I'm guessing January next year with February availability, going by previous releases. (This is purely my own speculation, considering CES/previous releases.)

Thanks! :) Do you think this would be the case for the first quad-core ultrabooks/notebooks as well, or just these particular Lenovo products would take that long? I haven't been keeping up with CPU releases so I don't recall how long it takes for them to reach the portable market...

This article [1] contains some info: "Intel tells us that we should start seeing laptops using the new CPUs hit the market in September."

I'm pretty sure they mean single-threaded, but I've seen different numbers floating around. Here I see between 11-29% depending on the model: https://videocardz.com/72112/intel-claims-i7-8700k-to-be-11-...

Okay. Well, you should wait for benchmarks. If like in the anandtech article mentioned the clock rate gets decreased, and that would be very normal when adding more cores, then a single thread performance increase is very unlikely. In the last launch Intel did not get close to those numbers, and that was without a core increase. Also, there seems to be some confusion whether those processors now are a kaby lake refre…

Makes sense, yeah. Skeptical here as well.

How about some consumer desktop ones with ECC RAM support?

Why is ECC sought after on the desktop?

Some people run >32GB RAM with long uptime and there the chance of a random bit-flip might not be acceptable. Imagine working on some Deep Learning model, training it for 30 consecutive days and then hitting a memory bug during computation.
