[Officially confirmed] Intel unveils Broadwell-E CPUs with Complete Benchmarks, Price, 6950x's Overclocking results.

lmao 

 

 

It's been more than 6 years and still Intel has failed to produce an i7 Extreme Edition chip to compete with my 2010 dual X5675 OC setup.

 

It would like be cool and all if Intel would actually care about performance... I'm sure other people would like that too...

I was looking forward to this so much but after seeing the Swedish prices I am very disappointed.

Here is what the prices looks like:

 

i7 6700K - 340 Euro

i7 5820K - 410 Euro

i7 6800K - 540 Euro

 

What the fuck Intel? Don't give me some bullshit about taxes either. The price in Germany is just fine.

I'm currently in Sweden! We ride to Gothenburg tomorrow and stay a couple nights before going to Varnhem to record our album.

You're insane. The memory, cache, core count, and architectural improvements alone have done that, not to mention clock speed jumps and SIMD instructions.

 

Go ahead and throw Cinebench at your dual CPU config vs the 6950X. You get obliterated under modern implementations.

You should try some Swedishy candy while you're here. I recommend "Kex choklad" and "plopp".

Also, I think the soda "Trocadero" is Sweden only, and it's one of my favorites.

Well it is 10 cores vs 16, and his CPUs are overclocked. It shouldn't be that strange for them to outperform Broadwell-E.

I have run the latest version of R15 and I score near 2200; 6950x scores 1800 / 2000 OC'd; pathetic for a rig 7 years older than mine

 

check the cinebench R15 thread if you don't believe me (my score isn't there yet but an equivalent is; mine is a bit faster because of cache OC and tightened timing AFAIK): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sxzGshuqVtFe_2zgRhN3gXCraR7d8p-NazJ6z0nsGGc/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0

 

My point is CPU maker used to release actually cool platforms like the Intel V8, AMD 4x4 Quadfather, Intel Skulltrail / QX9775, X6 1100T, FX 9590... the list goes on.  You don't see that anymore...

only 12 cores actually

Before everyone jumps on the bandwagon of It's too expensive, keep in mind you've gone from say 6 cores in a 3970x at $999 to 10 cores.

No but a 5960X has 8 cores for $999.

Single 6950x cpu, is get a pretty close score to your 7 ancient dinosaur dual xeon setup, shows how much improvements has been made.

[Exotath]

Considering the minimal gains from these over the Haswell versions in gaming... I'll stick with my 5820K until Skylake EP.

[Lurick]

Was hoping the new chips would OC about as well as the current chips but that doesn't seem to be the case. A 5930K can push 4.5 to 4.8 GHz but if a 6850K can't get more than 4.3 to 4.4 then it's not really worth it. Still gonna wait another week or so to see if maybe the first batch of chips was just crap but if they are crap then I'm going with the 5930K instead.

I remember when there was actual innovation in the extreme performance bracket... Compare an SR-2 platform to an equivalent extreme performance system from 2002/2003 and they are worlds apart.  Compare a $1700 overclocked CPU to a 7 year old system and it still can't keep up...

 

Take the E5645 for example, the chip I used to run in my system.  Both chips overclocked to 4.0ghz are roughly around the performance of a stock 6950x.  E5645s cost $551 each at launch, had an 80w tcp that scaled amazingly well despite overvolting due to their low box Vcore, and featured 6 cores / 12 threads.  Lets do a little math here:

 

           E5645: 551 USD

           E5645: 551 USD

  EVGA SR-2: 599 USD

+ __________________

                     1701 USD              

 

That means in 2010, you could have a system that performs as well a 6950x, with only a slighter higher TDP and a lower cost.  6950x doesn't even include a motherboard... insane

 

this is why Zen needs to be good
