Intel X299 motherboard spotted with an i7 7740K CPU
Recent rumours have suggested that Intel's Kaby Lake-X CPUs will offer similar features to their Kaby Lake-S counterparts, though the CPU's integrated graphics processor will be disabled.
With a TDP of 112W Kaby lake-X CPUs will have higher clock speeds than their desktop LGA 1150 counterparts and may potentially have more overclocking headroom. This CPU will likely be the entry level CPU for the LGA 2066 platform, giving its users the opportunity to upgrade to a CPU with more cores and PCIe lanes at a later date.
The Kaby Lake-X CPU is said to only support dual channel memory, whereas the Skylake-X CPUs will support Quad-channel memory, making Kaby Lake-X CPUs limit the potential of future X109/LGA 2066 motherboards.
You can join the discussion on Intel's i7 7740K and X299 platform on the OC3D Forums.

They wont be coming back hard if they're still stupidly overpriced

I think I'd be on board if they lower the price of the 8 core (which I doubt they will) or the IPC gain is substantial like 25-30% over Sandy Bridge-E which is what my 3930K is.
Would be nice to get some of the newer features as-well like the M.2 slot for a 960 Pro etcQuote
