Welcome to the forum! As for the post...I think it's good to see intel trying to get a bigger clock, but at the same time it makes me feel the refresh will be just an overclocked then rebranded series of CPUs, which is caused by lack of competition. But honestly, I (personally), don't really care, since my 2600k performs exactly the same as an 4960x 3970x 4770k, you name it, on GAMES. I don't do anything else so I shouldn't be worried for a loooong time. Also, DX12, which will be available for us, will focus on the GPU as far as I'm informed, so yeah...

Yup sure. K bud. Have fun with that. They could be binning 4770k's and getting stock speeds to run at 4.1. It's not gonna improve the chips but just lessen the overclocking headroom. Think of how the 290x reference cooler did it. As high as clocks and temperatures as possible and basically no OC headroom. 

 

And even then, when 80% I5 usage is used in some intensive games, why would a 5ghz I7 even matter. What like 2 fps increase?

Rendering is why I would buy that i7. Also the fact that it achieves 4.1GHz with less than 100W TDP means there will be a lot of overclocking headroom. This doesnt really matter for gamers, cause they should instead be spending money on a better graphics card.

Errr pushed 5ghz on air with 2500k....

 

 

Kind of over exaggerating as usual.

Well in case you havent noticed, It is much more difficult to get current chips to 5GHz on air because you need higher voltages for CPUs such as the 3770k and 4770k

With this new processor at a 4.1GHz base clock I wouldn't be surprised if some people got it to 5.5GHz with decent liquid cooling. Maybe even 6GHz on phase change.

Bascially this ~500MHz base clock increase will theoretically increase your max overclock by about 500MHz or more :)

I'd like to hope so, but I think it'll more a case of Intel "factory overclocking" the CPUs. If they can all reach 4.1Ghz anyway it makes sense for them to just do it out of the box.

 7:18 of video. Intel openly says  "expect the same as what we have today" in terms of OC performance.

 

Your living a pipe dream if you think  5Ghz + on DC is gonna be easy

I'm pretty sure this is not factory overclocking...

They probably made some improvements to the clock mesh and base clock so that it can support higher clock speeds by default without increasing the multiplier.

At least thats what I hope...

Intel is improving the tim position so all other things being equal the should be more overclocking headroom
