Intel will launch an insane 28-core CPU in Q4 2018
Intel teases the unveil of a 28-core single-socket behemoth.

Intel launched an 18-core CPU last year, and at Computex 2018 the company served up a teaser for a 28-core single-socket CPU that's launching later this year.
Intel didn't share a lot of details regarding the upcoming CPU, but it did run a live demo during the presentation of the processor crunching through Cinebench R15. The 28-core CPU netted a score of 7334, which is pretty fantastic.
Intel is going to formally unveil the 28-core CPU sometime in Q4 2018, so we should know more in the coming months.

It would only be insane if prices well,nothing new there

It's as if their engineering team decided to go Super Saiyan Level 5 on CPU design lol

Knowing intel it will have only 24 PCIe lanes or something stupid like that.

Since Intel cannot go down on nm spectrum, it has no choice but to increase the number of cores...!

@netmann; Yeah, that's logical...

I have yet to see a 10 core CPU and they are introducing a 28. That is some leaping announcement. Yet, not to be outdone with the announcement I am sure it will equally be a leaping out of the pocket $ just to keep it all balance. Interesting as it is AMD maybe about to make a pitch of their own where Intel is trying to steal the spotlight. We'll just have to stay tune...
