It appears that the specifications for Intel’s new Skylake-X and Kabylake-X CPUs have been leaked online. According to the leak, Intel is preparing two CPUs based on the Kabylake-X architecture and four CPUs based on the Skylake-X architecture.
These six new CPUs are: Core i7-7640K, Core i7-7740K, Core i9-7800X, Core i9-7820X, Core i9-7900X and Core i9-7920X.
Intel aims to release all but the most powerful CPU, the Core i9-7920X, next month. On the other hand, the Core i9-7920X is scheduled for an August release.
The Intel Core i7-7640K will feature 4 CPU cores, will not support Hyper Threading, will come with 6MB of L3 cache, 16 PCIe Lanes, will be clocked at 4.0Ghz and will be turbo-boosted at 4.2Ghz.
The Intel Core i7-7740K will feature 4 CPU cores, will support Hyper Threading, will come with 8MB of L3 cache, 16 PCIe Lanes, will be clocked at 4.3Ghz and will be turbo-boosted at 4.5Ghz.
The Intel Core i9-7800X will feature 6 CPU cores, will support Hyper Threading, will come with 8.25MB of L3 cache, 28 PCIe Lanes, will be clocked at 3.5Ghz and will be turbo-boosted at 4.0Ghz.
The Intel Core i9-7820X will feature 8 CPU cores, will support Hyper Threading, will come with 11MB of L3 cache, 28 PCIe Lanes, will be clocked at 3.6Ghz and will be turbo-boosted at 4.5Ghz (via the new Turbo-Clock 3.0 tech that it will support).
The Intel Core i9-7900X will feature 10 CPU cores, will support Hyper Threading, will come with 13.75MB of L3 cache, 44 PCIe Lanes, will be clocked at 3.3Ghz and will be turbo-boosted at 4.5Ghz (via the new Turbo-Clock 3.0 tech that it will support).
Last but not least, Intel’s most powerful CPU, the Core i9-7920X, will feature 12 CPU cores and will support 24 threads (thanks to Hyper Threading). It will also feature 16.5MB of L3 cache and 44 PCIe Lanes. Unfortunately, its clock frequencies have not been leaked as of yet.

amd just lost again
Who said that ? if they are at the same price and more powerful that will be true, however i don’t think
They have not also you thumbed up your own comment, dishonest so damn dishonest of you, it is an unspoken rule of disqus man and you broke it.
Dude who the hell cares? The ones who actually won are us customers. Now we got more choices. And hopefully this time Intel will actually reduce their price.
“And hopefully this time Intel will actually reduce their price.”
why should they reduce there prices? if you cant afford it, you dont need it.
Wow,so you want overpriced CPUs. You’re the first I’ve seen who actually is for the overpricing.
if by overpriced you mean well performing and top of the line, then yes kiddo. sorry i can afford good pc parts
Haha you thumbed yourself, what a loser LOleeololleo
that sounds kinky
isn’t it server platform? naples right
AMD not lost, they actually win.
Intel feels big pressure from AMD that’s way there are releasing (to be release) cpu’s like crazy, only to drop big wave on market, and fill every price segment.
Intel was always going to release new CPU’s mid this year regardless of AMD, Its been on their roadmap for a while now.
This wasn’t supposed to be released until next year.
If the pricing is right it will be one hell of a counter by Intel.
Intel and fair pricing? Yeah not gonna happen….
Probably.
Pricing fair means minimum profit, and no corporation will settle for that
of course not. you need more than minimum if you want to invest
Correct but you can’t tell that to the communist in the comment section here. Everything should cost pennies
Intel and Nvidia…both are overpriced!
Neither company is forcing you to buy their products.
Im still on a i7 3770k.
If the i9 7820x have a good pricing i might finally upgrade
If you mostly play games it’s a huge waste of money.
Thats actually very true, even i7’s arent needed for gaming machines, theyre nice for sure, i have a 4790k myself but theyre definitely not necessary.
Sadly my GPU is starting to feel it’s age, but even that still impresses me to this day. It’s 4 years old and still runs new games medium-low at 1080p 60fps.
Medium-low 1080 60? Dude that’s not your CPU, is your GPU!
i am still on i7 930 1st gen
still kinda rumor-ish
My R5-1600x has all the CPU power I could want for just now, so I’m not particularly mad I didn’t wait for Intel’s response here. That said, I’m glad Intel have had a bit of a fire lit under their butts. Intel’s lineup was looking dull as hell until now.
Yeah, I really do have to wonder what business they have putting a quad-core piece with no hyperthreading in the i7 lineup. That’s… literally an i5 :/
How did AMD make Intel do anything when they’ve had 6 and 8 core cpu’s in their high end desktop line for years no? And 10 and higher core cpu’s in the Xeon line for years as well. This is nothing new. Current 12 core (and higher) Xeon’s will work in any x99 motherboard right now. I guess AMD cause that to huh?
I wonder if these will support the X99 motherboards. Not that I am particularly excited about these processors running a 6800k I should be good for 3-5 years depending on how competitive they get..
Knowing Intel it’s probably going to be a new chipset and mobo.
Intel just needs to combine their high-end with their mainstream platform and then sell 6 cores for the price of a 7700K. Turn I5’s into quad cores with HT and turn I3’s into quad cores.
Why? There making billions with separate high end and mainstream cpu’s. Until their sales decline the two platforms will remain.
24 threads?!!! Holy sh**…but ofcourse it will cost a f***in fortune!!!
even the i5-2390T has hyperthreading. and some i5 mobile cpu. i’m really confusing with intel now
more like Pentium
wonder what the prices will be i was hoping for an affordable 6 core 12 thread intel chip in the $300 – $399 range…
Jumping up in number is just CHILDISH. AMD was already kind of immature going on collision course by calling their CPUs 3,5 and 7 but Intel now calling an i5 an “i7” to have the bigger numbers is literally behaviour you would expect from a child. Of course, I know this stuff is thought up by marketing folks based on research and the childishness is really in the customer, the companies merely target it. Hardware names are a depressing benchmark for human intelligence.
Any way, I think this move will backfire. Abandoning the strong “i5” brand and instead releasing an “i7” with no hyperthreading is short-sighted. This gen might sell okay for them but after that they should probably switch name schemes entirely. Problem with that: Aside from core count and slight clock increases they seem to be at a dead end. A new name will disappoint if the corresponding hardware doesn’t offer a major increase in performance.
pc gaming don’t need new processors….But needs exclusive!
