Further Details on Intel X299 HEDT Skylake X, Kaby Lake X, and Coffee Lake S

Here is another overview of what is coming from Intel. From what I can figure, many of the newer details regard Coffee Lake S, which will be launching around August alongside the brand-new Z370 chipset. The 6-core i7 versions will be providing 50% more cores/threads/cache than the current lineup, and the i5 chips will have support for hyperthreading. On the enthusiast side, the X299 chipset reportedly allows only single DIMM per channel unlike X99 (two DIMMs). Also noted is that 10nm CPUs are launching in 2018.



Along with the HEDT platform, details concerning Intel’s Coffee Lake S (mainstream) family of processors have also been revealed from Intel’s Partner conference. There are a ton of details shared on the new Intel CPU families, most of which we already know but some are new. During the conference, Intel mentioned that the new HEDT lineup would be called “Core X Series” so it’s not known whether they will use the Core i7, Core i9 or Core X branding on the new processors. There will be a total of four Skylake X processors and two Kaby Lake X processors.
