Intel Core i7-3910K LGA2011

6cores at a better pricepoint might be a good option.
makes me thinking going there in spite of having haswell.

I really should stop dreaming of a 2011 CPU with more than 6 cores. :mad:

There's plenty of socket 2011 Xeons that have more than 6 cores... Now if we could just get unlocked socket 2011 CPUs with QPI links.
 
Presents an interesting option - especially if properly discounted at MC :p
Compare $499 i7 3930K vs. $569 at Newegg.

If it drops in the $300-400 range, I would definitely think twice about simply buying a used IvyBridge at this point. Let's say $399 online...then $349 at MC. I could bite for $349.
 
Intel had a road map that said when ivy-e dropped, there was going to be an 8 core sandy-e

If it isn't front page news at the [H], then it's pure speculation. I would love to start seeing 8 core K sku's from Intel, though.

Exactly. Also, why would they release an 8 core Sandy part when they are going to want everyone to jump on the "new":rolleyes: Ivy parts?

I would love to see this 3910K come in @ $400 or less, especially since it will be built on the latest/greatest SB stepping, which should offer the best possible o/c'ing potential.

At that price people would have to be stupid to pay $550+ for one of the new Ivy Bridge Extreme chips. There's no real performance difference if Sandy overclocks further and Ivy Bridge's power savings aren't large enough to make up for the higher initial cost during the useful lifetime of the chip.
 
Intel's answer to the FX-9590, 25% fewer cores, 40% slower clock speed, half the price, still beats the pants off of it.

I agree, I was referring solely to the "10 core SB part"..They wouldn't release a 10 core SB part before they would release a 10 core IB part..

IF this baby comes in @ $400, I will send my 4.8Ghz de-lidded 3770K to a new loving home!

Uh, the whole point of the FX-9590 is to cash in on people who don't know that you can't compare processors by frequency alone... At 3GHz I doubt the point of these new SB chips is to steal AMD's marketing thunder.

Sounds to me like they're just clearing out the SB-E stock.

The Athlon 64 started beating the snot out of the Pentium 4 about a decade ago...

I don't really see the point of your post. Dragon implied that this new Intel chip had something to do with AMD's FX-9590, I disagreed. The FX doesn't even compete with the current SB-E chips... AMD is just cashing in on stupid people who only look at clock speeds.

I didn't say they need to release an 8 core LGA2011 Sandy.. I said I'd like to see an 8 core K sku. I don't give a shit what socket it's on. :p
 
If Intel wants to have people taking s2011 seriously it's time they released cheap 6 core cpu.
 
Greetings

Sorry to pour cold water on this exciting piece of news but.... The processors are not on the roadmap, and, considering impending launch of Ivy Bridge-E/Ivy Bridge-EP products later this quarter, we do not think that these are forthcoming SKUs. More plausible explanation is that the parts are already produced for a specific OEM customer.


I'd certainly consider replacing my 3820 for this CPU as the minimum framerate in BF3 with hyper-threading disabled is a very big increase compared to the quad-core at the same speed.

Looks like I may have to save up for a 3930K after all if the graphics cards start bottoming out and the game becomes a bit jerky occasionally (I'm thinking BF4 here as BF3 presently runs o.k.). It would be interesting to see if this effect is replicated with other games as well other than just BF3.

If they did decide to sell it after all at a relatively cheap price I reckon it would be the new Q6600 cpu.

Cheers

Intel wants clear segmentation between their enthusiast and mainstream lineup, unlike what happened with 1366 and 1156.
 
If you need more than 6 cores you need a dual socket workstation board, how the market works, they are not going to nutter their high end line for the %0.0000000001 of people who wants more cores for their home computer and expect to get it cheap..

Sadly with 2011, they neutered the Xeons (and therefore only dual-QPI chips) into being clock locked....unlike the desktop enthusiast parts.

For the SR2 style enthusiast...Intel put a fork in that market this time around.
