6850k Broadwell-E 6850K benchmarks leaked

That's what I understood too. Unless you plan on using 4 PCIe x8 or 3 PCIe x16 there's really no reason to spend the extra $200.

Now I just have to wait and see the price on the 6800k... Then I have to decide on the 6800k or a discount 5820k.

I'll probably end up doing the 6800k though...

 

How soon after the chips come out will be see the new mobos? I'm hoping for an x99 price drop soon...

I am pretty excited to upgrade my 2500K too. Will probably get the 6800K. Only worry right now is if my Hyper212 will be able to handle it with a moderate overclock.

 

 

Will we get new motherboards? The socket and chipset will be the same, so I don't really think there is much motherboard manufacturers can do. I would not be surprised if x99 motherboards stay at the same price.

Ha!  You literally just told me NO WAY.  I ain't hating on you for reconsidering, because these are preliminary samples.  It could get just a hair better before release!  If all variables in cooling were equal during testing as stated by the original tester, Broadwell-E looks to be a no brainier with those temp differences.

I know I did... So you better offer a good deal on that 5960x haha.

 

But I wasn't expecting 10% and 10% at 16C better temps!!!

That 6900k is so damn close to being an almost stock 4ghz 8-core from Intel.  It's terribly tempting.

The temps are really what are holding my attention...

 

I will have to see how people do on overclocking but shit this is gonna be hard to avoid buying...

This one should be fine for a H212, it's a bit harsh on Haswell-E (very harsh), but he is showing 16C better temps so fuck yea.

 

Gigabyte is known to be releasing updated motherboards, others will likely follow suit but for the most part expect x99 to stay in the same price range.

If the temps are good, I'd love to OC it to 4ghz and then use a NH-C14s and just leave that on there.  Dead quiet.

I'm upgrading from an FX8120... so I'll be huge for me... I'll upgrade to an h110i GTX too to cool the beast.

 

I know EVGA and Gigabyte already announced new x99 boards. I just want a nice black board, why does everyone have to add an awful red/blue/white etc to their boards?!

Well I don't need to worry about that. My custom loop is already dead silent. But still, what I couldn't do with 10% more HP at 16C lower temps...

 

Plus my CPU's IMC sucks balls so this would be a great chance to swap that.

 

Fuck. I'm rationalizing buying it. This is over... Fuck

It's too sexy for my shirt... to sexy for my shirt...

[shdowhunt60]

Wow, a 10C reduction in load temps is REALLY nice. That's like, what, a %20 reduction? Hopefully that translates well to higher frequencies/voltages. The improvements in the IMC sounds nice as well, hopefully it pairs nice with DDR4-3000.

That's actually the one I was probably gonna get... but still, $220:(

 

Do you own it? Any downsides to it?

It's the best value board on the market by far (x99). I have used one, but I don't currently own it.

Bud, catch me in the high of a 6950x purchase and you'll be really surprised what you can steal the 5960x from me for.  Kinda hard to gauge that timing from half way across the country.

 

While we have only seen 2 tests so far, 10% on both is promising.  Given my experience with Haswell-E so far, I'm thinking those temp differences are a good sign in the area of OC as well, but who knows?

 

I'm still hoping for a better IMC.

My last trip to Micro Center, they already had a "Broadwell-E" refresher board from Gigabyte in the store.  I didn't bother to verify that.

Yea, if it can hit 4.6 or so top end clocks, god damn this is gonna be a winner.

 

Just come right on LTT after you buy the thing and lemme know.

MSI really does make some nice looking inexpensive boards.  I have a MSI z97S SLI Krait Edition and it's really nice looking.  No bells and whistles, but looks fantastic.

Yeppers, the SLI Plus was my first choice for my pc, but I was building on time constraints and the only one they had locally was borked (actually later it looked like my cpu just sucks so yea, I've had very well documented IMC issues).

I'll probably be on LTT before I make it back to the house. 

 

Intel even thought about us when it comes to install.  They put finger grippy things on it.  That's where all the added expense went.

[Cheddle]

shit... I had to clock my 5820k to 4.9 ghz to crack 19,000 physics score...

 

broadwell opop

 

Broadwell IPC gains might surprise us - given that the i7-5775c was closer to an i5 with hyper threading than an actual i7 release (L3 cache size)

LOL. But the sexy is real... God dammit... I need someone to require a pc built so I can pawn off my parts and buy replacements...

 Intel just cut the excess ihs away so that gap provides better grip. Those are not grippy pad for your fingers.

I was definitely messing around.  I'm dumb, but not that dumb.

I got an interesting scenario, lets say someone picked up an x99 board but no CPU as they are now just waiting on Broadwell-E instead to be released. Since a BIOS update is needed for Broadwell-E to work how much of a bind do you think they might be in?

Depends, some manufacturers have already released updated drivers. I would be surprised if the rest didn't release some by release day.

So a few motherboards are allowing users to update bios's without a cpu, but otherwise they are probably really f'd unless they can borrow a friend's x99 cpu or take it to a tech shop that might have one open already.

 

Worst case is they buy a cpu on amazon/bestbuy then return it or something.

Yer, but most motherboard bios's are back logged about 3-6 months

Lol. I'm in the same boat as you where I love my 5820K but these benches look so good  5820K is already more than enough for me. If I get a job with Intel retail edge I might consider getting the 8 core broadwell-e if they have it for $400.

Yah that's what I'm thinking, it's an EVGA board and it doesn't look like they even released a BIOS for the new CPUs yet.
