Haswell-e prices leaking

If PCI-E lanes are being reduced on i7-5820K (40 vs 28?), then I think Intel should release a lower cost X99 class chipset to go along with that.

Bring Haswell-E more into the mainstream. (And boost clocks on Broadwell i5-K to 4+ GHz just like on the i7-4790K so we can finally get rid of the whole Z board thing on LGA 1150 type sockets going forward for all practical purposes)

Nice price for the 5820k! Pity about that awful 140W of power... will it really guzzle that much as a rule? 🙁
 
5820k still makes sense for most users; you won't saturate that much PCIE anyway, no need to spend 50% more for the same chip except bandwidth your hardware will never use.
 
...sounds like I should hold off on the upgrade I'm itching for. Lots of cool new stuff right on the horizon! New video cards coming too!
 
$420 for 6 cores seems pretty reasonable. Pity about the platform cost though. These are DDR4 only right?

Right.

But it doesnt seem bad. DDR4 is currently 20% over DDR3 on geishalz. And close to same price for same speed.

What I am most interested in is to see OC'd power consumption on these Haswell CPUs. My SB-E used a LOT of power (+200w or so) at 4.7ghz vs. stock. Hoping this will maybe trim that a bit on the 6C parts, and (if they OC to similar levels) maybe keep a similar power usage profile on 8C.

REALLY want to see how these OC plus if they will be releasing a TSX-fixed stepping 4Q/1Q 2015...if so, I might wait for that.
 
Nice, 5820K at $412, or just $70 over 4790K. Add $50 more for the mobo, $100 more for RAM and you are paying a reasonable $220 for 50% more cores. Not bad at all considering i7 4790K charges $100 for more or less HT. If 5820K can hit 4.5-4.6 Ghz in air, this could form a very solid system for the next 4-5 years. Next year it will get even more interesting once DDR4 prices drop and BW-E comes with even lower power usage. Intel really needs to have high end Skylake-K ready next year unless their plan is to push enthusiasts away from Z97 towards the X99 platform. If the 6- and 8-core parts can comes close to 4790K's 4.7-4.8Gh, then the small reduction in clock speeds could be well worth the trade off for gamers + power users. Can't wait to see OCing results!!!

Like the 4790K before, signs of Intel is getting *it* when it comes to pricing their $300+ CPUs. Not the complete "meeeeeeeh" SB/IB-E was.
 
I guess we'll see to what extent HW-E 6 cores really give us anything significant over ever improving HT and better IPC on 4 core BW/SK-K.

i still hate intel's "last gen parts with current gen numbers" thing.

They could stick any number on the name or call it anything. It's really irrelevant. All I care about is the "last gen parts performing better than the current gen" thing.

Intel got it when they priced the i7 920. The motherboards weren't terribly expensive either (got my EX58-UD3Rs for < $150 a piece).
 
With DDR3 prices so annoyingly high, might as well go DDR4 anyway... of course, I can't find any yet. Only one month away??
