The TS-1677X can also perform as AI-oriented big data storage when used with a high-end graphics card and QNAP's ' QuAI' AI developer package.

The AMD Ryzen processor, with Turbo Core of up to 3.7 GHz, can greatly boost virtualization performance. today released the new enterprise-class TS-1677X Ryzen NAS with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, four 2.5-inch drive bays, and driven by the absolute performance of an AMD Ryzen 8-core processor, optimized storage efficiency with Qtier auto-tiering, and SSD caching. The 8-core/16-thread i9-9900K could be double-digit percentage faster owing to HyperThreading and larger cache, and Intel could look to monetize that with a premium price.

The Ryzen 7 2700X has more merits over the 6-core/12-thread i7-8700K, besides a slightly lower price, creating a competitive uncertainty that works to AMD's advantage and which Intel hopes to plug with the 8-core/8-thread i7-9700K. The 2nd generation Ryzen 5 series only trade blows with Intel's competing offerings, with the Ryzen 5 2600X at best edging past the i5-8600K with a wafer-thin margin, in price-performance and absolute-performance.

Intel arrested the growing popularity of AMD's Ryearlier this year, with its 8th generation Core i5 processors. We expect Core i9-9900K to have a premium price around the $500-mark. The upcoming Core i5-9600K (6-core/6-thread) and Core i7-9700K (8-core/8-thread) will succeed the two at nearly identical price-points. The current Core i5-8600K is a $250-ish product, while the current platform flagship Core i7-8700K remains around $350. We are not counting the anomalous / limited-edition Core i7-8086K in our assertion. A number of retailers across Europe are coming up with early pricing of Intel's 9th generation Core-K processors, codenamed 'Whiskey Lake' or 'Coffee Lake Refresh.' One such set of pricing, compiled by Czech publication confirms that our suspicions that Intel will establish a new $500-ish price-point in its MSDT (mainstream desktop) segment.
