Intel has just shown off their most extreme high-end desktop processor to date which boasts 28 cores. Intel didn’t tell much about it aside from showing a Cinebench demo which did not reveal much but they confirmed that the chip will be in the market sometime in Q4 2018.

Intel didn’t mention the name of the 28 core chip but it seems to be based on the Xeon Platinum (High Core Count) die which has been in the market for a while now. The details simply said that the processor would launch in Q4 2018 for the X299 platform. It’s possible we can see a new line of motherboards for this chip to drive it stable in workloads or better yet, overclocking.
