Intel 7th-generation CPUs get launch window

Intel has teased a new generation of Core CPUs, along with a launch window.

Going to be like R7k+ for a i7 7700k based on the trend. Still rocking a 3770k due to this.

Still running a i7 2600k (Sandy) on one system and i7 3770 (Ivy) on my other.... still no way the cost of upgrading can be justified...

My i7-930 Bloomfield pc is still running fine.

 

[Mant1s]

is this not click bait? omw, I was expecting to see an actual! date for the release

 

[SykomantiS]

Wasn't Skylake just released?
Bloody hell...

Uhmm, release date and launch windows are two different things.

My i7-930 Bloomfield pc is still running fine.

Upgraded from the i7-950 due to CPU dying after 6 years, was worth the money.

Yeah I think in October with the Surface Pro 4. Still brand new. But CPUs seem to be following the smartphone trend, you MUST release something every 6 months/1 year whether there's any improvement or not.

Yawn that's Intel for you just keep on releasing new cpu's. Love my AMD <3

 

[Magnum]

Hope you have some Burn bandages. These guys are going to flame.

 

[ponder]

Nothing to worry about, there have been no major leaps in intel cpu architecture performance for some time now.

Wasn't Skylake just released?
Bloody hell...

Was thinking the same thing, wtf.

That's why the fastest AMD CPU is slower than the 8 year old Intel i7 960 :erm:

AMD doesn't even feature in the top 25 consumer desktop chips.

 

[blaaislaai]

will maybe upgrade when the 8th gen is here, currently still on the 4th. And working well.

 

[DominionZA]

Also still on 4th. See no reason to upgrade just yet.
