AnandTech forum showed interesting details about the future Intel Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors.
So, to identify the older production solutions, under which the models Skylake-X line will be advanced, Intel establishes the Core i9 brand. The flagship line - 12-core Core i9-7920X processor - will remain on the sweet and will be released in August, while the other three Core i9 models are the 10-core Core i9-7900X, the 8-core Core i9-7820X and the 6-core Core i9 -7800X - will start shipping in June. A summary table with the expected characteristics of the novelties, which can be seen below, was presented by the authors of the VideoCardz site.
As follows from the published data, the three older Skylake-X models will support the third state in turbo mode or Turbo Clock 3.0. Data on the frequencies of the 12-core model are unknown, but the 10-core and 8-core models will be able to automatically increase the frequencies to 4.5 GHz. Base Core i9 frequencies will not exceed the 4 GHz mark, although Kaby Lake-X models with four cores will begin their life path from a base frequency of 4 GHz or higher. Kaby Lake-X models will remain under the name Core i7. Under the brand Core i8, we recall, debuting 14-nm processors Intel Coffee Lake.
Thermal packages Kaby Lake-X will limit the level of 112 watts. Thermal packages Skylake-X / Core i9 will not exceed 160 watts. The amount of L2 cache Skylake-X is expected to quadruple than its predecessors and will reach 1 MB. Also there will be support for AVX512 and DDR4-2666 memory (four channels). Models Kaby Lake-X will support only two memory channels. Related Products :
