Price wise, pcgameshardware.de review mentioned it was only $27 more expensive than the 4790k - I expected it to be much more expensive than this, so another win

It looks awesome tbh, great chip for HTPC / Small form factor. Wouldn't even need a dGPU.

This also bodes well for Skylake being a nice performer as well. If Broadwell can trade blows with (4790K) with a lower clock, then Skylake should be very nice.

Looking forward to Skylake -E.

It can overclock - the 'C' CPU's are also unlocked. Why they changed the naming convention's from 'K' to 'C' for Broadwell is quite confusing.

One review mentioned 4Ghz was no problem to obtain, I'm yet to find any thorough overclocking testing results.

Yea, I'm very impressed with this CPU for sure. And that IGPU with only 1W idle power draw...... Just crazy.

WTF - could these CPU's be soldered? :eek:

Bearing in mind they are using the stock cooler:

These must be soldered - Haswell at 3.7Ghz under a 30 minute torture test on the stock HSF would be 80-90DC!

but that price! One UK retailer has the I5 listed for £226.51

More likely just the lower tdp at play, this is Intel afterall, solder costs money

Hopefully someone will try and delid one soon so we can findout! Or maybe 8pack will drop in and let us know, I'm sure he's been raping a few of these already

It'd be nice to think mate, you may well be right looking at the Haswell numbers you posted.

Those IGPs are pretty mental. AMD are even getting left behind in that regard now with their ageing platform and architecture.

Yup, not been a good week so far for AMD.

With regard to IGPU, I honestly think that within the next few years dGPU won't be necessary any more, Intel with have Iris graphics line performing even better (Look how far they have come already) and AMD will have Zen + HBM. Awesome stuff for small for factor / HTPC.

Although not needing a discrete GPU for most applications would be a worthwhile saving

It's not a CPU for overclocking enthusiasts but these are going to sell well because of how strong the iGPU is.

Emlyn_Dewar · 2 Jun 2015 at 12:34

Seriously impressive iGPU scores from that chip.
An i3 with that kind of GPU would be a killer for AMD APUs currently.

Hopefully get some kind of iGPU war developing in the near future.

passey89 · 2 Jun 2015 at 14:16

Just looked at the anandtech benchs and at stock with a 290x and 980 its scoring same fps as a 4790k at stock.

With lower tdp than a 4790k the 5775c might be a nice overclocker!

Ayahuasca · 2 Jun 2015 at 14:20

It can't be overclocked properly can it? Via a multiplier.

These would be good for the PC gaming industry if they hadn't whacked up the price.

If the stock cooler is the same as for the 84W Haswell, it's likely just the combination of oversized cooler (so to speak) and chip TDP limit at 65W

Dave2150 · 2 Jun 2015 at 15:32

Anandtech confirmed that Broadwell-C (both the I5 and I7) are soldered chips! I knew they had to be with those crazy low temperatures during the burn test

They are all soldered down parts as well.

I wouldn't pop the champagne cork yet. Its unclear if he meant BGA as the quote leads on from him talking about -Y and -U processors and then the use of -H procs in all in one machines for business customers and being battery powered. All in the same paragraph.

edit: BGA is what he is using soldered to refer to.
