Haswell-E Core i7-5820K Will Only Have 28 PCI-Express Lanes

[Tanquen]

But I'm running a 3930k at 4.5GHz so looking at the 4930k and now the 5930k and thinking... ???

There's always a catch behind budget prices like that and this is clearly one of them. I knew that the 5820k is a $400 6-core CPU for a reason.

I'm hoping for more PCIe lanes so that I can get M.2 x4 right off of the CPU (maybe even two of them??) and still have my PCIe x16 slot.

This setup would be great for mini-ITX which usually only have 1 PCIe x16 slot.

cmon AMD, give us some new procs, or greedy blue will continue to rape our anyway empty pockets...

Intel do whatever it wants, there is no competition from AMD in the high-end market , the performance gap between Intel and AMD is increasing every generation , besides AMD doesn't have the resources to reduce its chips to 22 nm architecture , even Nvidia is pushing them hard in GPU markets too .

nobody is whining about the 140W TDP of a six core CPU. OC those CPUs @ 4,3 -4,4 GHz and you get very close to 200W TDP ^^. I can remember very whel the hype that was made when AMD launched a 5 GHz CPU (8 core) with 220W TDP ^^. Shame 😀

Let me correct you

1- AMD never launched 5GHz CPU. They launched 4.7GHz CPU with 5GHz max turbo clock.

2- AMD 220w CPU performs slower than intel 130w/140w CPU and 88w CPU like i7 4790K. In other worlds, the high TDP is not the problem. The problem with this CPU is that it has very poor performance for a 220w TDP.


3- No one should be whining about the 140W TDP because haswell-E is a beast when it comes to performance. Even without overclocking, it will smoke 220w AMD CPU and at same time is has much lower TDP

The newest PCI-E revision 3 (x4) is equivalent to the old revision (1) pci-e x16 though so this whole subject matter is rather mute 28 lanes is still plenty.

If a person spends $1K on a Titan Z, they expect their card to run at PCIe 3.0 to the fullest. They do not want it to run it at x8 or at x4 and then uses that old excuse "PCIe 3.0 x4 is the same at PCIe 1.0 at x16", just to make themselves feel better. Intel should have added 32 PCIe lanes on the 5820K, so at least, 2 gpus can run at x16/x16. Even the ancient x38 can do x16/x16

Core i7 5820K 28 PCIe lanes $400
$400/28 = $14.28 per lane

Core i7 5930K 40 PCIe lanes for $600
$600/40 = $15 per lane

Core i7 5960X 40 PCe lanes for $1,000
$1,000/40 = $25 per lane
