Broadwell-E_zpsbb26fd1e.jpg


Intel Corp. has decided to delay mass production of its next-generation code-named “Broadwell-E” microprocessor to the first quarter of 2016. Exact reasons for the decision are unclear, but probably the issues with the company’s 14nm process technology as well as the lack of competition on the market of ultra-high-end desktop platforms are among them.

There was speculation that Broadwell-E would be released in Q3 2015, one year after Haswell-E. But now this doesn't seem to be the case. Broadwell-E also appears to offer 6/8 cores.

No 10 cores in sight :(:p

Lets just hope to god that AMD's next generation core is revolutionary and far ahead of Intel's current offerings. Thats the only way we'll see anything more than a 5% performance improvement each year :(
 
Would have been a surprise to have seen it released at the end of 2015 looking at the way things are moving with the non E cpu`s
 
I reckon this development is gonna push back Skylake-E to 2017 aswell; the very cpu I am looking forward to.

I will be staying with my Q9650 till then.

We get more for our money at the end of the day when it comes to CPU's. Compared to the late 90's early 00's

I'm happy for Intel not to release another CPU for the next 3 years at least.

Why? Nobody would be forcing you to upgrade, and the release of new processors doesn't make what you own slower.

Whereas some could actually use the improved performance.

I wasn't talking about me upgrading, as I very rarely do. I'm talking about consumers in general.

I was on a i7 920 for years before I upgraded to my 4790K a few months ago. Back in the Pentium single core days a CPU wouldn't of lasted that long without needing to upgrade.

We get way less for our money. There was legit competition back then. Intel farting out these same-performing CPUs since Sandy, AMD nowhere. Back then when you bought a new CPU you actually got a tangible boost.

Nobody is forcing you to upgrade. You can now buy a good i7 and it will last you 4+ years before an upgrade is a worthwhile investment. You get 4-5 years out of a CPU, that was never true in the past. In terms of cost per day of a CPU, current CPUs are way more cost effective.
