Intel will be refreshing coffeelake until well into 2021, they are expending 14nm production and retracting 10nm production while their road map is Sunny Cove 2019, Willow Cove 2020, Golden Cove 2021, all 10nm according to wikichip.
Intel will release a 10 core Coffeelake, which will be DOA given AMD's 12 core let alone the 16 core AMD will release the day after.
Coffeelakes 'Ring Bus' architecture limits the CPU to 10 cores, its one reason AMD invented a new way of cranking up core counts, a way that actually "scales"
They will release the 5Ghz all core KS to claw back some of the losses against Zen 2 with their IPC deficit, which is about 10%, Intel have a 10% IPC deficit to AMD... < it was fun writing that
On the Desktop IMO Intel are screwed for the next couple of years, if not for good because AMD are racing ahead at pace now, I don't think Intel care so much about Desktop now, they are loosing and loosing badly on server performance, performance per watt and price, they will put everything into getting 10nm working and ready for server because they don't need the clock speeds there, 10nm isn't giving it, much less even than AMD's 7nm Zen 2, but they need the yields ramped up but even then still with monolithic dies they ain't catching AMD, just look toward reducing the total humiliation by Zen 2 EPYC.
if you have a 144hz dispolay u want 144 fps
As you’ve nicely confirmed! The best thing about Ryzen 3000 series is I can drop one into my x470 mobo and I can’t wait until either the 3900x becomes available or even the 3950x. A few FPS wont matter now to most people given its other benefits.
i'll let you know in 10...
