Looks like this is Intel's response to AMD's 6 core consumer product chip. Did they take a page out of their Xeon line?

It sure does look like it, shame to see that the clock speed is not increasing at all...

Imagine the heat spread if they did. 18 cores wowzers.

Well yes. At this point we can be certain that core speed will never rise again with current technology, but core count will be going up.

Not in my lifetime. I'd rather have new plugs, guitars, strings, you know, the important things

That's just too much coin.

I wonder if it's possible though that they will get cost-effective? I guess the only way is people buy them, right?

@Heat: It's 6 of one or half-dozen of the other. If you OC your system to get the better clock speeds, you run into similar issues.

@Clock speed: Well, my 4770k is 3.5ghz so having this many cores should lay-waste (popgun vs nukes) anyways.

i think so intel responded i9 release to AMD's threadripper announcement and epyc server processor not for ryzen

Intel i9 Skylake
