Who's skipping Haswell-e and Broadwell-e?

Similar here, the difference is quite significant, I could almost buy another 4790 for the difference in prices. The point is the prices are practically as far apart as they have always been between HEDT and regular i7 due to RAM prices which negates how much cheaper 5820K is compared to both 3930K and 4930K. People only look at the CPU prices and think they are similar in price while in fact they as similar as they have been since 3930k.
It's like saying 970 and 980 are the same price because what is 200$....
ps. cheapest 4790K in here 1325 cheapest 5820K 1515, probably due to volume. Almost 15% price difference for the CPU. MSRP isn't everything.
Prices in PLN

The largest difference is Motherboard price. Personally I think the price difference is pretty small, when you consider total system cost. But that's a glass half empty/half full discussion.

The difference in the price of the entire platform is still significant, but you get so much more for making that leap though.

Honestly If I didn't OC and didn't have so many hard drives I would go for 4790K, the difference in stock frequency is quite significant, I still value ST performance much more than MT.

I suspect the 5930K is higher binned - there is a 200MHz gap between it and the 5820K. It looks to me like the 5820K is the reject chip actually.

Yeah, the 'reject' that OCs higher from many reviews.

All of these are Xeon rejects.

Including the $1000 5960x chip.

speaking of rejected chip.



chip making is far from perfect.

from the fastest haswell i7 to the slowest haswell celeron. all starts out as the same cpu given the same family. each and every chip is binned - for core, for cache, for igpu, for hyper threading, for speed, for temp.



so unless you own the fastest chip in its family. you have rejected chip.

I'm not even sure how Intel determines Xeon rejects when all of these chips clock beyond 4ghz with very little effort, and Xeons are clocked much lower than desktop parts. Outside of disabling some cores and sending out a lower core part, the 5960X has no cores that can be disabled on die and still be an 8 core. The higher core Haswell Xeons are different dies.

I would love to know also but only someone that is inside can shed light on how it works.

I've looked at Haswell-e and even with a multi GPU (290 CrossfireX) setup the % gains would not be a good value for the money spent (vs my current i5-3570k/Z77). Plus, I don't really have any FPS issues on anything I play, when I have time to play...

I'm actually shopping for a new monitor instead of going Haswell-e. Maybe a Qnix 320QHD with DisplayPort.
