i would like to have some information on broadwell

I would like some information for broadwell, I have seen only the i7 that is going to be 8core. What about i5? Also what about the release dates? And finally the prices.... Thank you

it the same no 8 cores, just 4, with 8 threads total.

Broadwell will be supported by the new 9 series boards. I believe it will also shrink to 14nm instead of Haswell's current 22nm.

As rgd1101 said, the i7's will have 4 cores with hyperthreading. And from what I've seen even Skylake will only offer 4 cores for the consumer market.

If you want 8 true cores you're better off looking at Haswell-E, or Broadwell-E.

As for the prices, they'll likely be around the same as current CPUs. This is at least the case for the Haswell refresh, and has been the same for intel over the past few years. I expect broadwell to follow the same pattern.

Broadwell should launch late this year, with Skylake emerging in mid-late 2015. The Haswell refresh is expected in the next month, with the Z97 boards being on sale next week.

In about a month i am going to build a rig wth z97 and i5 4670k for future upgrade of broadwell...what do you think? Shall i wait ? How much the i5 will live?

I'm not sure whether the i5 4670K will be compatible with Z97 motherboards.

Personally, I'd wait for the release of the i5 4690K which should release around June. It has a slightly higher stock clock speed and will have improved TIM for better overclocking potential.

If you're looking to do this in a month then definitely go with the 4690k not the 4670k, since it's essentially an improved version and should cost just around the same.

The i5 will continue to be great for years to come.

What about the price?

What about the price?

Overpriced, as usual.

Overpriced, as usual.

for example now 4560k has 190 euros what about the 4590k?

 

[JOOK-D]

It will probably cost around the same. Seeing as the 2500k and 3570k are still basically at their original retail prices too.
