Next week is the analysts conference call after Intel releases last quarter's financial results. That will have definitive answers about status updates.Does anyone have any updates on Broadwell? Any early engineering sample reviews? Release date predictions?
This is almost the entirety of what's been leaked about Skylake so far (at least with some kind of proof):Waiting to see what Skylake has to offer
and the pricing might be stupid as intel wants to pack Iris Pro into each K version (what a stupid waste for audience most likely to run dGPU)
Sweet 128 MB L4 cache when user would use discrete card. If Intel would add it into Ivy-E it would be great. I have an orgasm already. Perhaps they would add it as L4 cache into Skylake-E.
will we see DDR 4 or not?
If going by the timeline, DDR4 is released initially this summer or Q4 2014 when Haswell-E and Haswell server processors are released.
Broadwell will not have support for it when released in 2015, but Skylake released sometime in 2015 to 2016 will have support for DDR4 alongside PCI-e 4.0.
Early DDR4 is likely to be performance downgrade like early ddr3 compared to ddr2 was.
so is it sure that broadwell will not bring ddr4 and we need to wait skylake for new memory and PCI exp 4?
Not Summer. Intel has its release buckets, and the earliest release bucket is end of August/early September.edit: the Intel guy just clarified that Broadwell launch is scheduled for H2'14. <--- official as it gets. That means Summer at soonest.
(the new Atom is supposedly ~core 2 duo in performance).
Im more interested in Cherry Trail personally. IGP of a Haswell part on that little atom might not be too bad (the new Atom is supposedly ~core 2 duo in performance).
never understood why the i7 segment should bring a GPU inside, who buys an i7 and don't put an external card?
surely a wide minority.
Because the quad-core i5 and i7 are the same exact dies on Intel's mainstream and mobile platforms.
this means nothing, same dies with different features, different prices and diffrent customers target.
What do you mean it means nothing? Why should Intel permanently disable a perfectly working iGPU on an i7 just because some people think an iGPU doesn't belong on i7s?
Come on, some critical thinking would be appreciated.
I expressed myself badly.
I don't want to mean that intel should disable the gpu on the i7, I only saied that I don't understood who buys the i7 and is interested in the gpu inside.
Mobile users.
Not exactly. Different manufacturing parameters can be tweaked for the various segments: ULV, mobile, desktop and server, particularly optimizing for low voltage in mobile processors. While the number of transistors and die size remain constant, it's not just like the Duff, Duff Lite and Duff Dry manufacturing line. And of course there is the GT3 die which doesn't have a desktop version (mobile BGA version is used in "R" models, with a higher TDP). That kind of shows both sides: a modest iGPU goes into top mainstream socket CPUs, at least the socketed versions.Because the quad-core i5 and i7 are the same exact dies on Intel's mainstream and mobile platforms.
