Broadwell-K i7 5775C/i5 5675C

What happened to the availability of these cpus?

Skylake is just around the corner and we have not seen these cpus hitting the shelf yet. Are these in a very limited supply?

Won't outperform an OC 4790K if overclocking is that poor, surely that chip is a dud.

Remember in benchmarks at stock speeds the 5775c is getting the same fps as a 4790k at stock.

4.5ghz is a 1.2ghz overclock for a 5775c.

How high to the volts on a 4790k need to be to get 5.2ghz?

6 core+ is defo the way to go now

% not absolute

% not absolute

4.5ghz in a 5775c is 36% overclock.

36% overclock on a 4790k is 5.44ghz not obtainable at all.

The 5775c is looking to be a nice cpu tbh and if it uses less power as well its good for me.

im sure it is nice - know anyone , anywhere on the planet which actually sells them in stock?

Yeh but 1core 1 thread? Really usefull. Basically a cpu from 10 years ago.

They are in limited supply, yes. A few retailers have had them in stock from time to time though, it seems the demand for these is way higher than Intel predicted.

That or the 14nm production lines are busy spewing out Skylake CPU's, as Intel knows they'll sell like hotcakes?

 

[Orangey]

If they didn't mothball that brand new fab it might have been more ubiquitous

This^

6 core is the way for a upgrade.

Big OEMs have first dibs on these so retail might have a job getting them.

got any source to say retailers have actually had them? as so far newegg has had 0 - and they are amongst the biggest in the usa

 

[Killer7xx]

They seem very scarce at the moment, not sure why. Intel seemed to release them on the sly but I've seen no retailers with any in stock. Or maybe Intel is mainly selling to OEMs instead of us normal consumers.

 

[VaderDSL]

I assume if Broadwell had come at it's usual time in the cycle Intel would be assigning most of it's resources to getting it on the shelves.

With Broadwell being so heavily delayed and Skylake around the corner, I imagine Intel will be making just enough for the OEM side of things whilst forging ahead with manufacturing Skylake for a proper release.

Pointless in Intel's eyes pouring resources into what is essentially an EOL product before it even hits store shelves.

At least that's what seems likely a scenario to myself.

 

[Freddie1980]

Sorry for the bump but are these chips ever going to come out into the retail market? I thought these were meant to come out in Q2, early reviews hit Toms and Anand in June.

 

[pastymuncher]

They are out, or the i5 is anyway. I know of at least one major seller that has stock of the i5 5675C for £215.

So Intel aren't exactly going all out to get these chips into every retailer then.

 

[nomad2012]

I have seen I7 5775C for 339.

I really don't see why they even bothered seeing as Skylake is here in a couple of weeks. Apart from the igpu Broadwell isn't really much of a performance gain over Devils Canyon.
