Hasswell or Hassell-e

[theodoristef]

Should i wait for hasswell-e or buy a hasswell cpu ? and how much you thing they will cost ?

I'm sure the Haswell E cpus will be priced similarly to the Ivy bridge-E processors that are out right now, but there will be an octacore version which would likely be more than anything on the market today on the consumer side. Unless you think you need more than 8 threads, or plan to run more than 3 gpus in sli just get a haswell processor.

Unless you use massively threaded software, plan to run triple/quad-SLI/CF or run extremely memory-intensive applications, regular Haswell should be fine.

For price, mainstream Haswell is priced roughly the same as Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge with a $10-20 premium. The same goes between SB-E and IB-E so I would expect Haswell-E to be more of the same too. So if you want to know the next generation's price, you can pretty much take the current-gen parts' current prices, tack on an extra $15 premium and you get a fairly accurate introduction price estimate.

octacore 8 real cores 2*8=16 threads ?

yes there will be 8C/16T processors in the Haswell-E line its just going to be unlocked versions of the 8 core Xeons that exist today.

is an 8 core cost about 500 euros ? or 1000 ?

Since Haswell is on the same process as IB, I would guess the 8-cores would be only the $1000 model... so we might end up with quad/$350, hexa/$600 and octo/$1000.

so i must wait to buy a 4*2=8 core hasswell e cuz of the pcie4 and ddr4 features
