Broadwell-E to launch at Computex 2016 with 10 cores

[WYP]

Intel's Broadwell-E CPUs are rumored to launch at Computex 2016 with 10 cores and 20 threads.

nice, can't wait till these are released, will be at home in the new rig planned for next year.

let's hope the prices are good, 4 SKUs this time instead of 3, so Intel might either be making the 6800K a lower price model, though I think they might just bump the 10-core model to a higher price than the 5960X was at launch.

Intel haven't been specific on pricing yet, but they have hinted it would be something like this:
6950X ~$999
6900K ~$620
6850K ~$560
6800K ~$450

Agreed, maybe spread out a bit more for the 6900K, ~$700-$750? The current $560 to $1050 is a huge jump for 2 cores and lower stock speeds.

that doesn't seem right to me, the $60 premium for the 6900K is far too little for two more cores and the $110 premium for the 6850 is too much for a clock speed bump/ speed binning.

Don't take the pricing literal, it's a rough number I've estimated from different sources. We will have to see what the final price is, but from my experience with earlier releases and their prices, this shouldn't be too far off. Take it with a grain of salt though.

Finally, something to upgrade my 3770K from. I would still be running my 980X in my main system if it were not for a school project.

Ok people, I need some help here.

For the Haswell-E 8 core processor the memory compatibility states it's set at 2133mhz. And the new Broadwell-E's memory compatibility is set at 2400mhz.

What does all this mean?

If I purchase 2800mhz, will it be useless as the processor can only utilize the memory compatibility factor depending on which CPU I purchase?

Sorry, I fail in life, that's why I'm here. To learn from all you expert PC Builders.

Everyone's got to start somewhere dude! You can make good use of faster (than certified) memory on any unlocked processors (such as Haswell-E/Broadwell-E) when using XMP profiles or by manually changing the memory settings within the bios to match your memory kits figures.

In essence what Intel list in the specs is what will work with 100% of their CPUs, with most CPUs being able to use memory at much higher frequencies.

The say Skylake supports 2133 or 2400MHz, but my chip is easily running 3200MHz memory.

I see not problems with a 2800Mhz hit for Haswell-E.

It was the same with Sandy Bridge and other older CPUs, Intel said 1333MHz, but most chips could run 2133 easily.

Intel just cover their asses here really.
