Hardware & Technical Haswell-e leaked

X99 here we come. Not long to go now, X79 RIP....


Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Haswell-E

To begin with, the upcoming Haswell-E will have one X-type processor or the Extreme processor, and two K-series or the unlock processors. The Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Haswell-E processor, being the flagship CPU, features a total of 8 cores / 16 threads and has Hyper Threading. It has a base clock of 3.GHz with 20MB cache and will support DDR4 memory. It will also support multiple graphics card configuration with the first two cards running at x16 speed and the third one running at x8 speed. It will also have a maximum PCI Express link speed of 8GT/s and a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 140W.

Intel Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K Haswell-E

The Extreme processor is followed by two Core i7 processors with unlock multipliers – the Intel Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K Haswell-E. Both processors features 6 cores / 12 threads, also with Hyper Threading, and has a base clock of 3.5GHz and 3.3GHz respectively. The Intel Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K will also support DDR4 memory and a memory frequency of 2133MHz. Both processors are somewhat the same, but they differ in the PCI Express configuration. The Core i7-5930K will have 2 x16 + 1 x8 configuration, similar with the Core i7-5960X; meanwhile the Core i7-5820K will only support 1 x16 + 1 x8 + 1 x4 multiple graphics card configuration.

If this is indeed so, then I see no sense in Haswell-E at all. Extreme Haswell will cost 1000EUR, while 5930k will have only 6-cores. I was hoping for 5930k with 8-cores.
 
I'm still running with an original Nehalem i7, and it does me proud. I think I've skipped about 4 generations or so and still haven't found anything that requires an upgrade. Swapping the GPU every other year seems to do the trick so far.

I have a Sandy Bridge i7 and in the light of the news from this thread I think I can easily wait for a Skylake with it.
