Looks like we need a new thread to discuss all cpus together.
Here we are.

To kick things off, I saw cannon Lake is delayed on wccftech.com? Is this true? February 18 would be disastrous for Intel. Intel needed that Canon Lake 6 core mainstream winning processor.

What's up with that?

Cannon Lake for desktop was cancelled. Coffee Lake w/ 6 cores is coming in August.

Yeah I think Coffee Lake is still on track for Aug while the Kaby Lake Refresh is delayed to next year. This whole x299/kaby lake refresh/coffee lake is just one big giant mess right now.

I don't know a couple technews videos say it might not be available till February now, like Intel was trying to pull it ahead, and now are pushing it back again.

I dont think they can keep up with 14nm+ production to supply both HEDT and mainstream, if they rushed SKL-X out of the door, CFL-S has to come out faster as well.

Agree. They may not always be wrong, but they rarely bring anything new that's right. Usually best to ignore.

Still if 6 core CL is end of the year something is messed up inside Intel and not having the full SKL-X till next year as well but announcing a full lineup this early.

As well as those investing in KL this year wanting CL 6 core to plug in. Looks to be another Intel circuit change even though the same socket count as this years KL release. That's if Gigabyte is correct.

Intel Coffee Lake K models coming August and then rest of the stack coming 2018 Q1. Bunch of Coffee Lake news today might have some merit in an unintended way, that Intel K processors aren't exactly fit for general users.

We have a WEEK OLD slide showing CFL-S both August and in Q1 18, why this is open to debate i have no idea.

Mmm. Coffee Lake. Maybe, if the 6C/12T is miraculously price-competitive with Ryzen, I might get one, just to have both platforms as a comparison point.

Typical, and expected. A shame for those who already bought into the KL platform though if ends up true. My wife has SB I5 2500K and her mobo supports up to IB 3770k or something and if Intel makes CL other than current z170/270 KB she will get Ryzen like I did myself.

Eh, this is Intel. CL will require z370 or whatever chipset. KabyLake-X is just a joke at this point. Though it will be interesting to see people attempt to justify their purchase for that extra bit of mhz.
