Future Haswell-E Skus ??

[tenks]

Has there been talk or rumor of future Haswell-E skus? Intel has done this in the past with the HEDT line, taking the Extreme $1,000 sku and re badging them as a "cheaper" $500-$600 sku and then updated the Extreme sku with a higher bin.

I'm hoping we get a non X 8-core..Anyone?

Look into Xeons.

When was the last time Intel did that?

If anything you get a speedbin. I think you need to wait for Broadwell-E for any hopes of that.

I'm not even sure Broadwell-E's going to offer a big improvement, considering how even with all the new models on the Xeon side, Ivy Bridge-E was effectively just a dumb shrink of Sandy Bridge-E. At most, maybe the 8-core incarnation of Broadwell-E will have higher base clockspeeds.

Per leaked slides, BDW-E will still come in 6/8 core configs, so don't expect anything more than 6 cores at the 5820K/5930K price points. Speed bumps definitely possible given rumored BDW-E delay, but that's like what, 100MHz extra?

Seeing the delay in the Broadwell-E, I guess it was just wishful thinking. There is going to be a huge time gap between these HEDT releases, similar to the huge time gap between Westmere and Sandy Bridge-E (almost 2 years, like we might see here). Which to answer your question, was the last time "Intel did that"

We got two models actually, the 6-core 980 and 970 for $583, down from the orginal $1k 6-core core sku, 980X.

With that much time between now and Broadwell-E, I see more HW-E skus for sure.
