[2426.00 --> 2427.12] This was posted by
[2427.12 --> 2428.56] Zenos Tech on the forum
[2428.56 --> 2429.50] and the original article
[2429.50 --> 2431.18] is from the Tech Report.
[2431.84 --> 2432.62] I mean, there's no real
[2432.62 --> 2433.40] surprises here.
[2433.60 --> 2434.62] The rumors are
[2434.62 --> 2435.48] that Coffee Lake
[2435.48 --> 2437.24] is coming very soon.
[2437.70 --> 2439.24] Intel rarely keeps
[2439.24 --> 2440.46] a last generation product
[2440.46 --> 2441.30] alive for long
[2441.30 --> 2441.98] after they launch
[2441.98 --> 2442.44] a new one,
[2442.92 --> 2444.20] especially because
[2444.20 --> 2446.44] they don't generally
[2446.44 --> 2447.14] drop the price
[2447.14 --> 2448.16] of the last generation one
[2448.16 --> 2449.00] because it's not really
[2449.00 --> 2449.92] any cheaper to make.
[2450.12 --> 2450.92] Or it's not so much that
[2450.92 --> 2452.54] as it is that the new one
[2452.54 --> 2453.22] isn't really any more
[2453.22 --> 2453.98] expensive to make,
[2454.12 --> 2455.52] so they're just like,
[2455.60 --> 2456.54] well, you might as well
[2456.54 --> 2457.66] buy the new one, I guess.
[2457.66 --> 2459.80] I mean,
[2460.50 --> 2462.00] It's not like CPUs
[2462.00 --> 2462.64] really break,
[2462.76 --> 2463.70] so if you still want one,
[2463.78 --> 2465.14] I'm sure you can buy one online.
[2465.16 --> 2466.12] Yeah, and the 7700K
[2466.12 --> 2467.50] even works in the same boards,
[2467.64 --> 2468.24] so it's like,
[2469.22 --> 2470.26] there's like really
[2470.26 --> 2471.38] not much of a reason
[2471.38 --> 2472.44] to run out and buy these
[2472.44 --> 2473.98] unless you get one
[2473.98 --> 2475.02] on promo or something,
[2475.18 --> 2476.14] but that tends to be
[2476.14 --> 2477.04] pretty rare just because
[2477.04 --> 2478.28] of the way that Intel
[2478.28 --> 2479.40] manages their supply chain
[2479.40 --> 2480.10] really well.
[2480.24 --> 2481.00] Like, speaking as someone
[2481.00 --> 2482.82] who came from the channel,
[2482.82 --> 2485.16] it tends to be
[2485.16 --> 2486.04] that just kind of,
[2486.56 --> 2487.44] they must just have
[2487.44 --> 2488.62] very predictable sales
[2488.62 --> 2489.76] because as the new one
[2489.76 --> 2490.24] is coming,
[2490.80 --> 2492.12] the old one just like
[2492.12 --> 2494.18] kind of trickles off
[2494.18 --> 2495.64] in terms of supply
[2495.64 --> 2497.32] and then by the time
[2497.32 --> 2498.36] they're gone,
[2498.82 --> 2500.32] they kind of are selling
[2500.32 --> 2500.98] slower anyway
[2500.98 --> 2502.00] and you're ready to transition
[2502.00 --> 2502.68] into the new one
[2502.68 --> 2503.82] and there's never really a gap.
[2504.30 --> 2506.00] It's actually kind of magical
[2506.00 --> 2506.58] how well they,
[2506.66 --> 2508.78] people think Intel,
[2509.46 --> 2510.62] I don't think anyone thinks
[2510.62 --> 2511.68] Intel's a marketing company,
[2511.68 --> 2513.84] but people think Intel
[2513.84 --> 2515.06] is an engineering company
[2515.06 --> 2516.24] and they are,
[2516.60 --> 2517.92] but what they also are
[2517.92 --> 2518.94] is a supply chain company.
[2518.94 --> 2519.94] They've talked about it before.
[2520.10 --> 2521.00] They're really good
[2521.00 --> 2522.28] at supply chain.
[2524.12 --> 2525.40] So they'll be taking orders
[2525.40 --> 2525.92] of these chips
[2525.92 --> 2527.42] through March 30th of 2018
[2527.42 --> 2528.12] and shipping them
[2528.12 --> 2529.38] through to September of 2018,
[2530.48 --> 2531.64] but I mean,
[2531.70 --> 2532.58] the reason that they want
[2532.58 --> 2533.14] to get rid of them
[2533.14 --> 2533.76] is that they would be
[2533.76 --> 2534.70] taking up fab space
[2534.70 --> 2535.54] that could be used
[2535.54 --> 2537.76] for other 14 nanometer products.
[2538.24 --> 2540.30] So yeah, whatever.
[2540.30 --> 2542.16] rumor,
[2543.16 --> 2544.52] Google preparing
[2544.52 --> 2547.42] to buy HTC's phone division.
[2547.92 --> 2548.72] So this was posted
[2548.72 --> 2550.10] by Daring on the forum
[2550.10 --> 2551.26] and I like that name
[2551.26 --> 2552.14] for this news
[2552.14 --> 2553.66] because that
[2553.66 --> 2555.12] would be pretty daring.
[2555.64 --> 2556.48] HTC and Google
[2556.48 --> 2557.14] support,
