Intel to launch cannonlake in 2017 to compete with Ryzen

It seems that AMD's Ryzen processors are disrupting Intel's initial plans, which is already preparing its new Cannonlake processor architecture, which is confirmed to arrive in late 2017, after a long season of rumors and speculation.

Intel does not want surprises with Ryzen, Cannonlake in 2017

Intel is already talking about the Cannonlake architecture, which will come to replace the recent Kaby Lake.

During the last hours, Intel made a series of statements where it is confident that Kaby Lake will be enough to stand up to the new AMD processors. We have not heard this type of statement before from Intel, which shows that Ryzen is closely followed by the silicon giant, and if not, they should.

AMD Ryzen will arrive in quad, six and eight core configurations that could put Intel in serious trouble if confirmed by the many benchmarks that have been coming out, which put Ryzen processors on par with Intel's Skylake and Kaby Lake. In fact, it is said that the maximum price of Ryzen will be around $ 720, competing in that price range to an i7-6950X that costs above $ 1600 today.

Probably the fiercest fight between AMD and Intel will be with processors in the $ 300 - $ 400 range. With the launch of the i7 7700k for $ 350, AMD will have to have a Ryzen processor that exceeds or matches its performance at a lower price to do damage.

Cannonlake processors should bring noticeable improvements over Kaby Lake and give Intel a break from its competitor.
