Haswell-E: DDR4, Octacores and more!

[Thibaudv]

http://vr-zone.com/articles/intel-core-i7-ivy-bridge-e-core-i3-haswell-lineup-detailed/37832.html/1

 

Vr-zone gave a preview of what haswell-E is going to be:

-22nm

-only 6 and 8 cores

-DDR4

-33to50% performance increase over Ivy-E

 

 

 

I personally might get a 5930k!

[solosdk]

Wow that is crazy computing power!

[#Banana]

i might get one as well! HASWELL!

[Levent]

i would be suprised if there was %20 performance increase compared to 6c ivy bridge %50 is WAAAY too optimistic

[Chakshu]

Very though competition for AMD.

Agreed, but 8 physical cores is still pretty darn awesome.

 

I'll be curious to see how it plays out. 

 

And more importantly, what sort of real world benefit is made from DDR4

well going from ivybridge -> haswell there's a 10-20% improvement.

and there's 4 extra cores,along with DDR4.yes I said 4,because in the article it compares it to 4 cores,unless I'm mistaken about what 4C¹ means.I'm assuming 4 core with one processor,could be wrong.

though even if it were referring to the 6 cores I could still buy 50% improvement with those 2 extra cores and 4 extra threads + the improvement from ivy to haswell.

 

I can buy 50% improvements in situations such as 3d modeling/animation +  rendering and Video Editing +rendering where it can take advantage of all the above.

Cool. When is the release? When Broadwell comes out in two years?

 

:rolleyes:

2nd half of 2014

lets hope it will be a better price per performance than what AMD has...

that'd be the ddr4 more than the 2 extra cores i think.

 

 

but a workstation computer with low power consumption sounds very nice.

For an extreme grade CPU, wouldn't think so...

[JordanMac]

The 8 core will probably be the chip that will get my wallet to open for an upgrade.

If you're thinking about gaming then there will be pretty much no need to bother with this at all.

 

Gaming is about to go X86 unified. That means that the only limitation to PC gaming will be the consoles, as is the norm. Because it will be easy to build a PC based on these consoles (and cheap) there will be no need for CPUs like this.

 

Why? well, in the past because of the differences in architecture and programming languages the best way to run a console port was with brute force. This way the sheer power being tossed at the game was enough to overcome all of the problems with it.

 

When that changes to X86 though the absolute most you are going to need is an 8 core AMD. Why? because that's what the console has and you can buy one that operates three times as fast with the same core architecture as the console counterpart.

 

So this means that PC games will be much easier to run and at much higher FPS counts because there is no transition between the coding.

 

Which will make CPUs like this a bit pointless really, unless you just want to wave your willy around.

[Nicktrance]

Sounds like it will be a much bigger upgrade than Haswell was over Ivy Bridge (non E). Still it's over a year in the future so it's a bit too far away to get excited... Also it's completely useless for me but it's always interesting to look at the high end.

[TheBrenz]

16 logical cores...mhhhh.....

[oldsnell]

Did Intel have this CPU already and sitting on it. Till AMD released there  CPU pushed them to release it? Should we thank AMD?

 

 

[Blade of Grass]

DDR4? Really?

 

They haven't even released DDR4.

 

Also, this sounds more like rumours than anything else, especially since Intel hasn't released any info about IB-E.

Any idea about the removal of PCI/5V tolerance? What is that function about?

[TechFan@ic]

I really love the idea of an 8 core Haswell beast of a CPU, especially with how developers are finally starting to optimize for 8 cores.
But I always get excited for stuff that I can't afford & I have a suspicion that these chips will be horrifically expensive.

[Lexlazootin]

Just wondering, (because i really don't know) but does AMD have anything realistic coming out or combat this? to me 5Ghz/200watt cpus sound silly as hell...

[Samdb]

I just hope it doesn't cost a bomb, which it will.

[heineygoat]

This is insane. I'm glad I didn't go Haswell. Thanks OP.

well considering this is nearing server/workstation grade you should look at opteron processors. of which are VERY nice.

[MzCatieB]

well... looks like im gonna have to change my next build a little :|
