Haswell E details leaked - 8 cores!

I have also been waiting on a worthwhile setup to
replace my computer in my sig.

The Haswell-E 8 core sounds like a decent upgrade
and performance boost all around compared to my
current Core i7 980X setup.
 
Haldf the image slides are incorrect. Not even correct info on current Haswell is provided so I doubt very much that any of this is legit. Sorry
 
I have 18 months to save up
But then again this is way down the list of my purchases and i'll be at university then
Sooo i'm gonna have to choose to spend my placement money in one of two places, Haswell-E, or alcohol.... Choices.....

I thought it was dodgy as soon as they said no quad core.

So what if theres no quad core? Doesnt mean its not legit. Just saying.
Quad core for the mainstream, 6 + cores for the halo parts.

TBH I'm getting bored of quad cores. Six core minimum is a win imo for such a platform.
 
Will they be kind enough to keep model prices similar though?
And will DDR4 come in at crazy prices initially?

My focus remains firmly fixed on Ivy-E.
 
Yep, makes a clear line between the platforms. The quad on S2011 was only really there as a gateway CPU to entice people to then upgrade to more expensive CPUs in the future. With H-E that'll now be the low end hex with the octo to aim for for future upgrades.
 
This is my future upgrade I think, I think I saw somewhere that Haswell-E was due Q2-Q3 2015, which is probably a good time for me to upgrade from my current spec (2600K @ 4.5ghz).

I might go for the 8 core but obviously if it depends on pricing, looking at current prices of Intel's X79 solutions I'd say that the octo-core would be out of the price range of most people... including myself :) so it'd probably be a hex core for me by then! It's a long way off so who knows...

You can find room for both as long as you don't go overboard... and oh I forgot I live in pretty much the cheapest place in the UK to be a student :p to be honest you shouldn't need anything that high end for any work, if that was going to be your excuse, I know that was mine! I've ended up building up my PC to it's current state over the course of 2 years while at uni so while it is possible, be prepared to save for a long time...
 
It would be awesome if intel stick to their current enthusiast model pricing.
Imagine hex cores released at same price as 3820. I'm dreaming but we can all hope.

After the poor show that the 4770k puts up when overclocked, I think a decent clocking quad core on Haswell-E is more likely than ever.

Having seen the number of people using the 3820 rather than going for a 3770k setup, I think the market is there.
 
I'm not so sure a quad would do it, remember Haswell-e will need a new expensive mobo so the price jump is quite high. Intel will have normal haswells replacement out before haswell-e appears.

It would be no more expensive than someone buying an X79 mobo plus 3820
