Can't really see skylake-x as being a worthy upgrade. Might as well wait for kabylake-x

Hopefully this won't be out to soon, I've not long got my 5960X lol Need to max that out first then buy my first 10 core 😉 KabyLake X is interesting, 4 cores on the HEDT platform, nice starter chip for someone who perhaps couldn't afford an 8 or 10 core straight away!

Yeah, probably going to be a very high clocked 4core chip.. 4.5Ghz+ for sure, given that high TDP 114W.. Although I was a bit surprised to see entry 6core SkylakeX, was almost positive it will be 8core as entry not another 6core. 🤓

now i dont understand the reason for the big cpu ...2-8 cores are done on a smaller die anyone know?

Could be the 10 core 🙂

So we're not looking at the hexa/octa channel 3500 pin monster socket that's also been floating around, damn!

I really doubt the kabylake-X chip will be much faster than the regular desktop part. they have probably just allowed ECC on the memory, and some other Enterprise features not found on the Desktop version. that could account for the slight increase in TDP. What I see about the Skylake-X is that huge reduction in LLC....

The only truly important news is that Intel is once more requiring a new socket for new CPUs, this time in the workstation market. ...
