Intel and Nvidia leaks and rumors over the last few days. Thing is, none come across as truly solid -- mainly speculation and possible fake data (writers have to write). I assume the final products will be good -- but, the rumors are not good yet. I do believe the rumors about "expensive" for both competitors.

Meantime, my experiment with a sale low-priced AMD RX580 cryptocurrency mining GPU used as a gaming GPU worked. It runs the Firestrike and Time Spy benchmarks about 7 to 10 percent faster than my RX480 in head to head tests on the same PC -- when set to the same clocks as the RX480 using Wattman. The RX560 is working well with our 49 inch 4K monitor/HDTV in our exercise room -- did decently on the benchmarks -- one could game with it (not 4K game).
