AMD & Intel Roadmaps for 2018 Leaked
Bluechip computer, a German IT distribution company, has inadvertently spilled the beans on AMD and Intel's plans for the remainder of this year, shedding some more light on a number of products whose existence was still somewhat marred in fog. The information comes straight from a webinar Bluechip presented to its industry partners - a 30-minute presentation which made its way to YouTube.
The information gleaned is a confirmation, of sorts, of AMD's planned launch of their Z490 platform in June; the B450 chipset coming a little bit later, in July (an expected product, in every sense); and AMD's second-gen Threadripper, a known-quantity already, which should accompany a X399 platform refresh.
On Intel's side of the camp, some ill-kept secrets have apparently been confirmed: the launch of the company's Z390 chipset, for instance, is expected to happen in Q3 2018 - some time after Computex, which might mean a relatively sparse landscape when it comes to teases and new product announcements based on Intel's upcoming top of the line chipset. Oh, andthat unicorn of an 8-core Coffee Lake part is apparently being prepped for 4Q 2018, with silicon being moved to partner hands as early as June.

They've always done that, one countering the other - That's just what they do and how it goes.
Makes sense concerning the TR refresh since the Ryzen refresh has already been done.
W.T.F.
EDIT: edited to please the moderators for inappropriate language violation.
whats childish are kids fighting and saying "well they started it". it truly does not matter when both are being childish, but thats also the nature of business and trying to capitalize on someone else's success, its rampant here in the US, not uncommon for crap like this "childish" shit to happen
However anything "New" coming to light is of interest.
Personally i like it, sure lack of imagination but still, it surly make it much easier for me to get what i need when the time comes.
I wouldn't take this information too seriously, there are obvious mistakes here, like referring to Intel X299 as Broadwell-E. The upcoming Cascade Lake-X is also missing, even though we know it's coming soon.
Mistakes are not uncommon, even in official documentation from Intel. Does anyone remember the i7-3910K? It was mentioned in several official Intel sources, but was simply a typo of i7-3930K. The rumored Intel X399 for Skylake-X might also be a typo.
It's so blatant what they're trying to do, i don't understand why you purposely keep ignoring that...Actually i might know.
