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
There's still i3 chips but the G4560 seems to have stolen their thunderTheir naming since the introduction of i3/i5/i7 is so confusing to me.

Not really. HEDTs based on Skylake were coming this year regardless of AMD. Same goes for Skylake Xeons which HEDT CPUs are based on.This is why it is very important AMD puts pressure on Intel. They have been holding back on these high-core chips, but AMD demonstrated demand for them.
Awesome, probably time to retire the old 3570k with one of these.

Yeah probably not right now, but when second and third gen start coming through and devs start designing around these things...
Meh, I bought he 1600x and that was a awesome upgrade. I bet that 6 core will cost a fortune (more than the 7700k)
Base clocks below 4ghz? Is that supposed to be impressive in 2017?
So these are going to be really expensive like those X99 boards?
Based on the SKU names it's reasonable to assume they'll slot in at the same prices as the equivalent Broadwell-E processors (except you get an extra 2 cores in each tier above 6 core) which would mean:
Core i9-7920X ~$1700
Core i9-7900X ~$1000
Core i9-7820X ~$600
Core i9-7800X ~$400
definitely gonna be upgrading my 3570k to a skylake-x, 7800x or 7820x by the looks of those charts
i9?
Phew, not even double the performance to upgrade my i5-2500k
the 8 cores 7820k is probably gonna cost $600-800 right? Just announce them already so I can get the 1700 lol
It feels like we've been at 3.5-4.5 ghz processors for 10 years now...
Yes, but don't overclockwill be overclock enabled ?
Well Turbo 2.0 hits 4.3. So hopefully he shouldn't be hard to clock it a little higher.
Base clocks below 4ghz? Is that supposed to be impressive in 2017?
Will they be really called Core i9 or just another core i7 with fancy names like X99 and high serial number?

About damn time. All it took was a good CPU from AMD and now Intel is innovating. Let's just hope the prices are reasonable, but I will wait and see. Regardless, it's a good time to be a PC builder when competition is great.
it's a 7700k for the high end motherboards with a higher TDP capAm I missing something or is the 7740k not that compelling on paper?
It's TDP is quite a bit higher than the 7700k and there is not much benefit otherwise. Are these expected to be much faster aside from the clocks or is the 7740 really just a minor refresh of the 7700k while the other chips with more cores are the main focus here?
And we will likely to continue to do so unless there's a breakthrough in cooling.It feels like we've been at 3.5-4.5 ghz processors for 10 years now...
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"
LGA2066 according to the article linked by OPThats not an HEDT part btw
