Broadwell-E discussion

[Idontcare]

Announcement or Release? Those are 2 very different things to Intel these days.

Announcement, release, launch, in-store availability...all terms with different meanings.

Would guess the only thing any of us care to know is when there will be in-store availability.

140W, I'll pass.

140W, I'll pass.

That's what Haswell-E is.

 

[iSkylaker]

That's what Haswell-E is.

Improvement on that part is always welcome.

I just don't do much that pushes my SB-E set up yet. I mean i'm on my 5th video card( well 4th really as there were two 7950's crossfired at one time). Everything is asking for more from the video card than the CPU. Now a Skylake-E just might get me off my wallet as it seems it has been a very long time from last upgrade. We'll see.

Next question is , if Haswell-E is Feb-March then how long until Skylake-E?

No, performance per watt improvement is always welcome. Higher TDP envelopes would be great. Someone not willing to do what's necessary to power and cool a higher TDP processor should stick to mainstream.

Best case, 1yr later in 1Q 2017. Realistically, I'm thinking April/May 2017.

Will there be a broadwell-E priced similarly to the 5820k?

We hope it... at least the X part will cost 999 dollars. :awe:

Yes, almost certainly.

Ivy Bridge-E had the same TDP as Sandy Bridge-E did, yet in practice it used noticeably less power. The TDP recommendation is likely more for the purposes of system builders, cooling solution manufacturers and so forth.

Wasn't exactly that what I implied in my previous post?

Higher TDP envelopes should always be welcome by OC'ers, we rely on the rest of the system surrounding the CPU to have been spec'ed and built with the possibility of running closer to 200W on an overclocked CPU.

I'd rather push a 140W spec system to 200W than take a 91W spec system and push it to 200W...
