Intel 14nm Skylake Processors To Feature PCIe 4, DDR4 Memory and SATA Express

Boomstick777 · 2 Jul 2013 at 21:00

We know that Intel’s Haswell-E “HEDT” platform will bring quad channel DDR4 memory functionality in 2H of 2014 but what about the mainstream LGA115* lineup?.

That tablesays haswell is ddr4 too -.-

Also says Sandybridge is PCI-E 3.0.

I thought that meant Haswell -E.

The mainstream will be DDR3 up until Skylake..

Martini1991 · 2 Jul 2013 at 21:13

Actually, you raise a valid point about the -E, since Westmere is up there.

Skylake mainstream looks pretty good, especially as it's only a couple of years away..
Think their will be 6 core variants? Would hope 6 cores would be mainstream by then, 8 or more cores at the high end...

maybe, it was just interesting. it makes more sense now that i remember that they haven't released e-ivy yet.

So I'll ignore Broadwell too and just buckle-down with this i5 750 3.8GHz+ till Skylake. It's funny because I'm hoping the new consoles really help push things again, but otherwise not wanting to need Broadwell if those new features come next

...Maybe AMD will save me in that potential gap by beating Intel to the punch with those things.

PCIe 4, DDR4 Memory and SATA Express

FINALLY - a decent step up in features!

I could, in theory, get use of all of those: new gpu, faster ram and faster ssd

Exactly how it will be and matches what has been rumoured for a few months.

makes broadwell look pretty pointless?

also need gpu's to take advantage of pcie4,pcie3 is a minuscule improvement atm

Haswell 500 Gflops? twice that of Ivy?

Where do they get that from? :confused:

Id say the IGP

They are quoting highest theoretical speed, if you programmed the software to use the dx11 comput features (sorta like cuda)

Hoping that Skylake finally sees Intel move to 6 or 8 cores for mainstream parts, seems like we've been stuck with dual and quad cores for a very long time now.

Desktop Broadwell has been canceled anyway hasn't it?

don't know,dont thinkso

its all separate tiers now desktop/tablet/laptop

Martini1991 · 3 Jul 2013 at 20:36

-E don't have GPU.

WingZero30 · 3 Jul 2013 at 20:38

Hopefully my Q9650@4GHz would be able to keep up till then

I was thinking of upgrading to Haswell first but after seeing the issues, I have decided to skip it in favour of Skylake :cool:

VIPER258 · 3 Jul 2013 at 23:47

Well looks like Skylake is the next upgrade from my 3570k.

when something sounds to good to be true...
