LGA2066 according to the article linked by OP
I don't understand the responses in this thread at all.
Intel is doing a lazy rename (i7->i9) and giving HEDT a mindblowing 4C4T part... "zomg Intel threw down the gauntlet, how will AMD respond"
They will be on the X299 HEDT platform, but these quad's are kinda like how Intel makes quad core Xeon-E5's.
This 7740K looks neat. For me Base Clock > Number Of Cores.
Hopefully price is right.
So according to the article the 8-core 7820X only has 28 pci-e lanes, and for more lanes you must get the 10-core 7900X? Lol. For the current Broadwell-E lineup even the 6-core 6850K has 40 lanes.
No, but Skylake-X modies the cache hierarchy.What's up with the L3 Cache on the 6+ core processors? Six cores going back to CPUs such as the i7 3930k have had 12MB L3 Cache, 8.25MB L3 Cache for a Six core seems kinda low. Are they going to have some kind of L4 Cache?
Isn't Ryzen's L3 a victim cache?No, but Skylake-X modies the cache hierarchy.
Since at least Sandy-Bridge Intel uses a inclusive cache design where all data content per core from the L1I/D$ (32+32KB) and L2$ (256KB) is stored in the L3$ (1536/2048/2560KB).
This effectivly reduces the cache capacity of the L3$ but enables robust data integrity across all cores.
But Skylake-X will switch to an exklusive L3$ design.
The L2$ size will grow from 256KB to 1024KB and the L3$ size will be reduced to 1,375MB per core.
If the cache design would be still inclusive there would be bascially nothing left from the L3$.
AMD also uses an exclusive L3$ design with Zen:
64KB L1I$ + 32KB L1D$, 512 KB L2$ and 1024KB exclusive L3$ per core.
To be fair, it is a good strategy.So far only the i7e to i9 rebrand is known? If AMD prices that rumored threadripper(16c/32t) platform competitively and Intel doesn't react price-wise they will be hurt(at least until theirs 10nm is ready)
I think their strategy is to maintain the price tag the same at the cost of lost sales to Ryzen until they have process advantage again.
HEY! That PS/2 port is for my collection of old ass mechanical keyboard collection I made out with from Goodwill!
To be fair, it is a good strategy.
The single-core advantage alone will tide them over until 10nm gets into gear.
They still exist.Their naming since the introduction of i3/i5/i7 is so confusing to me.
Wait, do i3 even exist anymore ? Haven't heard about those in a while
This is cool and all but when are we getting quantum computers?
Probably best to wait for Cannon Lake or even Ice Lake since those are the ones rumored to have a big IPC uplift.I hope the comparison in performance with the 7700k will be at least a close call, I really want to upgrade from my 2500k, but one of the reason I want that upgrade is emulation ( Cemu & Dolphin... ), so single core perf is important.

Quantum computers don't provide a general improvement. They are very good at specific operations.This is cool and all but when are we getting quantum computers?

If Cannon Lake is still H2 2017 sure; but Ice Lake is kind of too far away.Probably best to wait for Cannon Lake or even Ice Lake since those are the ones rumored to have a big IPC uplift.
i just upgraded to a i5 Skylake...
so that's how intel is going to save the boutique Xeon line, by holding SLI and PCIE SSDs hostage to a $1000 CPU that might or might not be slower at 4-6 core usage than the cheaper modelsSo according to the article the 8-core 7820X only has 28 pci-e lanes, and for more lanes you must get the 10-core 7900X? Lol. For the current Broadwell-E lineup even the 6-core 6850K has 40 lanes.
The list above shows they couldn't care less haha.
"Boss AMD just released a 8C16T to challenge our HEDTs"
"Yawn, then give our customers a 4C4T that needs a X299 motherboard"
7740K is such a lame duck of a chip with the upcoming 8700K with 6C/12T on a cheaper platform.
What's up with the L3 Cache on the 6+ core processors?
Six cores going back to CPUs such as the i7 3930k have had 12MB L3 Cache. 8.25MB L3 Cache for a Six core seems kinda low. Are they going to have some kind of L4 Cache?
If I remember correctly the i9 series was originally planned to be the name for the extreme editions in the i series, the 990x, 4930, 58xx, etc i7 CPUs.

Shame that they're now reducing the HEDT platform by bringing low core/thread, dual channel memory and low PCIe lanes CPUs onto it. And convoluting the naming with these plans.
Excellent, I was waiting for Cannon Lake 6-core i7 at $300-400 but I might jump on this if the performance is worth it.
Based on the new chart, it seems Turbo Boost 3.0 allows the 8c and 10c parts to hit quite high clocks.In today's PC games, isn't a high clocked (4.5+ GHz) 4c/8t Intel processor more preferable to a lower clocked 8c/16t one ?
And totally useless for gaming. I'm hoping this drops prices of the 7700k.Wtf 18 cores, that's crazy.
Wtf 18 cores, that's crazy.

One interesting rumor from Anandtech forums is that you must have a new motherboard Z370 for Coffee Lake.
Everything in that rumor chart is for X299Are all the X series processors going to be for X299 mobo's only?
Hopefully the prices of the mobos aren't ridiculous.
