Poll: POLL: HASWELL-E, DDR4 & X99, WHO's IS UPGRADING TO IT?

[mmj_uk]

1-2 weeks most likely, got to find a buyer for my kidney first but it'll be worth it.

 

[eyetrip]

That x99 deluxe has me wanting to upgrade just because it looks so frigging nice!

But no.... Must wait til 2016. Must wait. Must not buy. Don't need.

WANT

 

[Orangey]

How long do they wait before bringing out the new Rampage Extreme boards? Is it similar wait to the Lightning/Matrixs?

 

[darth.mader]

I'm so hype, but OCUK are a bit... Expensive. *cough*someone else*cough* is offering 3000MHz DDR4 for like... 150 quid less than you guys.

 

[NMBlack]

Asus pics finally

Although I prefer Gigabyte boards, I'll say that's a good-looking board.

 

[Mal X]

that board looks entry level, the white looks cool but wont look right inside a black rig...bad colour clash.

i'd go for another SOC FORCE just as long as it's not over 160 quid

 

[Klunt Bumskrint]

Why can't we even pre-order? Doing my head in.

 

[DiscoDave]

I'd love to upgrade but there aren't any games I can't run at a decent framerate, hmm.

 

[David Bisset]

I opted for "Maybe: Shall consider Z97 or X99 based on reviews" because there wasn't an option for "Will upgrade when I'm confident the wife isn't looking".....

Haha, I'm tempted to do something similar, just not sure I'd manage to get away with it!!

 

[krooton]

I'll keep my 2700k firing on all cylinders until it isn't good enough

 

[BlackAle]

Will wait for Broadwell or more likely Skylake before I consider an upgrade.

 

[darth.mader]

Will wait for Broadwell or more likely Skylake before I consider an upgrade.

Yes mate. Skylake is the one for me

Confirmed US prices

Intel Core i7-5960X – eight cores, 3.0GHz/3.50GHz clock-rate, 20MB cache, 40 PCI Express 3.0 lanes – $999;
Intel Core i7-5930K – six cores, 3.50GHz/3.70GHz clock-rate, 15MB cache, 40 PCI Express 3.0 lanes – $583;
Intel Core i7-5820K – six cores, 3.30GHz/3.60GHz clock-rate, 15MB cache, 28 PCI Express 3.0 lanes – $389;

 

[LambChop]

5930k at current rates is £351 and the 5820k is £234 we must be talking after shipping and tax about £429 for the 5930 and £299 for the 5820k ?

 

[Bart_Hunt]

I think you will have to add the 20% or so.

 

[kael13]

30% after you add 'being from the UK' tax.

 

[^JP^]

I fully expect the 5960X to cost £999+VAT regardless of what it costs in other countries.

 

[Mal X]

Will wait for Broadwell or more likely Skylake before I consider an upgrade.

the next thing to buy will the latest AMD dual card next year....whatever that will be.

DDR4 will be late 2015/16........the Broadwell fits mine, but it isn't worth it if i'm going to swich to DDR4 in late 2015

 

[Mal X]

I fully expect the 5960X to cost £999+VAT regardless of what it costs in other countries.

it'll never be that expensive if it's aimed at gamers, more like 450 quid, all of you have your prices wrong, way too high

Yeah that seems about right, 5820K around £300 looks like a great deal imho.

Looking forward to seeing the reviews on the 29th. Have a feeling the 5820K is going to be on everyone's upgrade list..
