Intel Core i7 4790K Devil’s Canyon Review (inc. Overclocking)

also contemplates accelerated chip degradation after applying high vcore.
intel seems to have only tweaked the t.i.m. and the packaging. didn't re-spin or bin.

Scary if it does. The idea of government agencies and hackers spying at any moment isn't an ideal feeling. Great technology that will, unequivocally, be exploited.

Privacy is a good thing.

 


Exactly. What if someone or a group of people manage to hack into the code. They could have the car open at will, and they could control it.
 

Well that goes into any kind of technology.

EDIT; finally the Intel thread got moved into the CPU forum. I have always been wondering why it was in the systems forum.

broadwell laptop, ulv and desktop cpus timeline? i don't know what qs and pv means
http://chinese.vr-zone.com/120198/intel-14nm-broadwell-will-remain-mostly-at-2015-first-half-and-only-core-m-for-y-series-in-2014-07032014/
from the chart, looks like bdw dt will come out in q2-q3 2015. i suspect bdw dt chips aren't hitting high enough clocks and/or meeting tdp goals.
good news(!) is that we'll get LGA quadcore with edram. bad news is, there are no quadcore with gt3 sans edram, means +80 bucks. 🙁 better news is, there'll finally be bga dual core cpus with gt3e igpu - i expect those to gain good market penetration. lga 2c+gt3e woulda been even better.

techreport's pentium g3258 review

pclab.pl pentium g3258 review
http://pclab.pl/art57691.html

iirc it was gamerk who said that a core i3 would lose to an 8 core fx in terms of smoothness. since core i3's lack overclockability, this would be true. but an unlocked dual core like pentium might just be able to keep up or beat the higher core cpus with overclocking.

intel is prepping for full chipset replacement with skylake
http://wccftech.com/intel-skylake-s-platform-specifications-detailed-z170-100series-chipset-replace-z97-2h-2015/
copied from vr-zone chinese site.
 

damn. 3.8GHz for a dual core is excessive, lol. this is prolly as close as an unlocked core i3 we'll get... except may be... 4.0-4.1 Ghz BDW core i3. it's possible! starting with skylake's new uarch, intel might attempt to start from a new clockrate base.
 
Intel Admits to Broadwell Delays in its Q2 Call
http://semiaccurate.com/2014/07/18/intel-admits-broadwell-delays-q2-call/
apparently 10nm is "on track" and won't be affected by 14nm delay. seems like the delay will affect the whole range incl. the atoms.

Oracle compels Intel to build a special chip

+sarcasm
http://semiaccurate.com/2014/07/18/intel-dynamically-scales-core-counts-oracle/


i agree. although, the intel quads at that price point are quite faster than T and S series cpus due to higher base clockrate (over 3.0 GHz in cheaper cpus).
i think these are mobile chips in desktop packaging and tdp. msrp is high most likely because of the perf/watt binning.

I'm anticipating some decent profit sharing bonuses from my job the next several months. I'm thinking about a possible CPU / motherboard upgrade in the short-term future. I eventually want an audio card for distributing surround sound through an external sound system for games, but all of my current PCI-E space on my current motherboard is being used up. With a single video card (I will upgrade to an Nvidia 800 series GPU), TV tuner, and audio card, will I need an X99 motherboard and at least an i7-5820k CPU since it supports at least 28 PCI-E lanes (40 for the 5930k)? Or can I keep what I have, but upgrade the GPU and get a USB audio card? My motherboard does not support overclocking and I'm running a stock CPU cooler. I'll try to keep my existing PSU, though the TDP for Haswell-E is high.

after all the foreshadowing of ditching pcie lanes, bga packaging, shutting out dgfx and killing desktops in the name of power efficiency and moniez, desktop bdw is not only lga, it's compatible with lga1150 socket(prolly after a bios update), lol. i am not expecting a lot of cpu performance improvement.
 
Braswell has 16EU (8th gen)

Edit: Baytrail-D has 4EU, so the low end replacement part is looking at 4x the graphics capability.
 
broadwell preview roundup:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-14nm-broadwell-y-core-m,3904.html
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8355/intel-broadwell-architecture-preview
http://techreport.com/review/26896/intel-broadwell-processor-revealed
http://semiaccurate.com/2014/08/11/intel-talks-14nm-process/
In short a shrink from A -> B no longer means the minimum drawn feature size conforms to (A^2) = 2(B^2) but a cell size of X on process A will be X/2 on process B. That is the key, the area used by a cell halves but the how changes and does not necessarily track to a specific factor like minimum drawn feature size. This is why SemiAccurate and others are annoyed by Samsung, Global Foundries, and TSMC calling their ‘shrink’ from 20nm ’16nm’. What they are delivering is a 20nm process with planar transistors replaced by FinFETs but the Back End of Line (BEoL) or metal layers barely changes. That means almost no effective shrink, Samsung is claiming between a 7% and 15% for their 20nm to their 14nm nodes.

Such shrinks are more in line with a normal mid-life process optimization than a real shrink from 20nm to 16nm. This is the long way of saying other than Intel’s, no 14/16nm process is an actual shrink from 20nm planar, cell size does not come close to the theoretical (20^2)/(16^2) shrink factor, it is almost non-existent. If Intel does deliver what they claim, we buy the naming of their “14nm” process, the rest are effectively slinging a load of BS to the non-technical masses this generation.

let's see what sam/glofo/tsmc say about their own processes. 😗

broadwell Y series
http://semiaccurate.com/2014/08/11/intel-talks-bit-broadwell-y/
 
Now if Intel can create a new branding for mobile CPUs, then how about toying around with the idea of various levels of core desktop CPUs such as this:

Core i3 = 2 cores / 4 threads
Core i4 = 4 cores / 4 threads
Core i5 = 4 cores / 8 threads
Core i6 = 6 cores / 6 threads
Core i7 = 6 cores / 12 threads
Core i8 = 8 cores / 16 threads
Core i9 Extreme Edition = 8 cores / 32 threads (quad-hyperthreading)
