Intel Core "Kaby Lake" Desktop Processors First Wave Detailed
Intel is reportedly planning launch its 7th generation Core "Kaby Lake" processors by Q4-2016. Its desktop variants, built in the existing LGA1151 package, will be the third Intel micro-architecture built on the 14 nm process (after "Skylake" and "Broadwell" architectures). With this generation, Intel is planning to sub-classify LGA1151 into three categories, to ensure people don't try to install higher-powered CPUs on low-power machines.
These are LGA1151-Standard Power; LGA1151-Low Power; and LGA1151-Ultra Low Power. These are defined by the TDP of the packages. Standard Power chips run at 95W TDP, Low Power at 65W TDP, and Ultra Low Power at 35W TDP. There could be motherboards and machines that, depending on their VRM setup, completely shut out Standard Power or even Low Power chips.
Among the Standard Power Core "Kaby Lake" chips are the Core i7-7700K and the Core i5-7600K. The two feature unlocked base-clock multipliers, and are targeted at PC enthusiasts. The i7-7700K leads the pack with 4.20 GHz clock-speed, a staggering 4.50 GHz Turbo Boost frequency, 8 MB of L3 cache, and HyperThreading enabling 8 logical CPUs. The i5-7600K features 3.80 GHz clocks with 4.00 GHz Turbo Boost, 6 MB of L3 cache, but as characteristic of Core i5 quad-core chips, it lacks HyperThreading.
The 65-Watt "Low Power" LGA1151 is made up of four SKUs, all of which are quad-core. Leading the pack is the i7-7700 (non-K). This chip features lower clock speeds than the i7-7700K, with 3.60 GHz and an unknown Turbo Boost frequency; HyperThreading, and 8 MB of L3 cache. It's the same story with the i5-7600, which features 3.50 GHz clocks, and 6 MB of L3 cache. The i5-7500 is clocked at 3.40 GHz, and the i5-7400 at 3.30 GHz. Thankfully, Intel isn't designing a sub-3 GHz part like the i5-6400 in this sub-category.
The 35-Watt "Ultra Low Power" lineup includes the quad-core Core i7-7700T, featuring 2.90 GHz clocks, 8 MB of L3 cache, and HyperThreading; Core i5-7600T with 2.60 GHz clocks and 6 MB L3 cache; and the Core i5-7500T, with 2.40 GHz clocks.

You then came in talking about server cpu's to prove your point and that is off topic and it just changing the goal post.
AMD won't be releasing anything higher than 8c/16t on the Zen consumer chip so i'm not sure where you are getting it isn't the enthusiast grade release everything that I've seen posted so far says it is.
Lets just wait and see.
I just hope AMD will force Intel to offer a $300 6c/12t or 8c/16t CPU.
This way everybody wins. AMD fanboys will be able to buy something that is at least as fast as a 6700k, Intel fanboys will be able to upgrade their CPU. And the 95% of buyers that remain will just have bettter options.
AMD will sell performant CPUs again, and Intel will sell more because now we will have a reason to upgrade a 2500k.

Current 8c intel chip right now is very over priced
www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117645&cm_re=intel_6900-_-19-117-645-_-Product
$1,399.99
Even with a AMD releasing a competitive Zen chip that would be a $1000 drop in price and highly unrealistic.
AMD is still trying to make a profit so the question is what are they go price their 8c/16t chip at. If performance is on par why would they be charging way less?
I think the price performance parts everyone will be looking at will be the 4c/6c versions that AMD will most likely release.
But I agree, we won't have a sub $400 8 core CPU from intel before 2018.
AMD needs to have better performance/price than Intel, but it won't be alot better. I just hope it's enough to push Intel into offering a 6c CPU for the price of a 6700k.Even 80-85% of the intel price for the same performance will be fine.
people are overclocking skylake to 4.4-4.5 pretty stable, but turbo boost is different. in mathematics, with other components is not rounded off or particularized linearly. especially when dealing with
4.2ghz for the cpu
1.8-2.025ghz for new gpus
2400-3600ghz for new ram
2400+ is good for the GPU kind of except its internal frequencies can be 8k to 10k
so a factor of 4 is actually closer.
about 3 or 3.2 would be good for the cpu through the mobo bus frequency.
then wireless/wired data from 54mbps and 16-40gbps
well if you get the picture it seems like instability in a sense of clock formation. 4.5? already at 95w....
i dont know, in a way it seems like it is the processor to get 77 is actually translates to "christ" in gemetria or the spiritual master, and is also nietzche's rational thought number.
in other ways i dont think its finished yet.
Wut?
I apologies, but what is so enthusiastic about those CPUs that are basically the same as the ones launched 5 years ago?!?
