Intel to launch 6 core Coffee Lake-S CPUs & Z370 chipset 5 October 2017

Okay, name one AMD laptop platform that out performed and out sold Intel's Centrino range from the time-frame you referenced, the early 2000s?

What? Centrino was a close loop standard of Intel parts not a CPU. You had to have a network chip, chipset, IPG and probably some other stuff AMD didn't even sell.

AMD deserve praise for being AWOL for 8 years? Now that they can just about match Intel with 8 month old CPU's, ?

Exactly they have ryzen from beyond the grave and have started to regain market share again. Houdini would himself be impressed and so would Nixon if you get my drift ;).

@jigger Centrino was the brand they used for their mobile platform in the early 2000s, it included Pentium M.

Centrino Platform is a brand name of Intel Corporation which represents its Wi-Fi and WiMAX wireless computer networking adapters. Previously the same brand name was used by the company as a platform-marketing initiative. The change of the meaning of the brandname occurred on January 7, 2010.

The old platform-marketing brand name covered a particular combination of mainboard chipset, mobile CPU and wireless network interface in the design of a laptop. Intel claimed that systems equipped with these technologies delivered better performance, longer battery life and broader wireless network interoperability than non-Centrino systems.

The new product line name for Intel wireless products is Intel Centrino Wireless

Just about any laptop that Dell sold at the time, because they nearly all had AMD cpu's until Intel managed to bribe them to take Centrino's instead.....................................maybe you should look and read other threads on here ?

Edit: that is bribe Dell, not AMD lol :D

I did specifically ask what AMD platform beat Centrino sales and performance wise which I had already mentioned used Pentium M.
Can anybody think of an AMD mobile platform from the early 2000s? Simply meaning CPU + chipset as opposed to Intel's platform they didn't require a specific WiFi chip.

What platform do you think AMD had to offer?

8 cores on 10nm is very interesting.

Perhaps it might be worth skipping coffee lake Gavin.

A Eurocom representative over on the notebook review forums has stated that Intel's Z390 chipset will support CPUs with up to 8 cores and 16 threads, suggesting that Intel's upcoming desktop flagship, the i7 8700K, will be made obsolete within the next year thanks to a newer chipset and a larger 8-core CPU.

This suggests that Z390 will offer more than just a feature set upgrade over Z370, especially given the fact that the same representative stated that they would be skipping Intel's upcoming Z370 chipset.

Also for those still not quite sold on the idea, I think it's safe to say multi core is a formality. Now Intel has finally got on board their is no reason for software developers to not take advantage of it.
 
It probably is worth skipping Coffee Lake if you can manage for a year until Cannonlake comes out.
Their 10nm process is a pretty significant jump based on their marketing material (heh).
Z390 also seems to be the chipset that's going to integrate wifi, bluetooth and usb 3.1 gen 2, so it might be a pretty neat platform.
 
They had the Mobile Athlons and Mobile Semprons back in the day, but I don't remember if they sold well or not. They switched to the Turion brand name later on.

Yep totally agree I think many said this a little while back that Z370 is a dead end platform.

Bring on Ice Lake and Zen2 it's going to be exciting.
