Broadwell-K i7 5775C/i5 5675C

Yeh was just about to post this also.

Oh well, wish it was soldered.

At stock (65w) these CPU's still run very cool - we just need to see the temperatures during a stress test when overclocked to 4790k speeds and higher.

All depends what they stress test them with too tbh. For example, at stock speed my two 4790k's hit the mid 90's under p95 ver 28.5. Under asus real bench, the one in sig maxed at 83c at 4.7ghz on 1.300v.

The Broadwell chips are ideal for smaller form factors / low power performance PC.

But if you're high end gaming you would be better waiting for Skylake surely? An Intel Tock with DDR4 support and support for Cannonlake later on.

For those who want to build small for factor these Broadwell chips look amazing.
 
These chips wont matter if they are overpriced at £200 + that's what is worrying me there should be a quad at £100 let alone £200.

Agreed and early indications (from the few places that seem to have pre-orders) are that they'll be £225 and £300+ for i5 and i7 respectively. Knowing Intel, they won't come down much, if at all, and just be EOL'd pretty quickly...

Would it be worth holding out and getting a i7 5775C over a i7 4790k for a gaming rig?

Nope. According to the expected price, the Broadwell-C will be much more costly, partially because of the included Intel Iris Pro graphics, which will be obsolete for gaming uses. Plus there's the lower stock clocks. I was considering Broadwell-C myself, but realised the 4790k was a better option, so I ordered one about a week ago for my new build. Was on sale too, so I save a good few quid :)
 
I've noticed a trend (particularly for me), since 2500K people are more clued up about minor improvements year in, year out (and are not upgrading as much). I want an 8+ core CPU at 4790K prices. I get the feeling Intel are holding back due to lack of competition...

I was thinking about this myself. You can get a 6 core CPU with hyper threading for £300 now vs a 4 core CPU with a graphics chip for £275. The 6 core CPU has a die size of 356 mm² vs the Core i7 4970k which is 177mm2. In terms of die space there's loads of room for extra CPU cores, especially once you have done away with the ever increasing in size integrated GPU. The die sizeof Haswell-E is bigger due to the extra features

You could get a mainstream 6 core CPU from Intel, AMD have showed us that but more cores doesn't mean better and it would also mean Intel gave us a Devils canyon 6 core CPU without the graphics to save on money it would make the entry level Haswell-E redundant.

Broadwell seems to be an overclocking lemon - 1.4v needed for 4.4Ghz and 1.437v needed for 4.5Ghz.

I hope that's not indicative of what we can expect from Intel's 14nm process in general, otherwise it looks like I'll be sticking with my Sandy Bridge for at least another generation.
