Intel core i9 skylake 18-core delays release until 2018

This past week, Intel unveiled its new series of processors. The so-called X-Series. A series of processors with which many consider that it faces AMD.

18-core Intel Core i9 Skylake delays release until 2018

Among them, the 18-core Core i9 stood out. A very complete processor and fully equipped to meet the demands of the players.

Delayed launch

It was not the only processor featured in this series. A total of 9 have been presented in total, ranging from the “least powerful” to the most powerful of all. Also the price range was remarkable. The cheapest of all costs $ 242. The most expensive, the Core i9 core costs a whopping $ 1, 999. Virtually $ 2, 000 for this processor.

Exact release dates were not initially discussed. They were expected to be ready by the end of the year. But with the Skylake 18-core Core i9 it won't be like that. Its launch has been delayed until 2018. It has also not been revealed when in 2018 it will be released, so the wait may be quite long. Many expect 14- and 16-core processors to also experience a lag, though nothing has been said about it.

No reason has been provided for such delay. But many see it as an opportunity for AMD to achieve greater success in the market. We hope to know more details about this delay soon, and also some date on its possible launch in 2018. What do you think about this news? What do you think is the reason for the delay of its launch?
