AMD Ryzen Rui Long continued to attack the city, Intel also played a spirit, set off a 'nuclear war', desktop fever to the 18 core, the mainstream also has 6 core, notebook high-performance advancing 6 core, thin and light are 4 core.
However, AMD seems to have fought blood. The mainstream of the desktop has already been popularized with 8 cores. The enthusiast-grade thread tearer has just released the second generation, and the number of cores has doubled to 32 cores!
Although Intel showed a 28-core at the Taipei Computer Show, and also used compressor cooling to run to full-core 5GHz, it was actually a server-class Xeon Xeon and it was not for the consumer market.
Before the Taipei Computer Show, we all thought that Intel would take the opportunity to formally introduce the 8 cores for the 8 generations of Coffee Lake-S Core family and bring the Z390 mainboard. However, there was no movement during the exhibition. No one company displayed the Z390 mainboard. Mentioned.
Intel also just said vaguely The Core S Series will be upgraded later this year , hints at the existence of the 8-core version.
According to the latest news from Japan's PCWatch, The eight-core Coffee Lake Refresh is expected to be released in September, and the Z390 motherboard will naturally appear simultaneously.
It has been determined before that the Z390 motherboard is compatible with the current eight-generation Core processors. The only problem is that the Z370 can be upgraded to eight new cores?
Also in the field of fever, Intel also mentioned that the Core X series will be upgraded later this year. According to the information obtained by PCWatch, Intel will advance to 22 core and 44 threads.
Obviously, this is a lot weaker than AMD's second-generation thread tearer, and it's worse than 10 cores.
In fact, Intel's current top Xeon server platform is a maximum of 28 cores, and subject to 10nm process difficulties, the next-generation server (Cascade Lake) will basically maintain the existing specifications, that is, Intel is unlikely to be short-term The number of cores suppressed AMD.
