At Computex 2018, Intel showcased a new beast CPU that will release later this year. Although Intel did not reveal any additional details, it demonstrated a 28-core CPU running at 5.0Ghz on all cores. Furthermore, this CPU supports Hyper Threading, meaning that it can handle 56 threads.
As said, Intel claims that this CPU will be available to the public in 2018. However, we don’t know how much this CPU will cost, its name, the socket it will be using, and whether it will be clocked at a 5.0Ghz frequency from the get-go.
In case you’re wondering, gamers should not invest right now in such a beast as most games nowadays cannot take advantage of more than four CPU cores/threads. Still, it will be interesting to see whether it will be able to match – in both single-thread and multi-thread gaming scenarios – Intel’s mainstream gaming CPUs.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
