Intel’s 18 Core Skylake-X Won’t Be Available Until Next Year – 14 & 16 Core Parts To See Delayed Availability
Intel Was Clearly Blindsided By AMD’s Threadripper
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that Intel had always intended to continue its incrementalism had it got the chance..

And the fact that these parts will see delayed availability tells us Intel was caught off guard and was clearly not ready for AMD’s Threadripper surprise..
