Intel will launch its new hedt processors in three phases starting in June.

It is no secret that the arrival of AMD Ryzen has accelerated the launch of the new Intel Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors, despite this the most powerful models will not see the light until the end of the year so we will first see the options "More affordable".

Intel Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X will arrive from June

The new flagship Intel processor will be the Core i9-7980XE Extreme Edition with a total of 18 cores and 36 threads to be the most powerful domestic option on the face of the earth, this processor will arrive in October along with the 16 and 14 models cores to form the new highest range of the semiconductor giant. Intel has decided to launch its new HEDT processors in a total of three phases.

First, the 4, 6, 8 and 10-core models will be launched , which are the most interesting for the bulk of users and are those that are being manufactured with a greater number of units since they are expected to awaken a large interest in users. Secondly, the 12-core processors will be launched and finally, thirdly, the mentioned ones with 18, 16 and 14 cores will arrive.

The Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X with 4, 6, 8 and 10 cores will arrive on June 19, so very little is missing, although in-store availability is scheduled for June 26, therefore two are missing weeks approximately. These processors will come along with the new X299 platform to give them support as it is logical since they are not compatible with X99. Already entered in the month of August, the Core i9-7920X processor will arrive consisting of 12 physical cores and which will have an approximate price of 1200 euros plus taxes. Finally, in October the 14, 16 and 18-core models will arrive as we have said before.

AMD Threadripper in details: 16 Cores, 32 Threads, 64 Lanes PCIe Gen3 and Quad Channel

The Core i9-7960X will be priced at approximately $ 1, 700 and is the direct rival of the new AMD Threadripper platform as it has the same 16 cores as the new top of the range based on the Zen microarchitecture of the Sunnyvale, the Threadripper 1998X. This promising Intel processor includes no less than 16 MB of L2 cache along with 22 MB of L3 cache, a 165W TDP, and a quad chanel memory controller.
