New platforms not until January
We have been expecting Intel and AMD to release their new generation CPU’s by the end of the year, but now it looks like we will not see them until January.
Digitimes claims that both Intel and AMD have delayed their launches until January 2017 at CES 2017 because the upstream supply chain still has serious inventory issues, and market demand has been pants.
Chipzilla’s Kaby Lake platform was originally scheduled to launch at the end of the third quarter and AMD's Zen architecture in the fourth...
I have been avoiding any new AMD CPU or GPU purchases for quite some time now -- willing to wait "years" for the new stuff (because what I have plays everything I play at ultra). Another quarter-year has been added to the CPU wait.
