Haswell-E: DDR4, Octacores and more!

[Zeal]

Anyone else think this is a bit too early of a leak? Or is it just me :/

Having Intel finally release a consumer grade Octo-core is exciting! I'm expecting it to cost the same as all their previous versions of "Extreme" series at 1k a pop.

[Nertballs]

Very though competition for AMD.

not really, it's been a while since AMD have even tried that division of prosumer stuff. they kepe more to the everyday kinda guy if you get me!

You are true. I myself own 4 Amd Machines and One Intel

[Bluejay0]

Octacore + Hyper-Threading = 16 ULTRA THREADING POOOOWWWAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

i'm not saying amd are bad. it's actually quite smart to stay out of something they know will cost them too much money. Intel basically run that series for bragging rights, a 4770k will more than do for the majority of people.

I am also not saying Amd are bad I wish to say in my previous post that Amd has bang for buck And wanted to support your post.

I'm only going to upgrade once we get reasonably priced, consumer 16GB RAM dimms. 8 of those and imma get myself a RAMdisk (128 GB ram split into 24GB of RAM 104 GB of disk). the extra cpu power will be completely wasted though. Extra PCI-E lanes is nice as well i guess.

[kemical]

that= will be worth upgrading to not haswell

Her guys Tech Of Tomorrow has revealed some pretty nice things check it out here

this is just amazing!!! he claims that there will be an option for true quad sli and crossfire!!!!

[Snickerzz]

meh, amd has had an 8core already :P

[Dim]

I leapt for joy! And then cried when I saw that they require LGA 2011-3 motherboards :(

Ah well, at least they made the right move.

[zeros]

Aww you were faster, I was just about to post this :(.

Ya except it was kinda meh.

I'm pretty sure this has already been posted.

Cant way for a cpu which has odd numbers. No idea why but cant wait.(doesnt include 1 core).

AMD has already made tri-core CPUs.

[nishank93]

Nah. It says 40 PCIe lanes, which means three way SLI/Crossfire at 16x-16x-8x at best (or four way at 8x throughout).

Ok, so I like Intel and all but a 30-50% performance increase is possible, but recently has something like this is a novelty, but what I see is Intel is comparing, the soon to be 4820, which is a hyper-threaded quad core, with DDR3 RAM, and on the X79 chipset to the 5960X which would be a hyper-threaded oct-core, with DDR4 RAM and on the X99 chipset. So yeah a 50% increase is possible but when your comparing a $300 CPU that would be a year old by then, to a $1000 CPU that would be brand new, of course your going to get a pretty substantial performance increase.

[TheDigitalRealm]

These would make for awesome bragging rights....and not much else.

 

Truth be told, most applications don't even use the full power of current hexa-core processors, these chips will be a good year or two old before programs are released that can fully utilize the 8 cores.

 

I think that if they can price the hexa-core processor at a similar price to the current i7 3820 or i7 4820, they can have my money.

Do you think the 4960X (Ivy-E) will be 50% more powerful than a 4770K? Because I can tell you right now it won't. It'll be about 15% to 25% just like the difference between 2700K and 3960X. And thus, 50% on Haswell-E is actually something to look forward to, as it means a good 35%-40% over a theoretical Broadwell 5770K equivalent, depending of course on Broadwell itself as a progression, but assuming it's linear to Sandy, Ivy and Haswell.

But here your comparing Ivy-E with Haswell, and that is also comparing a quad core with a hex core. What i'm saying is that I would comparing Ivy-E to Haswell-E, which would be a quad core to a oct core.

[qwertywarrior]

the ivybridge - ep models come in 12 core versions

i might stick around for that if they costed less than $1000
