Slight delay on Cannon lake it seems?

Seems Cannon Lake might be slightly delayed, not that its of much interest to enthusiasts as it seems the first edition of Cannon Lake will be lower powered stuff aimed at Laptops etc.

Also interesting to note that Intel has said architectural updates are going the way of server chips first, which got me thinking they probably see Zen as a real threat.
 
Couldn't care less to be honest. No doubt it will be yet another tiny performance gain as usual. I doubt if I will even think about upgrading until Coffee Lake brings 6 cores to the mainstream platform.
 
If Intel don't release anything new this year then this will play in to AMD's hands and allow them to gain market share.

Ryzen is given people something Intel has been starving them off. Multicore processors for cheaper prices.
 
I'm also on i7 920 :P
A shame my next chip will be bloated with spyware. Richard Stallman advocates neither AMD nor Intel btw.

Going to be honest but what are you talking about?

He says everything is spyware and tbh is full of rubbish in my opinion.
 
Ryzen has a long way to go before I would even consider them. Buggy as hell motherboards, ram compatibility problems, lack of motherboard choices and the biggest one for me is that gaming performance just isn't up to scratch. Yes there are patches being released but the main game I play is mainly single threaded and will most probably never be patched for Ryzen so IPC remains the single most important factor for me and that's not going to be this generation of Ryzen.
 
Ryzen Motherboards just seem to be so lacking in features compared to Intel boards. My 270 chipset board allows me to run 2 M2 drives at full speed and add a U.2 drive at full speed also, as well as having full speed USB 3.1 gen 2.

Ryzen boards look like they can run a single M2 drive at full speed and that's your lot as far as storage goes.

You can get Ryzen boards with two M.2 slots, but IIRC using both of them disables one of the PCI-E 16x slots like on your board.

I have to ask though, why would you want to use two M.2 SSDs AND a U.2 SSD? if you need space just buy a bigger drive instead of multiple small ones lol.

Makes sense since only one M.2 slot is supported directly by the CPU. The second would be using the chipset PCIe 2.0 lanes, which are normally used for USB and the non-primary PCIe slots.

People said the same about the stuff Snowden\Wikileaks published before they published it.

Its true, Intel Management Engine is effectively an OS that runs at a very low level below the OS on the CPU and has access to everything on the PC and can be accessed remotely. AMDs version is called Platform Security Processor. Both are effectively very low level backdoors.

Couldnt give a monkeys about these "Backdoor" things tbh, they dont infringe on my day to day life, i have absolutely zero to hide and if they manage to stop crazy morons blowing up innocent kids and stuff then im all for it.

Dunno why people get so hot over being "Spied" on etc, oh no im not using Win10 cos MS are spying on me, let me just sit infront of my Samsung TV with my Samsung mobile and browse facebook etc.

The amount of energy you must have to spend getting yourself "off the grid" by removing all the spyware functions on pretty much ANYTHING thats got an internet connection nowdays is mindboggling. Can think of many other ways i'd rather spend the time tbh lol

No PCI-E slots are disabled on my board, to use both M2 slots at full speed it disables a couple of of the SATA ports and the 3rd PCI-E slot runs at 2x rather than 4x, other than that there isn't any downgrade of any features.
 
Slight delay? Cannonlake was originally delayed until 2H 2017 so who knows when it was actually supposed to come out. It'll be well late by the time it arrives.
