...As for the 14nm-based Coffee Lake-based processors, Intel will initially release several K-series Core i7/i5/i3 processors and its Z370 chipsets in August, and will release more CPUs as well as H370, B360 and H310 chipsets at the end of 2017 or early 2018.

Thank you AMD. Maybe next they'll start using solder again instead of pigeon poop between the die and ihs.

Looks like AMD finally forced a hand, showing us how much Intel was milking us and sandbagging. Yeah yeah I know they had no reason to cause no competition blah blah but still. No regrets with Ryzen, Intel and nvidia can suck it now, I know it won't make a dent in their market share but they won't be getting my money again, once was enough.

You miss the point, thanks to AMD everyone finally get a 6-8 cores mainstream CPU.

Do you know what that means, the 11 years monopoly of Quad Core era is dead. We have to thanks AMD for that. Not just about buying cheaper Intel cpu.

Volta coming in at Q3 2017 is probably the reason as well, if Vega is really good.

Either way 2017 is really the game changer year for PC Hardware

well frankly we have to thank that an engineer became CEO of AMD and officially recognised that AMD needs to become competitive in performance

as far as I know there is still only that leak from benchlife

there's no confirmation of 6 cores

it only says they come sooner

In case you were not aware, the stock Intel TIM is not that bad. The main issue is mediocre contact between the IHS and the PCB. De-lid, use glue at the corners instead of thick silicone and watch the temps go down tremendously.

I was indeed talking about the mainstream part.

They probably will just soldered and stem this PR nightmare once and for all.

Again thanks to AMD they no longer have the power to ignore that.

I'm very aware, take a look at my signature. I've been delidding these things since the 3770K.

Hang on...

Is Intel doing anything but sit on their swing chairs twiddling their fingers?

Jesus Christ this day should be remembered for the rest of the times!

They probably won't. Just like nVidia, people will buy their stuff no matter how crap it is or how expensive it is.

Note that I'm not saying it's crap or expensive (well, it is expensive, that I am saying).

Pigeon poop might be a good thermal conductor. Didn't mean to offend the board.

It was rumored for almost 2 years that it will arrive in Q2 2017. So it is not a very big surprise. "soon" could be just august instead of september. And could be just with enough stock instead of flooding the market like previous times.

But isn't Coffee Lake just another Skylake refresh?

And how can they fit 6C/12T on it? Still 14nm? By removing graphics?

They are not doing it for charity.
And blame it on AMD for not giving intel a good enough competition for almost the last decade.
When you don't have competition, you can do whatever you want. And you can see that in every single place in every market.

Ha!

If only it worked like that.

I've lost the count of people that buy nVidia and Intel because there is a sticker on them that says Intel or nVidia.
