***Official Intel Haswell Thread***

Yeah if the motherboard has new SATA express ports,maybe new CPU to handle ddr4? Idk but you know what Intel are like for making us pay

So Intel are going to release Sata Express and DDR4 in a single generation?

And here I am planning to buy a Haswell i7?

DDR4 is more likely to happen for Skylake, not Broadwell. Broadwell seems a bit soon would also mean a Motherboard/LGA life of 1 generation, can't really see that happening. It's making it's desktop debut with Haswell-E, which won't be until at very least late 2014.

http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/memory...DDR4_Usage_with_Server_Platforms_in_2014.html

Intel's client chips in 2013 - 2014 timeframe - Haswell, Rockwell/Broadwell - will continue to rely on DDR3 memory since it is expected to provide enough bandwidth for mainstream applications with four cores and integrated graphics engine, especially with some tweaks like embedded DRAM, level four cache and so on.

It seems clear until now that Broadwell chipsets will be support the new ‘SATA 3.2′ SATA Express chip with codenames Z97 and H97, but its also being found out that Intel plans to have DDR4 memory specification on Haswell-E lineups. Haswell-E is designated to replace Ivy Bridge E, which had only one year of life. 14nm Skylake viz. scheduled for Q1 2015 release will be support DDR4.

Well, yes. What with games being easily gpu limited. There are uses for computers beyond computer games. I'd go so far as to say that the vast majority of uses of computers are not games.

You don't need 5ghz for games either. Weird double standards in your post.

I want 3GHz ram :)

How is there double standards in my post? lol. I think you will find there are quite a few games that will benefit from 5ghz.

I don't think you can put ram and cpu at the same level to be honest. Lets say these haswell's did 5ghz with no sweat, people would be much more interested in that, then say there was 3ghz ram. I would not upgrade my system for 3ghz ram simply because to my knowledge that will make little difference to game or general use. CPU speed is much more important than RAM speed ever will be ;)

I would like to add, correct me if I am wrong :D
 
I've just been reading a preview for the z87x-oc force, it appears to have switches to change the base strap??? I'd have thought it would be locked down to 1.0x like sandy/ivy?
 
This has peaked my interest greatly, now just to wait and see how the thermals hold up with the chips, ivy almost made water pointless, hope the same isn't true of haswell. Even if they do use tim they may have a better application method.
 
Sorry if this seems like (another) dumb question from me but will there be overclocked Haswell bundles available next week and will I be able to use my Kuhler 920 with it?
 
All good news then... Ha ha.

From what I've been reading about DDR4, the initial boon will be power savings in standby rather than an enormous jump in speed. Though obviously as the tech matures and software makes use of it...

Looks really good for laptops in a couple of years time. DDR4 and izgo panels...

I think i read that it will support bclk overclocking more

I saw that rumour as well but it hasn't been confirmed by any of the leaked overclocked reaults the bclk in all of them was still 100.

Hi,

Will haswell cpus run cooler with the GPU part disabled? does it even let you disable the GPU?
Click to expand...

If the igpu isn't being used it will run in idle mode with just one execution unit in operations at a reduced internal clock. You might as well use it with Lucid Virtu to give youself a free speed bump, given how quick its meant to be this time around it makea it even more worthwhile.
