Intel's 8-Core Haswell-E coming in Autumn, but at what cost?

[WYP]

Intel's Haswell-E CPUs will be coming this year, but at what cost?

finally an upgrade from 6 to 8 cores on a mainstream socket

"read more here" doesn't work

Cheers dude, takes a few mins to get everything sorted on the frontpage.

I'm tempted with the Core i7-5820K if it does end up being quite cheap.

 

[Kushiro]

wait what, the 5820k will only be $350? Looks like it is time for an upgrade.

8 cores at 140 TDP, that is rather nice ^_^

Yeah, it makes AMD's FX 9590 @ 220W TDP seem even more ridiculous.

More so than before ^_^ AM|D need to sort their TDP out before they will take the market.

the architecture of pile driver is actually rather good.

I think one of the main reasons was the clock speed/factory OC on that thing xD. that and the size, arch etc etc

Sorry to go OT, but any word on next gen AMD CPU yet? or even stronger APU? Seems awfully quiet.

Things are quiet on the AMD front, the next bulldozer series core will be excavator, but from then who knows.

AMD haven't talked about anything beyond excavator for years, which makes me think a new core architecture is coming.

Damn haha, was actually hoping nothing would even potentially be coming from the AMD side to be honest. Now there is a reason that I can give myself to hold off on upgrading to this...

Thanks for the info nonetheless

Also I didnt realize they aired Bleach in the UK, how is it. OOps OT again, you'll let it slide wontchya :b

Drooling over that 5960x, probably going to end up buying the 5930K..

I hope it's based on Steamroller with stronger cores. then maybe my next rig will be AMD based

Why would you be hoping for no new AMD chip? I mean, if there is no competition in a particular market segment, don't expect a substantial leap froward. If AMD released a serious high end CPU, you would see an unlocked 12 core extreme edition CPU, an 8 core 5930K, and a 6 core 5820k or something..
(Ok, that's a little bit over the top)

If AMD would be uncomfortably close to intel, you wouldn't see tick tock. You would see a noteworthy improvement in performance with each generation.

Look at what the athlon 750K did to intel, that's the reason they released the G3258).

Err I think you may have misread my post, it was meant as a joke, and personally if AMD intends to release something it means I will not retire my trusty 2600k as it is still chugging along nicely at 4.87ghz @ 1.27v

Alrighty then.. For a moment I thought you're one of the fanboys that would rather see all competition die.. I have met quite a lot of them lately. Sorry I got carried away..

 

[Kushiro]

Haha, far from it, you should have seen my previous posts for about a month ago.

If the 5820K is a six core CPU then it makes me wonder there will be a skylake six core, the i7 maybe? Either way the 5820K looks like a bargain for the price.

 

[instinct_2k]

Looks like the next move for me. As I currently run a x78 based system moving to haswell wasn't a viable option

Current roadmaps show a maximum of 4 cores for Skylake processors...

That's why I'm thinking about a 5820k for my next upgrade, in 2015
