review sites when the NDA is lifted on the release day.
Ars is reporting the new m3 in the MacBook to be Core m3-7Y32 (but with a slightly faster base clock). So it seems to be boosted a bit with a slightly higher TDP.Could be an offlabel model that is either binned a bit better or slightly higher TDP.
Intel(R) CPU 0000 @ 3.10GHz (6C 12T 3.1GHz/4.2GHz, 2.7GHz IMC/3.9GHz, 6x 256kB L2, 12MB L3

Coffeelake based 6/12 12MB spotted. Still no CPUID in this, so most likely the first stepping.
Finally an entry that looks like a real desktop product. Confirms 6C/12T for Coffee Lake-S and 12MB L3. Looks like an early stepping, final SKUs should clock better.
Roughly the same clock speeds as the 7700 is all that is needed, imo. 14nm++ will help a little and the extra cores is what will do the trick of bumping multi-thread performance for the desktop line. 7700K will be far behind in multi-thread. The complaints have always been about the number of cores, not about single thread performance. If they get single thread close to the 7700K, that will be just right, imo.Yeah, if they want this SKU to fly, 4.2GHz max single core turbo isn't going to do it. They need >4.5GHz, otherwise 7700K is still probably a better choice.
It's just trolling, though.I knew this was coming
Are they actually selling RAID "keys" for $99? Somebody please tell me that part was trolling and not accurate.
They would literally be stupid not to.
So I guess they were stupid for every other platform they sold until this one, and just 'wised up'?
I'm at a loss for why anyone would think this is a good idea when their competitor already offers a cheaper and more robust platform with these same features, and doesn't charge extra for them.
Threadripper doesn't have a PCI-e chipset, so all PCI-e already comes directly off of the SoC. So we actually do know that they do have an equivalent feature (and more of it), and we can surmise they won't charge for it because they never have before (on Ryzen, which has the same feature) and never said they would.

And if the Dongles Raid keys do well, i have a sad feeling intel will dongle overclocking on motherboards, and then dongle SLI, or make us buy Deluxe edition motherboards with all the DLC's unlocked.
Another milestone for 10nm: Cannon Lake on track and we’ve now taped in Ice Lake, our 2nd-generation 10nm product.
Seems a little at odds with the rumors about Intel's 10nm and the rumors about Intel's demise...https://twitter.com/intelnews/status/872844756845379584
Ice Lake launching in H2-2018 is a real possibility, maybe as soon as August-September (1 year after Coffee Lake-S 'K'). Also heard they taped in recently, not only 'now'.
w00t! I just ordered one of these Kaby Lake Y m3 1.2/3.0 GHz MacBooks. I'm so glad I didn't get a 2016 refurb. This should represent a 150% speed boost over my Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz P8400.Ars is reporting the new m3 in the MacBook to be Core m3-7Y32 (but with a slightly faster base clock). So it seems to be boosted a bit with a slightly higher TDP.
But the bigger point here is that last year's model is the 6Y30, with the speeds in the MacBook at 1.1 GHz / 2.2 GHz Turbo. Now it's 7Y32 at 1.2 GHz / 3.0 GHz Turbo. That represents an impressive 36% increase in max Turbo speed or an increase of 800 MHz, going from Skylake to Kaby Lake.
Also, this means that MacBook m3 in 2017 is faster than the 2016 m5, and is almost as fast as 2016 m7.
This isn't a thread just about X299. It's the general Skylake / Kaby Lake thread.I don't mean to be rude, and I could've easily missed the point, but what has ^^ to do with X299? Aside from that, congrats on your purchase
