When are the next gen Intel/AMD CPU's coming out?

For the desktop it will 2015. It's hard to say what quarter, but given that AMD is in the middle of Kaveri and Intel just did the Haswell refresh, you're looking at Q2 or later. Or another 9+ months.

A good point and fair enough. Though being Haswell based it wouldn't be something I'd personally define as "next gen".

It does have DDR4 though, which I suppose counts as "next gen".

AMD haven't got any new "big CPU" parts on their roadmap to replace the current FX parts- probably won't see one until they bring out K12 and Zen in 2016. They have new APUs coming though.
 
From an architecural point of view, the next gen Intel CPU is Skylake in 2H 2015 (rumored July-September timeframe for non-K overclocked series). There will be 2 speed bumps before: September 2014 for X99 chipset platform with its 6-8 core CPUs intended for highly multi-threaded workloads/workstation usage; and Broadwell-K as a Haswell refresh around May-July 2015 for K series. For AMD, there is nothing next generation high end until probably 2016.

Also the X99 chipset is to replace the X79 which is pretty old.

Haswell-E is coming out though.

Any news whether it is on track to be released this year or have they announced delays just as with Broadwell? If I remember correctly launch date was supposed to be sometime next month.
Also, is there any indication whether it will be a soft-launch, or is there going to be availability immediately after launch?

Depends on what you mean by "next gen"? 😉 AMD plans on a completely new non-Bulldozer based next-gen x86 CPU architecture, possibly to be released in 2016 or so (the release date is unknown). As for Intel, I've not heard anything about a completely new architecture replacing their current Core architecture

since DDR4 is starting to show up the sep-oct release seems to be on track.

I mean the next cpus.
I want to buy a new CPU and I don't know if I should wait for
X99 or buy now a CPU.
 
Also depends on your usage case and budget. The only big (relatively) improvement I see coming soon is haswell E 8 core and possibly a cheaper six core than Ivy E. But the platform and ram will be expensive. So unless you can justify this platform, I see little to wait for.
 
NTMBK said:
What CPU do you have at the moment?

I planning to buy a new computer soon and I want to know if it's worth waiting for the new CPUs.
If I should wait, when will the new CPUs be launched? And do they worth the waiting in the aspect of the performances
 
We already know how well Haswell-E is likely to perform per core, all the other enterprise class chips have basically fallen inline with the previous consumer class just with more cores. So Haswell 6 or 8 cores will be 25-50% quicker than a standard Haswell CPU depending on how many cores the applications you use are using. That is it, its not interesting or complicated unfortunately. A lot more cost for moderate increases in performance in certain circumstances.

if you're doing a lot of critical video creation work or well-threaded scientific simulation, then no, not worth waiting, time is money and you're being paid for it, get an ivy-E with as many cores as you can afford.

if you're gaming, and have a sandybridge or newer processor, then yes, wait. haswell isn't much of an upgrade from sandy/ivy and you'd (most likely) be better served with a new graphics card. unless you're running a dual core and play some of the new highly threaded games, in which case upgrading to a quad core could be worthwhile.

if you're doing office stuff, anything newer than a core2 is fine when paired with an SSD (which is a recommended upgrade in all situations).

if you're facebooking, get an ipad.

Such as the borderline unicorn-esque "Berlin" series APUs 😛

I'm very interested by ECC, AES-NI, on an APU. But considering that it still seems like Kaveri is dribbling itself into the marketplace, I'm not holding my breath...:'(
 
I know what you mean. I wouldn't mind a Kaveri quad-core with 256 or 384 GCN shaders, but it would have to be around $100. None of this $170-180 BS. For that price, I would just buy an R7 290, maybe, for my Q9300 rigs.

So the Berlin APUs will be the ones with ECC?

I wonder if it will need a new chipset? Or can folks use the ECC on consumer boards like they did on the AM3+ platform?
 
I dunno if I should go ahead and get an FX 6300 or just wait for the next gen CPUs to come out. The wait is killing me.
