Peter Njeim Wrote:Coffee Lake and Core i9 was a DIRECT response to Ryzen and Threadripper.
To be clear, CPUs are not fast to produce, and this was in the works years before Ryzen even came out. There were definitely some changes to intel's plans (kaby lake and coffee lake would not be that close otherwise) but Intel didn't just make their chips a higher core count out of thin air because of Ryzen!
