rabbit Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Came across this site today and saw these. I'll definitely be getting my hands on one of these bad boys along some DDR4 RAM sticks. What about you guys? http://wccftech.com/intel-haswelle-core-i7-5960x-core-i7-5930k-core-i7-5820k-specifications-unveiled-flagship-8-core-boost-33-ghz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xernicus Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 First 8 core desktop processor I think not. That title goes to AMD's FX series. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excedo Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 First 8 core desktop processor I think not. That title goes to AMD's FX series. They mean, First Intel 8-Core CPU, since it's a picture/banner from Intel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 What Motafied said.It's about time that they implemented full 8 cores. I hated HT besides, It's going to be a huge improvement from my FX 8350. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader RedBaird Posted July 17, 2014 Leader Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) What is that in the bottom left corner of the pic: "Under embargo until March 19, 2014 5PM PT." ? Does that mean this Intel picture could not be released to the public until after that time in March of this year? ADDED: It looks like that is a common practice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_embargo Edited July 17, 2014 by RedBaird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADDED: It looks like that is a common practice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_embargo Clearly an attempt from AMD to disallow the purchasing of these CPUs. Can't be anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaperROS Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Well I've decided to still get the 4790k and the Asus Z79A. I've never been the one to purchase the first model of anything, and here you'd have to purchase a first model CPU, a motherboard, and the DDR4 Ram that goes with it. Speaking of the RAM, we've had DDR3 since 2007 and DDR5 on GPU's since 2008. Why have we not seen DDR4 or DDR5 on Motherboards by now? It's simple, because RAM speed for general CPU calculations is not all that important, however it is highly important when dealing with graphics.

GDDR5 on videocards is not the same as DDR5 RAM for your motherboard. Edited July 18, 2014 by Motafied! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobba Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I thought DDR5 ram didn't even exist yet as ddr4 is on he horizon. BTW GDDR5/GDDR4 is a derivative of DDR3 ram. Its pretty great that Intel is making the first ddr4 supported CPU, Intel is always the first to hop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronaldounit0 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 8 physical cores with hyperthreading....... That's 16 cores guys 0_0 The one thing I am somewhat disappointed in is that it's LGA 2011 and not LGA 1150. I feel like you force a lot of people to buy more than one product to use another product (which I understand is necessary to run this hardware, they aren't doing so because they feel like it), and in all actuality I just wanted the CPU. Maybe one day (another 5 years from now probably haha) I'll upgrade to one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JoeDirt Posted July 23, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 23, 2014 I am getting a cherry picked 5960x from my good buddy Mark from Intel......... for free. That means that $1000+ bucks can be spent on some sweet sweet watercooling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then I will stick with my 660ti and my i5 3570k... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
