5960X will be mine when some mature motherboards and higher clocked DDR4 is released in a few months.

I guess using the actual die and showing the 4 cores as being disabled just isn't as sexy.

Or judging by the layout in the two pictures they have 8 core die a 12 core die and a 18? core die. I wonder when people will stop assuming that all Intel products are a single die fused off. (this hasn't been true for awhile now)

Die size for those other core counts would be pretty easy to calculate from the dimensions in that picture and a few simple assumptions.

i'm on the same line of thinking.

Still waiting for performance numbers but I may push this upgrade back to December or January.

Yeah, it's looking like DDR4 3200 CAS 12 will start giving DDR3 a run for it's money. Fortunately, I'm currently looking at 2H15 for my upgrade - so hopefully some really fast RAM will be available (and hopefully won't cost as much as a hexacore HW-E).

So just curious. Does Intel save any money be have less PCI-E lanes on the 5820K, or is it just being done to segment the market? Can they use dies with some defective lanes for the 5820, or is it just totally an arbitrary thing?

In any case, 400.00 for a hex core sounds good if it overclocks decently. Otherwise, overall for gaming the 4790K might still be a better choice.
 
I'm not sure what the benefit is if you are not running several GPUs. Clock speeds of the i7-5820K are 700 MHz to 800 MHz lower than the i7-4790K. Is four channel memory and DDR4 enough to make up the difference?

For applications that can heavily utilize a larger number of threads the two extra cores are worth a lot more than the 700 MHz clock speed drop...
 
Wow, $389 on the 5820K is a very good deal for users who run many threaded tasks. If this puppy overclocks to 4.6Ghz, it's lights out for 4790K for many users who keep their systems for 4-5 years. The 28 lanes is not much of a limitation since you can run PCIe 3.0 8x/8x/8x/4x. PCIe 3.0 at even 4x = PCIe 2.0 x8x which isn't much of a bottleneck:

You could easily do 3 and even 4 high end GPUs on the 5820k. Good to see Intel giving enthusiasts the 8-core offering at $1K which at least clearly separates itself as an Extreme series, instead of minor clock speed and cache bump. I have a feeling this X99 platform will become even more popular once BW-E drops and DDR4 pricing subsides to DDR3 levels.

Can't wait to see overclocking results on this lineup.

I definitely agree. While on X79, the only chip that really made sense to me was the 4930K, this time around it's the 5820K and the 5960X that make sense, depending on what your budget is.
