If they offer LN2 cooling with the chip, maybe.
Can't see them releasing them at Xeon clocks as that would just look bad.

Thought, it was confirmed by someone at one of the motherboard vendors?
The 18 core stuff is going to be quite interesting, because to get high clocks, they will need to find the very best 18 core xeon's (which retail for $2700) and then sell them for $2000.
They will either be clocked low and rely on the turbo 3.0 of they will have very limited stock.
18 core is coming October, 12/14/16 between August and September.
Will just need a bios update to support them on motherboards bought between now and then.

I thought the same, but not 100% sure.
They are in the process of moving to 10nm so any 18 core, etc. CPU will likely be on that around 5-6 months time IMO.
(By all accounts they are moving some of the desktop parts to a mobile version on 10nm and putting some of the big stuff on 10nm but leaving many of the desktop parts on 14nm until a subsequent update around the middle of next year or so).
The 18 core chips will be virtually a paper halo part, they exist just so Intel can say "we make the biggest and best HEDT chip" but when looking for one you will find them in very few stores and almost always out of stock, there will be a very limited supply of them.

What time tomorrow does the NDA lift on Intel Core X series?
Has Intel ever launched a new node on HEDT/server line up? surely 10 nm will be on mainstream first.
Seems to be a bit of confusion over it - reports of both end of the year and 2H 2018 - from what the CEO said though it looks like they are going to shrink some of the existing mainstream desktop chips to mobile parts first as "pipecleaners" and then follow up top down on desktop with the high end parts arriving earlier and the normal desktop segment on the 2H 2018 schedule. Others saying the whole lot isn't until 2018 with the normal deployment schedule.
No way they will jump into massive chips for 10nm.
It is why the HEDT platform has usually launched a year after for any new architecture or node.
10nm yields will be poor to begin with. In fact that is likely why cannonlake is mobile chips only.

They wouldn't be jumping into massive chips first if they used the mobile parts to ramp up though (it would be kind of like AMD did with the RV740). I think Intel can do a fairly direct shrink from 14nm to 10nm as well unlike some of their previous jumps which required significant changes to the lithography.
Someone should point "Zornyan" towards this....................................looks like it's just what he needs for his editing
This is far too heat and power efficient for his needs.Someone should point "Zornyan" towards this....................................looks like it's just what he needs for his editing

seems slower than my old 5960x

considering this is 4ghz vs 4ghz, and most 5960x can go 500+mhz higher than that.
also a consideration is high refresh rate gaming which ryzen doesn't match up to Intel in and i like high fps when gaming. I'll stick with Intel thanks
How do you know it is just a bios update?
We have no idea which boards will support them. Making stuff up to make Intel look good once again.
huh, this is interesting new stepping /revision for ryzen coming soon

from the same people that showed the first ryzen benchmarks last december.
so basically they're going to fix the uncore/ram issues and charge everyone a premium to rebuy a non bugged cpu?

He doesn't give up lol. Even when shown facts he chooses to ignore them and prepare the next spout of BS.
His below post for example, mentions nothing of ram nor about "charging a premium". Its a simple stepping.
