Skylake Extreme i7?

[hug0mac]

I did hear it will come very soon so I was wondering if it will still be compatible with 1151 or if Intel will create some Z99 thing?

Skylake-E won't be out for a while, it's Broadwell-E that's out soon and that's on X99.

Broadwell E is coming very soon, using X99 and DDR4 still. Skylake E is still a way off.

Broadwell-E is 6960X? 5960X is the Haswell-E? (I'm really not sure)

I doubt it's coming soon but it wouldn't be on Socket 1151 if it did.

 

Likely Broadwell-E on X99.

 

Broadwell-E should be the 6960X but you never know with Intel.

Oh I see! I thought that 6xxx series was Skylake... heh Intel is weird. Heard it's going to have 10 cores right?

Doubt it.

 

And Intel always lag the enthusiast platform 1 architectural generation behind (e.g. 4xxx extreme was Ivybridge-E and 5xxx Haswell-E). Still running Sandy-E myself

 

And they tend not to increase core counts until people are basically begging them to, it took them from Gulftown from 2010 until Haswell-E to go from 6 to 8 cores.

Yes they are a bit laggy ironically! ^^ Thanks for the info, it helped!

Yep.  Broadwell-E is coming out Q2, so before or during Summer.  $1000 10-core, 20-thread part, and then I believe two 8-core parts and a six core part, or it may be two six cores and an eight core, but that'll be for X99 and new X99 boards.  Skylake-E will be on a brand new chipset all together, so no more X99 after Broadwell-E.

That's pretty cool!

Broadwell-E will be the 6950x, 69(something)k and 6900k. The 6950x would have 10 cores and 20 threads.

Yay for 10 cores HT!
