Intel's 18-core will not be released alongside their X299 platform
ASUS' Raja Gill has confirmed that Intel will not be releasing their new i9 18-core Skylake-X CPUs alongside their X299 platform, stating that Intel's high core count CPUs will be releasing later this year.
The 18-core CPUs are not scheduled until later this year. Won't have them for a while. Either way, unless you're using the rig for rendering or encoding to make a living, no need.
This explains why these new CPUs do not have any listed specifications at this time, with Computex acting as a mere announcement and not at a release venue and why we have seen no 12+ Core i9 benchmarks on HWBOT.
It is likely that Intel's new 12+ Core i9 CPUs will release after AMD's Threadripper series of CPUs, which means that AMD will be the first to market with a 16-core consumer-oriented CPU.

Recent rumours regarding Intel's i9 series of CPUs have stated that Intel's 12+ core Skylake-X CPUs are Intel's reactions to AMD's new Ryzen series CPUs and are effectively repurposed XEONs with microcode adjustments, increased core counts and overclockability.
At this time we only know the names, prices and core counts of Intel's upcoming 12+ core i9 lineup, with clock speeds being confirmed at a later date.

Have folks seen Linus rant about this new range of Intel CPU's?Quote
lmao so that means another socket.Quote
yep just watched the rant ,, but he has a pointQuote
Nice one intel, you managed to ridicule yourselves trying to hit AMD who actually HAD an engineering sample of Threadripper.Quote

As for the source of this post, an Asus forum mod... Enough said... It could be true, however too much is treated as factual these days on the Internet. It's like Wikipedia out there
Watched Linus his video, yes. He has some points. Mine are:
Why Kaby Lake-X??
Why tim (I want to know the real reason regardless I accepted it)??
Prices could/should be more aggressive rather than arrogant.Quote
