Any Broadwell news?

Feels like its gone really quite about this, there are some core M broadwell's but havent seen any desktop ones. where are they?

Probably won't be worth looking at anyways, especially if you're on z97 now. I just want Skylake to hurry up already so i can upgrade my desktop and macbook to both having ddr4 and other new goodies since my SandyBridge systems.

Expect 5-8% performance increase over the 4790k. I'm interested to see what overclocking is like though, for all we know the 14nm process could clock really well, if not, then Skylake is around the corner

Intel themselves claim only 3% IPC. In reality that will equate to... *fart*

If it can easily do 5Ghz i'd be excited but i'm thinking it will be a bust

I read this so often but I don't understand the obsession with 5GHz...? :confused:

You've never had a 5Ghz 2600K have you?

Nope, but ive owned several ivybridge and haswells at 4.5 which is the same.

is broadwell on a smaller node? cant remember now

if so might be interesting

ooOOoo

intel will still make it run hot as hell tho

Forget Broadwell, Skylake shouldn't be to far behind.

wazza300 · 22 Dec 2014 at 19:15

we get ddr4 with skylake I think,not that it will make much diff

I suspect the same with skylake too tbh. Seems to be the way with the mainstream cpu's now. The much touted improved thermals on DC were a laugh at best, DC is far warmer than IB or first gen HW.

You seem to believe this 3% to be fact, go ahead and link the article published by intel, which shows this 3%.

Skylake should be a cooler running CPU - intel are removing the integrated voltage regulator from Skylake.

My mistake, it was 5%

Ivybridge didnt have the integrated voltage regulator and they were still pretty toasty. Admittedly not just as bad as haswell though. Soldered IHS is what we really need tbh.

Skylake might be a good CPU but if you want the very best top end performance and with more than 4 cores, Haswell-E / Broadwell-E will probably still
better it at least until Skylake`s performance is fully unlocked and the 6 and 8 core extreme versions are released which will most likely be sometime in
2016 if Intel do plan to release extreme high performance versions of Skylake.
