According to the newest report coming from IDF 2016, Intel might be working on yet another overclocking-friendly budget CPU that could be a successor the the Haswell-based Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition CPU.

While Intel's overclocking guru, Dan Ragland, did not specifically confirm it for the Techreport.com, which caught up with him at the IDF 2016 show, he did not even deny it.

Ragland noted that the extreme overclocking community has expressed strong interest in a Pentium AE successor and that the company has been thinking about ways to expand processor overclocking to more value-oriented chips in the future.

While we might not see a Kaby Lake-based Pentium AE-type chip, Intel might somehow either add further overclocking capabilities to some of its more value-oriented chips or even introduce a special CPU meant strictly for overclocking fun, something the the community would certainly know how to appreciate.

Hopefully we will see a Pentium AE successor eventually as it did bring a lot of happiness to the overclocking crowd.
