Thermal Interface Material?

 

[jimmysmitty]

The real question is what socket is it going to use? I am assuming it might use more than 2011, especially considering that it will be using DDR4 which has a very different approach compared to DDR3.

 

[ingtar33]

it's using 2011 v3... it will not be compatible with existing 2011 boards.

 

[lp231]

I doubt the cheapest would be $1000, most likely the Extreme Edition or the 8 core version. Other should be priced blow the $1k price point.

 

[Stimpack]

$1000 processors or not, if you plan to be at the front of the technological pack, then you'll need to plan to spend a good amount for it.

I just finished building a Z77 machine December 2012. I will wait for DDR4, PCIe 4, USB 4.0 and SATA4 supported nativly on the same board before i upgrade. So i will skip Z97 and most likely ZX7 (if that the next name).

I am still kicking myself for not wating for Z87 to get all 6 native Intel SATA3 ports instead of just 2 on my Z77.

 

[SteelCity1981]

Well there goes USB 3.1 and SATA Express, that I was expecting the x99 to support, but nope.

 

[Jgriff]

Waiting on that skylake.

 

[naihan]

Original dies, or Xeons with cores disabled? Any thoughts?

 

[fonzy]

wow I never would have thought when I bought my Q6600 that it would take this long almost another 7 years for Intel to come out with a 8 core desktop chip.

I will upgrade when they come down in price or wait for skylake.

 

[Amdlova]

Iam happy with z77 and the 3770k wih all fans disable (on only powersupply) i get 45W (idle) at stock speeds. I will buy another chip when I get 30 or less. I have the config. 1 - maximum OC 2 - Power saving. I can play with the havik 140 @ 4400mhz only with power supply fan. but when set 4.6ghz shutdown in few seconds after startup

 

[jaghpanther]

The thing that interests me is the difference between the K and X series. K if we keeping with tradition will have something(s) disabled, but what? X would be full feature but as OC'able as the K?

 

[nebun]

where is the x89 chipset??? am I missing something?

 

[bradsctt]

and again, Toms is late to the party. this was reported on over a week ago on other websites

no more budget friendly 5930K then...

 

[bison88]

There goes the hopes and dreams of bringing an $500 8 core part. Very disappointing they are keeping it at the $1,000 price range. It isn't worth that and given every single 6 core part in the Extreme lineup technically is 8 cores with 2 disabled it's very insulting. The only positive is that it'll allow 6 core parts to go mainstream outside the regular high-end lineup by pushing a $300 6 core part out and expanding the LGA2011 segment.

other than video and autocad.......what does a 8 core or 4 core core do better than a 2 core cpu? And Jesus H Christ.....1000 for a cpu? I remember when intel tried to do that with the Pentium 4 extreme edition.

 

[phatboe]

If you are doing Development work 8 cores makes compilation a lot smoother.

Do you live under a rock? Even the majority of gaming computers today are quad core. There is a substantial boost of the quad cores today vs. the Core 2 Quad age when comparing each to dual cores. Especially with the "Turbo Boost" clocks in the CPUs today (which enable when less cores are used) have a higher clock speed than that of the older dual cores.

they did you a favor, no apps have started using much of 8 cores till recently and beyond 4 cores are still not utilized in most apps, so your getting better overall performance with a fast quad core.

Snooze...

Meanwhile the technology has moved to HSA. Sorry Intel. Your days of high priced chicanery have come and gone.

Intel starting its downward death spiral. Outdated Fabs producing yesterday's tech
