According to leaked slides, 3rd quarter. Knowing AMD its probably going to be in September.

What's the point? Crossfire and SLI are all but dead, and certainly no one is using more than 2 cards anymore. I guess you could fill those slots with Intel 750 AICs, if you needed more than 3 fast m.2 NVMe drives, but other than that, this is just marketing aimed at overgrown boys.

Intel's HEDT platform isn't intended for everyone. The Intel HEDT line is typically based on Intel Xeon architecture and that too isn't intended as a catchall, be-all product for all consumers. Most people are better served with the mainstream processors.

There is nothing wrong with Kabylake and a lot of people are very happy (and rightfully so) with a Core i7 7700K. Assuming they aren't hit with the temp spikes we have been hearing about lately and told by Intel not to OC.

I am patiently waiting for the release of their next HEDT platform. I wanted to get the 6850K but i'd rather wait for their next offering. My I7 4770K can still manage to do most things but trying to run multiple virtual machines is taking its toll. Its been serving me extremely well for the past 4 years though.

I'm looking forward to replacing my trusty old i7-3930K myself.
