmission, making overclocking unfeasible. in current Intel processors, since they reach 90ºC almost with turning on the equipment. Intel's press release, on the other hand, is disrespectful to users and has generated a significant wave of criticism, although it is something that we already discussed here when we analyzed the i7 7700K.
