Intel to launch new flagship Kaby Lake 7740K and 7640K CPUs in March 2017?

[jigger]

This makes me think that intel always keep their "top tier" i5 / i7 unreleased until if / when its needed.

Like with the 4690K and the 4790K.

It wouldn't surprise me that they had a better skylake i7 / i5 in reserve for if it was ever needed :/

I'm sure Intel could do better if needed, but the enthusiast market isn't what it was and the PC master race don't need better chips. Intel haven't give a monkeys about this end of the market for so long because it's a tiny market compared to everything else Intel operate in.

I'd be very surprised to see a response from Intel to any desktop chip.

Pretty damn interesting read, glad i havent bothered with another Intel Chip since my 4770k.

I suppose the good thing about intel cpu's only gaining a small amount of speed over the previous generation is that the consumer only has to upgrade every 5 years or so . so intel are shooting themselves in the foot I guess .
