June was the Taipei Computer Show. Last year, AMD and Intel all presented top feasts for the outside world. The thread tearer and Core X/i9 made their appearance on the same stage. This year, the duo will continue to exhibit. In terms of the situation, the second-generation thread tearer and 8-core Coffee Lake desktop CPU.
The German IT vendor Bluechip's 2018 update plan for the Intel/AMD chipset was exposed online and the 30-minute PPT demonstration confirmed the relevant information.
Among AMD aspects , Z490 motherboard is scheduled to be launched in June, B450 motherboard is scheduled to be released at the end of July.
Z490 had previously reported that the existing information on the paper is that it has several more PCIe channels than the X470, which is a high-end product of the AM4 interface.
However, according to the roadmap, Second generation thread tearer (based on 12nm Zen+ architecture) completes full platform deployment and waits until August , which means 'X499 (X399 Refresh)' to wait.
The B450 should be replaced by the B350, which is the popular AM4 interface mid-range chipset.
In addition, the A68 motherboard of the FM2+ interface is scheduled to retire before the fall season.
Intel here, It is scheduled to be launched in the third quarter of the Z90 motherboard, which also mentioned that based on the 8-core mainstream desktop CPU will go out of the project in June.
This mainstream 8-core product can be understood by using 'i7-8800K', that is, after Intel has banned 6 cores and 12 threads for the mainstream i7, it will once again reach the physical 8 core.
However, frankly speaking, Intel and AMD's motherboard names are becoming more and more indistinguishable.
