Broadwell-K i7 5775C/i5 5675C

Why have written 'Once again, these two ....'

That wasn't the issue, the issue was you saying Skylake was 15% faster than Haswell based on benchmarks we can't confirm. Now you're diverting onto another subject lol.

Until we see legit benchmarks / reviews I expect Broadwell to bring about 5% improvement over Haswell and Skylake 5% over Broadwell.

So Skylake could be roughly 10% over Haswell.

I'm done with this foolishness :p

Let's try keep this thread on topic and about Broadwell. I have a Skylake thread going where we can debate Skylake's IPC :)

I saw on another site earlier a listing for "6700" (non-K) $380 also... what's going on?

I'd edit out the competitor link mate, or you may get into trouble.

I think it has to be a price mistake though, $376 Canadian dollars is roughly £200, which even after VAT and the UK sucker tax would put it way too cheap, compared to the top I7 mainstream part price we've come to expect.

We've already seen it's SuperPI scores (from the facebook leak) which are unimpressive, since this CPU is clocked way slower than a 4790k and has 2MB less L3 cache.

Once again, these two Broadwell-C CPU's are not meant to be successors to the 4790k. They are successors to the 4770R (Iris Pro Haswell). Skylake 6700k is the true successor the the 4790k.

That seems most logical, at least to those of us with logic :D
 
ERk, I feel like an idiot for thinking I could make a quick build with Pentium AE and then upgrade to a splendid Broadwell-K later...

Not seeing much point if those prices are true - better to go to the place by the sea and pick up a used 4690k.

hmmm PCPer are saying Intel going to NOT release Broadwell for retail and it`ll be OEM only? big launch to be Skylake instead with full product range??

It could well be that it will be OEM only - remember these CPU's are designed for those without a GPU - so kinda useless for us with our Radeons/Geforce GTX's. The 4790k is very likely slightly faster, considering it's clockspeeds, and quite a bit cheaper than Broadwell-C.
 
Utter rubbish. Broadwell better be available retail and be faster than haswell otherwise definitely damn them to hell. They can bloody well kiss my custom goodbye. I'll wait for AMDs next move.

Wouldn't of forked out on socket 1150 had I known it would be obsolete less than 12 months later, would have gone 2011 instead. Scoundrels!

Ha! If true. Again Intel screwing people over who purposely went out and bought a z97 motherboard or upgraded (or sidegrade) from z87.

Doesn't matter, those people will likely be annoyed for 10 minutes and then go out and buy all new Skylake parts for a negligible-to-nil improvement in games.

Ha! If only... not everyone can just upgrade to the latest & greatest :(

These last few cpu generations have been so underwhelming compared to the heady days of Athlon, Core2 Duo, 2500k, Celeron 300A etc LOL...
 
2500k wasn't an amazing chip either an overclocked i5 750 matches a 2500k so it's a myth that sandybridge was some amazing leap.
