Engadget did an interview with Gregory Bryant who is general manager of intel client computing group. In the interview Gregory discussed and outlined some of the strategy and his vision for the future of computing which he would be presenting at computex.

However one thing stood out from the article possibly regarding the next hedt flagship chip:

"While he couldn't get into specifics, Bryant said we can expect an even more impressive chip announcement than last year's 18-core."

Could we expect the next hedt flagship cpu to have even moarrr cores!!!:o.

I wonder what would be the implications for socket 2066 . Would it be able to hold such 'powerful cpu' or would intel introduce the ultra hedt socket in the form of their current purley platform socket 3647 as rumoured.
 
Yeah I think the prospect of 7nm 24 core zen 2 threadripper in 2019 has definitely spooked them. Given their current troubles with 10nm it wouldn't be surprising if intel goes all out on hedt too.

I could see them adapting a 22 core Xeon - but not much else tbh

The thing is that 22 core and upwards can only be found on the xcc die which iirc is around 698mm square. I don't think it would fit on 2066 pcb as the 7980xe die around 480mm square just fits with not much further room.

They would have to use larger socket than 2066 to go beyond 18 cores on current 14nm.
 
Completely and utterly pointless until they stop attaching the IHS with toothpaste and forcing customers to de-lid therefore invalidating their warranty.
