It looks like the crew at Myce has posted a bunch of leaked slides outlining Intel's roadmap for its upcoming boxed processors. I snagged this one to whet your appetite, hit the link to see the rest.
 
Lol @ people "waiting for Haswell-E".




Edit: After reading all the slides:

Lol @ people "waiting for Ivy-E" too.


There's no chance Ivy-E will beat what we have now for gaming, until the mythical "take advantage of eight cores because consoles" games show up. Which won't happen for so long, Intel will be out of its slump by then. Actually, waiting two years for Haswell-E makes more sense than waiting for Ivy-E. At least Haswell-E still might bring something new to the table.

More and more, my bet on the X79 platform is going nowhere fast :(
 
Still no word on a true 8 core (Xeon) CPU to use as a desktop processor without having to pay an arm and a leg for it. I would gladly hand over $1k for an EE version an 8 core CPU.

Haswell will serve me for at least another year...

Sorry bud, but yeah, I think they have you over a barrel, unless you unload that latest and greatest and return to the land of the alsoran.

I'm not sure anybody buying the LGA-2011 platform wants that platform for gaming. That'd be a giant waste of money, they want it for other CPU intensive purposes, ones that already thread beyond 4 cores, like encoding.

Hopefully the Haswell refresh means some new Socket 1150 cpus.

Haswell is getting a refresh because: A) Intel can; and B) they are apparently having some real issues with Broadwell and the 14nm shrink.

Ivy-E has not been touted as having more native SATA ports let alone SAS ports like Sandy-E was originally supposed to have. Mainly you have a die shrink and even more dead, dark silicon than was on Sandy-E. hopefully the extra empty space will allow for some more OC headroom as switching from DDR3 1600 to DDR3 1866 native support should not take up all the extra room on the die.

The six-core chips, maybe, but a socket 2011 motherboard and i7-3820 cost about as much as an i7-4770k and socket 1150 motherboard. You also get 40 PCI-E lanes with socket 2011. The flagship 1150 boards support dual 16x slots, but they're very expensive. Haswell is faster out of the box, but unless you get lucky the 2011 Sandy/Ivy parts should overclock further and even things out.

For single-GPU 1080p gaming one could argue that socket 1150 is a waste of money compared to AMD's offerings since the GPU is usually the bottleneck.
 
So LGA2011 has some life left eh? For some reason I was thinking it was scheduled to be replaced.. Glad it isn't. I want LGA2011 for the pcie lanes. I'm still running a p6t6 (i7-920@3.6ghz) and the only thing to finally come along that seemed a worthy replacement is the asus P9X79-E WS (like the third or 4th version of the x79 based board).

Not going with anything less than 6 cores either. Had been eyeing the 3930k, but I think the haswells, which are back to soldering the cap onto the die vs thermal paste, should oc better. More like the i7-9xx's did. Soon as one comes out thats' 6 cores... Guess I will be waiting till Q2 2014 for "Haswell Refresh"

I expect 4470k to be refreshed because it runs so hot and is poor over clocker. I hope Intel doesn't use solder. I'd rather have no solder and be able to delid it.


I don't think stock heat sink can handle AVX2 linkpack at stock clocks because the heat is so great the heat will become a factor fast.


AVX2 needs more work on circuitry design IMO. Right now the chip as a whole gets way to hot and its more related to the operation and design of the chip than the solder or no solder.

Haswell still uses the crappy TIM, only the premium/extreme socket 2011 products are soldered.

The 'Haswell refresh' on the chart is only for the socket 1150 desktop chips. Sandy Bridge E launched late 2011 and Ivy Bridge E won't be out for another couple months. I would expect another long delay between Ivy Bridge E and Haswell E.

Yeah after I looked at the chart again, I don't think a haswell is in my future.

I coulda swore I read where someone tore up his cpu trying to delid it, and it was a new haswell, not 100% sure tho. When they are soldered on, de-lidding is less important. And I get a great oc on air cooling with this 920. Hope to do the same on the next pc.

I do wonder what will fill in the chart in the ≤ fields...

I have to agree, lga1366 has been very good, solid, and long lasting.
 
Well at least all the Core i3 desktop chips are getting GT2. It's fucking embarrassing that Intel is right now charging $150 for 2 cores and HD 2500.

well they really don't have any competition really. Amd ever gets back on track which i doubt intel will keep giving us the shaft all the way to the root. :D
 
i7 930 here @ 4 Ghz

Can't believe a system I've built about 2 years ago is still quite good.
 
I upgraded but really I found no "CPU speed" improvement from the x58-920/950 that I previously had. However the addition of USB 3 and SATA 6 has been nice.
 
Been wanting to upgrade GPU(s) since GTX 780 launch but woulda loved a new system to go with them. Shame the stars just haven't aligned.
 
Agreed I don't know what I should upgrade to for gaming. Stick with my i7 920 or make the jump, and to where? Lol.
 
I am on a 2600K and itching to upgrade. I would love to see a 6 core Haswell.

I must be missing something because according to the link Ivy-E should be out Q3 this year, not another 2 years? Haswell-E will be out in Q3 next year not 2 years?

I just need to figure out whether to get a z87 or x79 chipset.
 
Lots of missing slides, right? Makes me wonder if there was any concrete info on next gen part features and specs.
