According to some rumors of these hours, quite reliable, given that we are talking about Canard PC Hardware (those who made a brief preview of Ryzen last December), Intel would have in mind to produce two new processors to counter AMD ‘s  new Ryzen solutions. :  the Intel Core i7 7740K and an i5 7640K , two Kaby Lake solutions characterized by even higher frequencies than those announced about a month ago.

The information that emerged speaks of frequencies  that should be higher than about 200 / 300MHz, as well as the TDP, which could pass or exceed 100 Watts. Therefore you will see an i5 7640K with a base clock of 4 GHz and a turbo close to 4.3 / 4.4GHz, while the i7 7740K could go up to 4.6 / 4.7 GHz, with a base clock close to 4.4 GHz ; we remind you that these rumors are to be taken with a grain of salt even if they could be very reliable, we must wait for the official Intel itself regarding the release of two new processors.

It seems that Intel  is a little afraid of Ryzen , not by the performance of the CPUs but by the performance / price ratio that AMD should offer to consumers, as the latest rumors continue to hypothesize a price for some variants of the octa-core with 16 thread closer to an i7 7700 / 7700K than the real competitor 6900K, sold for over 1200 euros. What do you think about it? Are you waiting for the release of the new Ryzen CPUs ?
