Broadwell-K i7 5775C/i5 5675C

2 options - not enough time or just Intel blocked that at launch. If the second one is the case, I guess the new 14nm process is not stellar in terms of OC. Let's all remember what disappointment so many people had when the 22nm process came out with Ivy Bridge to substitute the 32nm process of Sandy Bridge and everyone expected a bump in frequencies. And sadly we received a drop. I would not be surprised if Devil's Canyon overclocks better than Broadwell. I haven't read anything final as a confirmation whether the IHS is soldered or if they are still messing with crappy paste.

Good thinking, I'd side with the second option. If it's better than DC people will upgrade and put off skylake, if it's not they won't want to shout about it. In any case if the CPU cores at least match DC I'll upgrade because the iGPU will be a lot quicker for QuickSync encoding so for me it would be worth it. Just need a decent review.
 
wonder what sort of score this would get in super pi 32m since it should be able to hold all of it in the level 4 cache if it works like that with a seperate gfx card in effect.
 
i5 5675c or i7 4770 (none K) ? I have the 4770 spare so thats why it is an option.

Currently have the i5 4440 and GTX 970 for gaming at 4k... waiting to see what the new AMD card is like a long with everyone else.

Or just use the 4440 and wait for skylake?

If you already have the 4770, then go for it. Otherwise wait for Skylake. I doubt the Broadwell-C i5 is worthwhile. Cos if Broadwell C is good... I will regret buying my i7-4790k the other day.
 
Yay! more de-lidding. You think they'd dump it after the fiasco with the previous efforts. I'm not interested in going through that process again with costly hardware.

These 65W cpus do look impressive. However I suppose Broadwell-E should be a more exciting product for X99 users and hopefully it should be launching in less than a year in Q1 2016.:cool:

Yeah for sure. If you look at the improvements on the mainstream, these low clocked Broadwell parts are trading blows with much higher clocked Haswell parts.

So if you imagine a Broadwell -E chip with decent clocks and soldered, temps should be good as well. Definitely looking forward to seeing what they can do.

From a manufacturing cost point of view, why have more expensive/effective TIM on a chip that already has 'low' heat output and won't be used, in the majority of cases, by users who plan on overclocking the pins out of every processor they get their hands on? I'm a bit worried now though that if they've taken this route with broadwell, are they planning on doing the same with skylake?

Yeh was just about to post this also.

Oh well, wish it was soldered.

At stock (65w) these CPU's still run very cool - we just need to see the temperatures during a stress test when overclocked to 4790k speeds and higher.
