Intel plans to launch 12-core Skylake-X in advance of June 2017 and set the game to meet 16-core AMD Ryzen

Intel's next high-end CPU "Skylake-XUp to 10 coresInformation that it was changed to 12 coresAlthough there was before, there is information that Skylake - X will be released ahead of schedule in June 2017 after changing the original schedule. In the background of Intel's movement, there is no doubt that there is the top Ryzen, which is said to be the 16 cores released by rival AMD in the second half of 2017.

Intel announces on 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th core "Core X series" processors on May 30, 2017 in compliance with COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2017 in Taiwan and Taipei, BenchLife It reports. According to BenchLife, Intel's senior vice president Nabin Shenoyi will be present at the recital and will hold a keynote speech. If the keynote speech by Intel's senior vice president is true, it is expected that important announcements will be made and it is no wonder that Intel's top CPU such as Skylake-X will be announced.


In the Core X series, in addition to Skylake-X, "Kaby Lake-XA series named "The plan will be prepared. High-end model compatible with conventional LGA2011-v3Broadwell-E"Is replaced by Skylake-X," for main stream "Kaby Lake-SApart from that, a 4-core CPU called Kaby Lake-X is also added, which together constitute the "Basin Falls" platform combined with LGA 2066 compliant chipset X299. Skylake-X corresponds to PCI-Express 3.0 from the CPU 44 lanes, Kaby Lake-X 16 lanes.


Skylake - X and Kaby Lake - X CPUs are compatible with X299 chipset and have 24 lanes of PCI - Express 3.0. Skylake - X is expected to be DDR4 dual channel compatible with 4 channels of DDR4 2667, Kaby Lake - X.


I do not quite understand the positioning of the 4-core Kaby Lake-X to Skylake-X of more than 6 cores, but it seems likely to be a model aiming at clocks rather than killing the iGPU core of Kaby Lake-S. BenchLife says these CPUs will be released on June 26, 2017 after being announced at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2017.

Intel initially planned to replace the top-level CPU "Broadwell-E" with Skylake-X of up to 10 cores in the second half of 2017, but we added a 12-core version with an increased number of cores, and the release time has also been significantly advanced ahead of schedule It will be in shape. Inel hits the release of the top CPU because the prediction is that rival AMD will release the top Ryzen of 16 cores in the new chipset X 399 in the third quarter of 2017. 8 core CPU with performance equivalent to 10 core Broadwell-E "Ryzen 7"Has appeared, Intel is finally going to be seriously in a situation. In addition, Digitimes says that the top-level model of 12 cores will be released in August 2017.

In addition to the Intel main stream CPU, including the 6 core model "Ryzen 5"Intel introduced the next model of CPU with built-in GPU"Cofee LakeThe series is scheduled to be released in August 2017 with the schedule of schedule ahead of schedule from the beginning of 2018 which was originally planned. Intel plans to release the Core i 7, Core i 5, Core i 3 of Cofee Lake generation ahead of schedule to defend the mainstream market being corroded by Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5, first the Z370 motherboard of the upper chipset will be released in August Motherboards equipped with H370, B360, H310 chipset are expected to be released from the second half of 2017 to the first half of 2018 afterwards.
