conspiracy theory: antutu is compiled on icc thus crippled arm socs and makes baytrail appear faster... 😗

Intel reveals upcoming Atom SoCs, opens foundry business to competitors

WOW! Four threads per core? So hyper-hyper threading?
 

this part doesn't make sense
According to a new chart obtained by VR-Zone, Intel will begin the refresh process in the second quarter with the non-K series of chips then move on to the K-series in the third quarter. The K-series will use the Haswell-E architecture and likely support DDR4.
because lga115x and lga 2011 have two different k-series cpus. that excerpt wrongly implies that lga115x will get haswell-E and ddr4 support.
 

the k-series broadwell, rumored to be compatible with current hsw platform, will have iris pro(class) igpu with edram. those skus look like 14nm versions of current R-series hsw cpus down to cache size. i'm guessing they will have the same 40 eus but each eu upgraded to a design. so far, intel has introduced new igpu designs with cpu shrinks (i have ivy bridge as the sole reference 😛). i think it helps them concentrate on one major sub-system at a time. with iris pro-class igpu, intel might be designating nearly half of the die to igpu. only atom was exception to this... may be that's why it took them so long to design baytrail...however, cooling these long (in area size) dies would be a pain, using current coolers... except may be the aio coolers like corsair hydro series h55.
 

Maybe they end up returning to soldered on heat spreaders instead of using thermal paste to aid with the heat dissipation?
 
Here’s a first look at a Haswell-E engineering sample
http://vr-zone.com/articles/heres-first-look-haswell-e-engineering-sample/66688.html


gains are not linear like that. in terms of per-shader graphics performance, intel is quite behind amd. intel is ahead only in the bandwidth and memory subsystem, which helped them get ahead of amd 7660D igpu, which doesn't have edram and suffers from bw bottleneck. intel will have to significantly beef up broadwell's shaders to get ahead of gcn 1.0 which i highly doubt will happen. then there's software support, validation, isv adoption and so on and getting over intel's own inflated ego...

i checked intel's website, core i7 4770R (the dt sku with iris pro) is priced at nearly 400 bucks and core i5 4670R is around $320. these prices are prohibitive for users who actually need and benefit from them. intel can, in theory, use desktop silvermont and airmont cores with iris pro and really go after entry level dt markets but they won't.
