Intel is launching "on paper" the new processors, successors to the Skylake range, called Kaby Lake. It's not exactly sensational news, quite the opposite. We're just talking about a banal architecture refresh, with a 1-5% extra performance boost from one generation to the next, as Intel has taught us since AMD pretty much abandoned the fight.
What is interesting is an announcement that the next platform, after Kaby Lake, suggestively called Coffee Lake, would be more nervous because it will bring 6-core processors into the mainstream. We are waiting for the miracle with excitement, but unfortunately we will only see these processors in stores in 2018. It could have been even earlier, let's not forget that the Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processor, launched at the beginning of the year, had 22 cores + HT!
NVIDIA is also making a "paper" launch for the future Titan X based on Pascal technology. A new masterpiece for those with money, because it will cost 1200 USD in the US (or in Romania 1200 EUR + VAT), it will have a computing power of 11 TFLOPs, that is, approximately 100 times faster in effective computing power than an Intel i7-6700K. The technical details are as follows: GP102 chipset, 3584 Cuda cores, 1417 Mhz clock with boost to 1530 Mhz, 12GB GDDR5X at 10GHz and 480GB/s with a bus width of 384 bits.
And some news for hardware geeks, those of us who identify with them. Reddit user AJPelley posted details about a special creation, more precisely a build for a custom computer small form factor that still uses a configuration of 2 nVidia GTX 1080 video cards in SLI. Here's what the sample looks like:
