I have found an image giving a sneek peek of the 5th gen Intel core I7 processors which I have linked below. Do you think there will be a price drop of 4th gen and what price do you think these 5th gen core I7 processors will go at?

Codes are as follows

I7 5960x

I7 5930k

I7 5820K

I don't think there will be a price drop, there has not been with the last few generations.

Those are still 4th gen CPUs, they're Haswell-E. Just the 6 and 8 core parts on the 2011 socket, it shouldn't impact the mainstream parts' prices at all.

Those are still 4th gen, and no real price drop.

Oh ok, I didn't know that they were on haswell-E

 

Even if those were on a new architecture it still wouldn't impact the prices on current haswell CPUs. They're on a completely different socket with an entirely different target demographic.

This ^^ generally, in the computing world, they make us pay for exactly what we get. OP

The most common result of insufficient wattage is a paperweight that looks like a PC
