Intel Core i7-5775C and Core i5-5675C

[Caeradwyn]

"The new Broadwell chips will be compatible with the existing LGA 1150 socket."

 

But of course a new chipset will be launched as well, and the old chipsets will be "not recommended" for it, because of different CPU microcode, and might require a BIOS update, that might or might not be released for your motherboard... Isn't this how it always goes with Intel nowadays?

I remember the FC-PGA socket. Possibly the best chipset was the 440BX, despite newer features in the others, but Intel made sure to swap a couple of pins around to make newer CPUs incompatible with older motherboards, so people would have to buy new motherboards as well. A great way of boosting chipset sales. Not really surprising why Intel are so rich.

To all that complain about the article about not having a personal opinion.

The topic was posted late at night and i was tired. The topic has now been edited with my personal opinion. Funny thing though, I see this article has been promoted, but who actually clicks on that "news" link on the top right section of this site? So far this my 2 time and that's it. I check out news, in the news section of the forums. Also this promoted article in the "front page" news section did a copy and paste quote too. Should LTT obey their own rules too and add some personal opinion as well? Who promotes the article is it automated?

Still have my fingers crossed that Skylake will make 6 cores mainstream with the i7. C'mon 10 core Extreme edition Broadwell-E or Skylake-E!

It's already confirmed Skylake S/K is quad core max.

Nope. Z97 is already out. Please keep up with what everyone should know.

Why would we want to run broadwell? I see not one single reason I'd want to move from my 4770k to one of these err downgrades?

You're not the person Intel is aiming at with these. Broadwell will best fit with NUC-like devices, HTPCs, and other SFF, low-footprint devices.

From vr-zone's chart it says ddr3L. L stand for low voltage. Now does that mean current ram won't work? In notebooks if it runs on ddr3l then it needs ddr3l ram. Regular ddr3 does not work or it does but the bios is not program to support it.

guess im gonna wait for skylake or go haswell, been running this i5 750 for a very long time.

 

I'm in the same boat with an i5-750. I think I'm fine waiting for Skylake, though.

If this is for gaming, you may wait even longer. Since DX12 unlocks the performance from more cores, unless you were already doing professional work or doing HPC coding targeting newer instructions, then your chip's been underutilized.

Guild Wars 2 already drops to nearly 15 FPS during combat with large numbers of players around (which would still only be 30–40 with a brand new, overclocked Core i5-4690K). That's only the most extreme example; even Battlefield 4 has some dips that I can attribute to my processor. My 750 is going on six years old, it's time.

 

We'll see what happens with DX12 when it's tested post-launch. There certainly will not be any shortage of benchmarks.

but if they didnt cut the cache, the CPU might actually be more than 1% faster than its haswell equivalent...  we cant allow that

[SteveGrabowski]

Wow, I feel bad for people who bought Pentiums and i3s with the idea of waiting for Broadwell to buy that unlocked i5 or i7 for their Z97 board instead of just buying a 4690k or 4790k right off the bat.

[Thony]

Achieving same clock with less TDP is what i want to see, not the obvious: lower clock = lower tdp....

This Core C CPUs are from Broadwell or skylake ? Its not clear to me as it isnt mentioned anywhere in the post.

First time we see i7-5xxx i would say 6core i7-7xxx is coming with Broadwell or Skylake

2016 fingers crossed so i can upgrade to 6core Cannonlake fo sub £300 when that comes out.

And fingers crossed that also in 2016 - Zen competition to all Intel fronts.  *ALL THE CROSSED FINGERS*

[cesrai]

Will there be broadwell equivalents to the 4690k, compatible with the z97 chipset?

Why would you want that ??

Can you please list me sources or places you get the information about skylake, broadwell and Intel CPUs/iGPUs as am doing a horrible job finding information about them - don't ask why and how just list them if you can -.

Skylake will be dual cores and quad cores according to every Intel slide I have ever seen.

[Toddwjp]

well looks like i will be sticking to ivy bridge for another cycle 

[libremaster]

Les't wait for the 5770k (If it'll exist) specs.  :rolleyes:

[Thony]

So they gonna have lot more variations with like 200mhz difference on them...thats just stupid imho.

They already have too many options available to us.

Never thiught i would say that i dont like too many options lol. But in this case the difference is in some cases unnoticable.

I think the C IS the unlocked model....

I feel old, each year things change so much... Specially names not performance lol

[Sanctuary2808]

*impatiently taps on desk* Still waiting for a good reason to upgrade beyond my i7 950

The spec are very underwhelming. I wonder if Intel has to reduce the clock speed to improve yield of the chip. 

[YT2002]

I just hope Intel doesn't stick the middle finger and prohibit 8-series motherboards from running Broadwell. They should al least leave the option for motherboard makers to provide an updated BIOS

Unfortunately it will only work with 9 series boards.
