Intel 2014 Haswell-E to pack 8 cores

I saw this a while ago, makes me wonder if Intel are going to do Broadwell 8 cores as well.
 
Brodwell, Brodwell 4 cores MAX. :)
Ivy Bridge is my last CPU with Internal Graphic.
In first moment I thought on upgrade because new redesigned motherboards.
But no way any more. Every improvement is so little and biggest is something what I disable immediately before boot. I will save more money and Haswell E, than one Extreme circle after 2 years miss, than again Extreme. Best option for people who want to invest little more for platform. 3 times better than every year 4cores 5% stonger.
People who cross from 1366-980X and 990X on Haswell E... they didn't miss nothing with SB, IB and Haswell. Nothing. Specially if they have last revision X58 with SATA III and USB 3.0. Only PCIe 3.0 is something new for them and exactly in time to upgrade on Haswell E and get PCIe 3.0. New generation of graphic cards will use that much better.

Definitely worth saving money, but looking Intel... I prey only to everything finish good for customers. I expect 15% more power than IB-E and good heat transfer, 4.0GHz Turbo, 8 core, that worth saving money.
No cheap grace, no Internal GPU,....only pure CPU power and big power consumption only for CPU. For that worth paying 350-400$ for motherboard.

Why it's nothing special, every months from now 50e in bank from now and until he show up 8cores Black box.
Sell 3770K+Z77 motherboard and I have for X99 Classified motherboard.
Only need money for memory.
Than again for 3 years start to save money and 4th years Black Box.
In mean time you don't need count, compare, measure,...
Exactly when you need upgrade, because Haswell is suffering, look multi compare with AMD and compare with new AMD.

Off course. That is upgrade for me.
Example 1136>Haswell Extreme
1136 980X is enough for all SLI combinations and today.
But if you need upgrade you have EVERYTHING IMPROVE!
DDR3>DDR4
DDR31066>DDR42133
Triple Channel>Quad Channel
SATA II>SATA III(SATA Express)
USB 2.0>USB 3.0
6cores>8cores
12MB>20MB

And they didn't miss nothing with SB,IB, SB-E,Haswell.
All with some kind of problems P67 B3 revision because SATA problem,
Ivy hot and nothing special from motherboard side, SB-E PCIe 2.0 suffering,
Haswell bug resolved with C2 revision.
If someone think it's cheaper, No.
They had 4-5 years time to save money and upgrade from 1366 on Haswell E feel real improvement.
But no one can say It's too far, 1366 is weak you need earlier.
OK if you have money but you don't lose nothing for 1-2 graphic cards and for gaming.
I run away far from Intel mainstream.
 
I hope, I hope...
I read somewhere about Skylake first DDR4 and SATA Express mainstream Intel CPU.
I hope somewhere after Brodwell Intel will launch Haswell Extreme maybe and with that new function. Who knows....
I will wait SATA Express for next SSD upgrade - 256GB.
But that will not crucial... always you can buy some PCIe SATA controller card for system SSD.
I have always enough empty fast PCIe slots.

The 3960x and 3970x have 8 cores...just 2 are disabled due to lack of competition, increase in heat, and decrease in overclocking ability (harder to get 8 cores stable than it is 6).
If AMD had anything that could even vaguely compete with Sandy-E, I reckon we'd have seen 8 core Sandy-E too tbh.

I don't think it will be any more expensive than current 3960x/3970x chips were at release (well, maybe a little, but not majorly).
 
OK, but imagine 8 core OC on 4.5GHz example. If they launch CPU with 4.0GHz Turbo and 8 cores, 500MHz on systems similar to H100 would be excellent.
I mean this coolers can't show real performance now when CPU is as nail.
With better heat transfer H100 and H100i can 500-600MHz even from 8cores.
Somehow I don't like 4.2, 4.3, 4.6, better is 4.5 or 5.0GHz. I love that numbers. :)
Same is with graphic card, 780 Classy immediately up on 1000MHz Clock after shoping.
That's important what you say. I though too, what if 3970X 6 cores cost
950-1000$, Intel can launch with 1200-1300$ for unlocked 8 cores CPU.
That's not right really. But who ask us...

Skylake bring and DDR4, SATA Express, AVX 3.2, PCIe 4.0.
SATA Express is really fast only need device to follow that.
Probably easy step by step.
Example for us with SB and IB too Skylake is real upgrade for mainstream or Haswell Extreme.
 
That is better, 6 cores is for me necessary and now and for gamers who upgrade PC now in this moment and think to stay on that 2-3 years like with every strong Intel even to change 2 GPU for one platform. I mean of course is better to pay more cores than Internal GPU and some cheap grace and remove that.
I'm not 100% sure I will had money for 8 cores because I don't know price but under 6 core I don't care at all and don't want something what I don't need only to influence of few C more. SB-E 3930K people can OC on 4.5-4.8GHz easy that is monster, problem is only that PCIe 3.0 sometimes, maybe issue with that.
But IB-E would be much better option than Haswell. Much worth of upgrade and investment in expensive motherboard. Now looking this I want to cry looking so good motherboards and CPU capability.
And I think games will soon start to use power of 4930K.
Maybe even now in Crysis 3 I'm not sure can notice difference with more than 4 cores.
I can bet he will can 4.5GHz. But when I mean 4.5GHz I don't think every 3rd test stable, I mean 200MHz more always stable and than you OC on 4.5 and hold years on that clock. Not now pass today maybe but I hold on 4.5 for now no BSOD.

Example people when ask me how much you can I say I hold on 3.9 and second profil wait new card for 4.5GHz. But in real life I can every test stable 4.8GHz during summer and 4.9 during winter.
I mean in max safe temps under 95C. But we didn't check IB with AIDA64 and CINEBENCH like people Haswell now, LinX AVX all memory 100 run, 12-24H Prime95 Blind on 4.8-4.8GHz.
