We'll see. A particular Intel insider didn't receive the reviewer's guide up until yesterday, which I find strange if NDA is up today. But TBH, if reviews are out today I wouldn't expect them to show up before Intel's PC Gaming Show @ E3 2017 starts (in 2 hours and 21 minutes). Also, this:

:( :( :( If today's date was wrong I admit I'll be sorely disappointed purely by living towards the expectation of being covered in data right now. If the guide came in yesterday I'm betting the NDA will lift 19 June. :( :( :(

er8auer posted about this in the video comments as well. Based on what he said so far:

- 4.6-4.8 GHz average with a proper cooler (no delid)
- 4.8 GHz with a good chip + Corsair (280 mm) AIO (no delid)
- 4.9 GHz with a very very good chip (no delid)
- 4.7-4.8 GHz average with delid
- 5.0 GHz with a good chip + Corsair (280 mm) AIO (delid)
- 5.1 GHz with a very very good chip + custom water (delid)

But not AVX stable as far as i understood and temps in the 90ties. So for realistic usage you need to drop down another 100-200 mhz to be sure and avoid stuff like silent data corruption.

According to Sweepr, we MAY see reviews in 5 minutes.

*checks watch*, *hits refresh*, *checks watch*, *hits refresh*......

No reviewer's guide in the hands of my source, so now I doubt it. :p

Ps: Who's watching the PC Gaming Show?

Ok, so here are the important announcements from today:

  • Intel’s Core X-series processors, from 4C to 10-core CPUs, will be available for pre-order beginning on June 19 and will ship to consumers the following week
  • Pre-orders for the 'mega-tasking' 12C, 14C, 16C and 18-core processors also kicking off at the same time
  • Intel showed a live demo of the 18-core, 36-thread Core i9-7980XE processor running an intensive VR-gaming, streaming and green-screen rendering workload spitting out to Twitch - 36 threads running at around 70-80% load across the board
  • Intel confirmed 12-core Intel Core i9-7920X starts shipping in August, and Core i9-7940X, Core i9-7960X and 18-core Intel Core i9-7980X Extreme Edition start shipping in October


Intel have just announced at their first ever E3 press conference the X-series processors will be up for pre-order starting next week.

A great CPU needs a good GPU too. Check out our pick of the best graphics cards of today.

Gregory Bryant, Intel's head of PC gubbins, said the first Core i7 X-series chips and the 10-core Core i9 will be available next week, with pre-orders for the 'mega-tasking' (bleurgh) 12-, 14-, 16- and 18-core processors also kicking off at the same time.

While the more mainstream, though still pricey, CPUs will be on sale in June, the big chips will be hitting the retailers from August through to October this year. You know, should you want to drop $2,000 on a CPU.

Intel did though show the first live demo of the 18-core, 16-thread Core i9 7980XE processor running an intensive VR-gaming, streaming and green-screen rendering workload spitting out to Twitch. They showed all 36 threads running at around 70-80% load across the board. Yeah, I did say it was intensive...

At the PC Gaming show at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) on June 12, Intel senior vice president Gregory Bryant announced that Intel would begin taking preorders for the Core i7 X-series chips and the ten-core Core i9 7900X the week of June 20. Intel will launch the 12-core Core i9-7920X, the 14-core Core i9-7940X, the 16-core Core i9-7960X and the 18-core Core i9-7980XE from August through October, with exact dates and pricing to be disclosed later. (Intel confirmed separately that the 12-core i9-7920X will launch in August, and the 18-core Core i9-7980XE in October.)

The Asus guy failed really hard. He has spread FUD.

Intel (1, 2) says pre-orders start next week. And we already know June 27 is the estimated date of arrival from ShopBLT for X299 MBs. So reviews next week (June 19) and retail availability just like we previously expected in June 26/27.

Intel also clarified Core i9-7920X launches in August and Core i9-7980XE launches in October. Core i9-7940X and Core i-7960X are August-October.

So, how will one go about "pre-ordering" next Monday? Direct from Intel. Is that a normal thing?

Well at least we can finally put to rest the BS that 18C was a response to TR, no way they could have responded this quickly on LGA2066.

Moving on more important things, no info on the specs yet?

So official news , 4-10 cores , 4-10 cores , threadripper , 4-XX cores , 4-10summer-12-18cores later. You honestly believe they would ship more than 12 cores if Threadripper was not there? Having the ability to do 18 cores does not mean intel will ship 18 cores. Don't get me wrong why on earth would they push the market forward if they can just have the design ready for next year. AMD litterly was off the table completely , what i would do if i had no competition and shareholders wanting only profit.

UPDATE : Also why does this entire discussion sound like intel first time ever 18core , you could have bought xeon for the last x-number of years.

Anyway what we expected from computex :).

Unless someone actually has some NEW facts, how about we don't argue over this.

Do you seriusly think they can get sku out of thin air on a blink of an eye? On a platform that is does not longer shares server skus? And the whole "12C thing" was just stupid, they whould have never only sold the 12C MCC die at X, when they can sell 14C at X+$, 16C at X+$$ and 18C at X+$$$. After they did EVERY attempt to make LGA2066 not a threat to Xeon.

You can speculate all you want about how early leaks were incorrect or not based on... fill this here. But the release of the 12 to 18C on time competely kills that FUD.

Im not going to comment futher on this issue. Closed case. /Period.
