VR_Zone has posted a couple leaked images of an Intel Haswell-E engineering sample and a slide with an overview of the processor. Notice the USA markings on the chip?

lol, I remember Intel was talking up many cores back in 2006, which we later learned is when Larrabee started development, Atom was well into development and as competition against Sun's Niagra. That strategy certainly didn't work out, but it wouldn't have mattered anyways. The "microserver" market is still illusory and Sun's highly threaded processors were overtaken in performance by other traditional processors and just died after the Oracle acquisition.whoa 8 cores... shouldn't we have like 60 cores by 2010 or something according to Intel's original roadmap when they told us that single core is dead - multi core is all the rage?
X99 will be one of those chipset you can buy and sit on it for years. Only need to swap out the GPUs every other year.
Also wondering why we aren't moving to GDDR5, due to all the integrated graphics these chips are getting nowadays?[/QUOTE]nice: quad channel DDR4. not as nice: DDR4-2666 and higher specs aren't finalized yet. callitawashonperformance
I'd love an excuse to upgrade my 2600k. Hopefully X99 gives me a reason.

I'll probably upgrade to this but we'll see when it gets released. I'll be upgrading from a first gen i7-920, so i imagine the upgrade will be quite nice. Either that or i'll pick up a 3990k or 4770k since that will most likely drop in price.
Either way I'm exciting to build a new machine!

Highly unlikely unless you do a lot of video processing or extremely high resolution photo editing.

If those new consoles really bring 8 core support then X99 could last next 5-6 years providing top level performance
New chip plant in Phoenix
Bummer. I was hoping this was socket 1150 compatible. I'm guessing now that the second you buy into a new socket it becomes obsolete.
I'd love to believe that, but then you know SATA express will come out, then PCI Express Gen 4, then lightpeak ports will become available, etc. Suddenly that ultra modern chipset you've got is starting to seem a little lacking.
Personally, not looking forward to the whole 4 channel memory thing. Kinda wondering why each memory module doesn't have 4 channels built internally, instead needing to buy 4 ram sticks? It just means that whatever ram you buy, you better be happy with, cause in order to upgrade you have to replace all the ram. Where as right now I have 2 sticks in my machine, and if I wanna add 2 more then I'm not throwing away the old 2 sticks. Not to forget, 4 memory sticks is going to be expensive.
its been there for many years, but recently expanded yes
