#106871 — Semi-OT: Intel Core i9 processores??

Are these what are powering the "iMac Pro"??

From PCAuthority.com.au ...

    Is Intel about to unleash a new range of Core i9 processors?
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Leaked slide suggests new high-power 7900-series part is in the
    pipeline.

    We've all been blown away by the impressive performance and even
    more impressive pricing of AMD's new Ryzen chips, and it looks
    like Intel may have been paying attention, and been holding
    something in reserve to counter its resurgent competitor.

    Now, fair warning. This leak comes via the Anandtech forums, as
    picked up by Guru3D, and is based not only on a photo of a
    PowerPoint slide, but it's a work-in-progress slide to boot -
    and in German. So, this is far, far from final.

    But if we're to take it at face value, Intel's got two new Core
    i7 chips, and four Core i9 processors around the corner. The
    top-line SKU is the Core i9 7920x with 12 cores and 24 threads,
    and 16.5MB of L3 cache. 

    We don't have any clocks for that part yet, but the next down in
    the range is more fully fleshed out. The Core i9 7900x boasts 10
    cores and 20 threads, a base clock of 3.3GHz, and boost up 4.5GHz
    via Turbo 3.0. Both these high-end CPUs also feature 44 PCIe
    lanes.

Translated specs listed on the website at:

All? As in everyone? I just asked my 92 y.o. mother and she is
unimpressed. My 13 y.o. nephew is unimpressed. I am unimpressed.
Several billion people are unimpressed.

There is an iMac coming that will be aimed more at pro users. That has 
been dubbed "iMac Pro", but it will almost certainly simply be a more 
powerful high-end model of the normal iMac line ... hence the quote 
marks around the term.

It says "We've all" ... as in all the journalists at PCAuthority.com.au.  :-)

Quotation marks are for quotes. I am aware of the speculation on an
iMac Pro. I was probably thrown off by your use of the wrong tense:
"...are powering..." That's present tense, meaning that the putative
iMac Pro exists, which it does not.

as this Core i9 thing been known for some time and the real news is that
Intel is about to get it into production? or is this news about Intel
working on i9 ?


An outfit like Apple gets advance specs and designs and later advance
samples so it can start to create new computers based on new chip and go
to market as soon as the chip is being mass produced.

There is quite a bit of time between both.  So if the current news are
about Intel about go to nto production, it could mean a June
announcement for new Macs.

On the other hand, if i9 is still being developped, we may be talking
November launches if lucky.

Quotation marks are used in a few different ways and one of them is to 
indicate that something is being repeated that may not be literally so.

People have referred to the iMacs that Apple has promised as "iMac Pro", 
so it is appropriate for him to use quotation marks around the term.

And if they are to be delivered in the fall, then Apple certainly has 
prototypes of those systems that DO exist.

New rumour from bloomberg:

At WWDC, Apple set to announce updated Macbook Pros with Kaby Lake
processors.  So it would seem  Core i9 is still some ways away.

Laptop versions are different to desktop versions, which are different 
again to server versions.  :-)

Oh for crap's sake, why is the Internet so full of brainless pedantic 
morons ... it *IS* a quote ... a quote from the journalists who named 
it that.  :-\

It does exists, inside Apple (they've already said they're working on a 
more pro-level iMac) ... or do you stupidly believe Apple ships 
products to stores the same day they design them??

You should know that no good deed goes unpunished - numbnutz was waiting

You've never heard of "scare quotes"?
