It's hard to keep in mind all the actual changes in AMD and Intel's processor plans, so PC Games Hardware's colleagues periodically update the "homemade road map", which allows a quick glance at to understand where these CPU makers will move in the coming months.
Recall that we are at the beginning of the second quarter, and the market already has processors from Intel Kaby Lake, as well as processors AMD Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 generations Summit Ridge. Until the end of this quarter, Intel can introduce LGA 2066-compliant processors for enthusiasts that will be divided into two categories: Kaby Lake-X for budget-conscious buyers of expensive motherboards, and Skylake-X .
Processors Bristol Ridge in Socket AM4 to retail networks, according to German colleagues, will reach the beginning of the third quarter, although they were offered in the segment of ready computers from the last half-year. Despite compatibility with motherboards, in which Ryzen processors work, representatives of the Bristol Ridge family use the older architecture of Excavator.
The output of hybrid processors AMD Raven Ridge in the same version, German colleagues are waiting not earlier than the end of the fourth quarter. But they are attributed to the graphics subsystem with the architecture of Vega, as well as the possibility of existence in the 16-nm version. In the first quarter of next year, Pinnacle Ridge processors with Zen + architecture (Zen 2) can be introduced.
As for the timing of the announcement of new Intel processors in the second half of the year, German colleagues do not cherish illusions. If 10-nm Cannon Lake and will appear at the end of the fourth quarter, then exclusively in the mobile segment, and desktop 14-nm Coffee Lake will be released early next year. However, Chinese sources recently announced that the release of desktop processors Coffee Lake-S will begin this year. Perhaps it's about different events, because the mass production
of processors begins before their official announcement in order to create a sufficient supply of finished products. Related Products :
