xjapanese Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hi Guys Any news or what's expected I can't find anu info on that.I need to take decisions if I should wait for the upgrade till next year or do it now. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numerobis Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) What are you looking for? Skylake is already available and Broadwell-E/EP is scheduled for Q1/2016, but it looks more like Q2 now. And it seems that only the Xeons will get more cores.

xjapanese Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hi, Whel Skylake doesn't change anything with regards to what I use..yes Broadwell mayby..something that should stop me from buying a few 5820k ..now rather than wait for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numerobis Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I don't think it's worth the wait. Same chipset (X99), almost no new features only a few more PCIe lanes. And Broadwell-E will give you a few percent more performance per thread, i think comparable to Haswell vs Broadwell close to nothing, and if overclocking is an option for you, Broadwell doesn't look very good http://www.anandtech.com/show/9482/intel-broadwell-pt2-overclocking-ipc/2 Better buy a good Haswell-E batch (L5 or J5) now and overclock it.

xjapanese Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Ok thanks Numerbois..it is strange that at the peak of 3d revolution they are moving kind of slow with cpu ..do they focus on gpu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numerobis Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The problem is that there is no competition. AMD is almost dead and intel can dictate the pace. It looks like the Broadwell-EP (Xeon) will get up to 24 cores... but i don't want to see the price tag for this cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numerobis Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Not much - only what google has to offer... http://benchlife.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/bdw-e-roadmap.png http://benchlife.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/bdw-e.png Maybe the Xeon is coming a bit earlier, here they are still saying Q4/2015 http://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/anton-shilov/intel-to-release-22-core-xeon-e5-v4-broadwell-ep-late-in-2015-company/ It seems that now only the E7 will get up to 24 cores and the E5 "only" 22 - but "unofficial", so we'll see...

Nikolaos M Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks. At first glance, I don't see more pcie lanes. Am I right? The second link mentions 40pcie lanes. The ipc improvement between haswell and broadwell was 1-2% I think, so, as you've already said, if the overclockability is worse, then the broadwell-e is not a good option. (tdp's are identical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numerobis Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yes you're right about the PCIe lanes. I read somewhere that they will be increased for the small hexacore model but maybe this is not true since the presentation slide says "up to" 40 lanes.

Nikolaos M Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The 5820K has 28 lanes. Maybe you've seen something about the basic 6core model. If they mean to produce it with 40pcie lanes for the same price with 5820K, then the 5820K might fall into disuse. I'll make a wild guess that the price for the basic model should be around 450$. Intel doesn't kill its processors in use like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderSK Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Numerobis said it all. Nearest high-end consumer CPU refresh will be Skylake-E late next year and I doubt it will be any much better than current Haswell-E, which is already 8-core of not much slower architecture. Skylake-E will doubtfully be 10 or 12 core... so it will be similar "same of the same" like 3930k--)4930k. Not worth waiting for. It's still Haswell-E for consumer workstations. Nikolay, check your FB messages (folder "other"), sent you message some time ago :- ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjapanese Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yes so nothing to wait for I guess. Hi Juraj, Ok Thanks.Sorry I have missed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
