So this is delayed from the August release?
The following is not meant to you in particular but to anyone who has asked what I made bold in the quote. I chose to make the reply stand out so that's easy to find for anyone else curious about this so it's not an offense
There is NO delay. CFL-S will very likely get an October hard launch. CFL was brought forward from 2018, meaning that every date before that is still a quicker launch than originally planned. The August date came from an Intel slide which now looks to be the announcement/paper launch date, WE, the people of earth, suspected an August hard launch; nothing was said or leaked by Intel itself. I cannot make it any clearer than this, and one doing its own bit of research would have led to the exact same conclusion laid out above.
I doubt EMIB will debut with Ice Lake. It'll arrive with the 7nm gen, IMHO.
Wishing it was different, I have to admit you're probably right :/ It also makes sense from a developing standpoint since they'll need a few years designing it and although they have started (these things start quite a few years before we even hear about it), they are still adding more people to the research, as per Intel's job listings.
