Intel Unveils 28-core/56-thread HEDT Processor
It was only a matter of time before Intel maxed out the "Skylake-X" silicon on the client segment, by bringing its "Skylake XCC" (extreme core count) 700 mm² die on a client-segment package, and here we are. Without taking model names, Intel made it clear that it's launching a new client-segment 28-core/56-thread processor. The company didn't specify the processor's package, and we're doubtful if it's LGA2066 for the simple reason that the Skylake XCC die has 6-channel memory interface. Nevertheless, this processor is clocked at 2.70 GHz (nominal), and without revealing Turbo speeds, Intel managed to overclock it bench-stable to 5.00 GHz, at which it scored 7,334 nT Cinebench points. This product will launch in Q4-2018.

meanwhile casual user will get 11th year of 4-cores....
So if its a skylake-x based cpu, a new i9 model then?
No matter what, knowing intel prices. This thing gonna be very exspensive.
Nice to see tech moving forward on the top end, even if I'll probably never need anything close to this.
Well you can be doubtful, but be it for right reasons. All Skylake X chips have six memory channels, so in that PoV XCC does not differ from LCC and HCC. That die size is the thing that you might wan't to be doubtful, will it fit on LGA2066 socket.
But surely this will be 14nm++ Cascade Lake X, just because those higher clocks.
Asus has some untold news for us.
Can the first person ever, trying crysis(or any game) on this, at this spec shout us out i want to see that.
But won't because this Bs isn't happening any more than 10nm is for intel.
All my objective opinion obv.
Based in part on the fact it apears roboclocker got enlisted into intels pr team wtaf.
No facts or benches worth a shit either by intels own disclaimer tut.
I don't like Intel's new low facts high fiction pr team.
Besides, Intel could release i7 8700K to be 100-series compatible, but they didn't because the couldn't care less about their customers. Oh, they do care, but only when you need to buy a product and when they need to rip you off. As soon as you buy Intel's product, you'll get Intel's boot in your bottom.
I wonder how much power that thing consumed if a 7980xe @ 5Ghz already pulls 600+Watts from the wall.
