Intel 5th gen desktop CPUs is leaked to support new IRIS grapichs

[ViruZ_HUN]

Hello!

 

 

For those who dont know the new Broadwell CPUs is going to get released 3th or 4th quarter this year. Also the 5xxx series.

Its leaked to support IRIS grapichs which is the new Intel grapichs. IRIS will be good in games too! correct me if i am wrong.

integrated graphics is a waste of time....

true dat. except for AMD though..

It's always nice to fallback on if you can't finish your build right away, or if the GPU is DOA. Makes things a bit easier to diagnose. 

I somewhat agree though, I wonder what would happen if they went ALL out on CPU and forgot about IGPU

Xeon?

[Dudenstein]

I wouldn't mind doing a igpu and dedicated set up on laptops where I can switch to and from the two option for power savings but on desktops I don't see myself using the igpu unless I have major issues with my dedicated GPU

[Lays]

Xeon?

 

Xeon's aren't for raw performance though, it's more about stability for 24/7 100% usage operation. (Like almost all workstation things)

Unless you don't play computer games or only play like football manager or the sims...in which case its really useful for the average joe

 

iris pro is really powerful, especially in current gen crystalwell processors like in the 15" macbook pro

 

according to notebookcheck http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Iris-Pro-Graphics-5200.90965.0.html

"Thanks to the fast eDRAM memory, the average performance of the Iris Pro is only about 15 percent behind the dedicated mid-range cards GeForce GT 650M and GT 750M (DDR3 versions). This makes the Iris Pro even faster than AMDs Radeon HD 8650G and the fastest integrated GPU of 2013"

 

an improvement can only be good for general consumers

Well i'm talking about performance enthusiasts.

[maazster]

Not interested in broadwell, i am waiting for Skylake hopefully its another sandybridge competing with the enthusiast platforms like the 2600k did to the 980x

[ViruZ_HUN]

Seems like i am the first one who posted this:D no complains:D

 

 

I saw at linus CES when they were showing Gigabytes Bearbones computers with Iris grapichs while playing some games:D

[Paralectic]

i5 fifth generation with a Maxwell 880 yes!

[Lord Pantaloons]

Iris Pro 5200 is decent, definitely better than what we had before.

 

Also to those who bash integrated, three things:

 

1. It isn't aimed at you

2. your opinion on integrated is irrelevant

3. STFU

[qwertywarrior]

soo yeah...

use the extra die space for a larger GPU and onboard Dram

we dont need more larger CPU cores .....

[hehehehhehehehe]

I'd be interested in this being implemented into the enthusiast lineup on the new X99 platform.

[DLM_012]

I have seen people playing Battlefield 4 and Titanfall with their 7850K while they are mining with 5 R9 290Xs.

 

I don't want to imagine what their power bills look like unless electricity is cheap.

Well, i7 EE...

[Lays]

Well, i7 EE...

 

I meant for the more mainstream platforms, but I see what you mean now I should of been more specific

 

And this topic wasn't about 59xx series I don't think since it's talking about intergrated GPU

[Kyl3]

I wish i could care.... Like, at all. All this means is cheap haswells. #4770klyfe

[matin94]

true dat. except for AMD though..

you can use it for a display, or something

[ViruZ_HUN]

No. 4770k wont get cheap when 5770k comes out.

iGPUs work great for low-end HTPC builds, where the most people would ever do is watch 1080p video. 

Lower power consumption (if they can achieve that) is also great. It will be awesome to see desktop-grade hardware in mobile form factors due to drastically lower power consumption.

(You'd get an extreme edition CPU)

Not if you use it as a co-processor for on-the-fly encoding via quicksync

[VSG]

Come back to me with that when you are flashing a BIOS on a discrete GPU and something goes wrong. Oh, and over 75% of the PC world find that statement wrong too.
