Intel Haswell Comes with 14 Cores and 35 MB L3 Cache

God it's been posted on the internet it has to true!

Not being funny Softpedia has prove itself not to be the most reliable source of information over the years, besides my video card has 100's of cores and can computate a lot quicker then any CPU can.

The article states that this will be "Haswell-EP", which presumably will be the replacement for the Xeon E5 range (which was formerly known as Sandy Bridge-EP).

That would stand to reason as consumers simple have no need of a 14 core CPU and even then the most demanding applications can be done on a video card which costs less.
 
Will take it with a bucket of salt.

Haswell-EP, So the Xeon chips coming in about 2 years then. So no, not for general desktop users.
Also, DDR4 @ 2133...... i doubt they'll be looking at it that low down of a frequency.
 
Haswell is keep being mentioned on the server side, yet there hasn't been much concrete info on the desktop side aside from the general knowledge that desktop will be mainly dual/quad cores cpus again.
 
Hate to point it out but DDR2 and DDR3 overlapped at 1066mhz when DDR3 first came out... You can even get 1200mhz stable DDR2 so I wouldn't be surprised if 2133 was the DDR3/DDR4 overlap point.

looks like a pile of rubbish to me like first the state 190 watt now 14 cores and 35mb cache wait for official spec release then i will believe it

What do you mean, a pile of rubbish? The article, or the spec? I for one am greatly looking forward to getting even more cores per socket for things like virtualisation. Given that these are server processors, I suspect that there will be many people with similar views.

As for the 190w TDP, I don't think that's entirely unreasonable for 14 cores, considering the Xeon E5-2687W is rated at 150w for "only" 8 cores at 3.1GHz (3.8GHz turbo).
 
i just mean it is all speculation at the min and softpedia is not the most reliable place to get info from also going from 4 core to 14 core is a large step for intel since they been using 4 core as a main base for so long apart from the extreme chips with 6 core which are stupidly priced for the performance gain they give
