i7-6800K is priced 479€ in Germany.

That's a 3.4 Ghz baseclock, 6-Core, Broadwell-E with 140W TDP.

I am now seriously considering switching to 2011-3 and running it at 4.0 GHz OC with WC.

For comparison, the i7-5930K a 3.5 Ghz, 6-Core, Haswell-E with also 140W TDP is priced at 639€.

So with those new Skylake >4-Core CPUs I believe it has become finally viable to switch to anything above 4-Cores.

It's still more expensive than any 4-Core setup with good 2011-3 Mobos starting at 230€ and above, fast 16 Gb DDR4 2666 Dimms starting at 70€ and above.

For comparison, a good 115x Mobo starts at around 130€ and fast 16 Gb DDR3 1600 Dimms cost around 60€.

What do you guys say to this? I have successfully refused to upgrade my i7-2600K until now, because of this ridiculus pricing situation and miniscule performance increases for 4-Core CPUs compared to the upgrade price I'd had to consider (new Mobo, etc.). Very Happy


A 5820k will do 4.5ghz and stay below 80c with an average cooler. If you are looking at X-99 and the machine will primarily be for gaming the 5820k is really the only CPU you should be looking at *unless* you absolutely need the 40 PCI-E lanes. The 5930k really doesn't OC all that much better and is a complete waste of money if you aren't going to make use of those extra lanes. If you are only shooting for 4ghz you may not even need to touch voltages. Most 5820ks will do 4.3-4.5ghz with only an extra 100mv.

Yeah, but getting a prev-gen CPU which is slower in direct Hz to Hz comparison and probably hotter and more power consuming...

Although the 5820K is 404€ vs 479€, another "Intel-speciality" of non-sense.

I can't stand this situation.


Going to Haswell-E is already putting you two generations ahead of what you have. Clock per clock compared to Sandy you're already more efficient. Plus youll have two more physical cores. Plus you'll have a larger cache. A 5820k at 4.5ghz is pretty fast and you'll definitely see the benefit these days over your 2600k.

And yes, Haswell-E is now 'prior-gen' but it's still two generations newer then what you have now.

Not to mention with X99 you have tons of movement if you ever need it. If you ever need the extra cores you can just go on ebay and get a Xeon engineering sample for something like the E5 2690 which is 14 cores, 35MB cache, and 3.5ghz turbo. These are going on US ebay for only $300 right now. You'll also have more PCI-E lanes if you ever need it for things like 16x NVME when 16x controllers come out, or just generally tons of RAM to just make a ram drive if you wanted.

Basically X99 is a fairly large upgrade over what you have now if you make full use of the system for stuff more then just gaming.

They are expensive, but I cannot, for the life of me, find a cheaper alternative.

The only one is Intel Braswell NUCs but they are even more limited.

I am hopeful, the Skylake core i3-6100U in that NUC can run PCSX2 at acceptable speeds.

Plus, these things have infra-red, SD-Card etc.


Initially I was going for a Raspberry Pi 3 with openelec, but that thing doesnt support Netflix.

http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/high_end_skylake_processors_to_get_yet_another_socket.html

Quote:

Intel is a big fan of swapping out CPU socket as often as they can, it seems that with the successor to Broadwell-E, the Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X (yes the X is new) we'll move to Socket 2066. new information surfaced, read it after the break.

The platform for all this is called Basin Falls platform and includes new processors and a chipset refresh with a new socket . Socket R4, as the official code name reads is getting 2,066 pins and provides a home to two new Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X series.

Skylake-X will include six , eight and ten core CPUs with a TDP around 140 watts and thus follow Broadwell-E . Under the name Kaby Lake-X there are also will be quad-cores for socket 2066, with fewer PCI Express lanes and only two memory channels. Also for Kaby Lake-X Turbo Boost 3.0 is not supported. There will also be a new chipset which includes ten integrated USB 3.0 ports and eight SATA600 ports. It is still unclear whether USB 3.1 will also be part of the chipset. We do know that there are up to 24 PCI Express 3.0 lanes , and a built-in Intel LAN controller are present. According to the leaked slides, the new processors come to market in the second half of 2017.



Do you even need 2066 pins? Although I guess now that the role is reversed and the pins are on the motherboard (Fatherboard ? Razz ) and not the CPU (Which is flat.) there's less chance of fumbling and bending the hell out of them. Razz

Coffee Lake in 2018

Quote:

As AMDs processors close in with some Zen slowly yet steadily we see some movement at Intel as well. For ages now 4-core processors have been the norm in the mainstream desktop segment, it seems that 6-core Intel processors are finally becoming mainstream in 2018.

In it's yearly Form 10-K document about Intel's financials the company now really makes note of a three-step cycle. So after a new procedure (die shrink), there will be a new architecture followed by an upgrade of that architecture. This way Intel can release a new processor each year. However it now seems there will even be a 4th step.

Basically following Kaby Lake to release there will be a fourth generation processor series fabbed on the 14nm production process called Coffee Lake. It is interesting as at that same time the mobile/laptop Cannon Lake processors have already moved to 10 nm. It does make sense as Intel over a year ago announced to abandon its tick-tock model, which alternately introduced a new architecture and a new production process. Basically Intel will use whatever fab process works out the best for them practially and economically aimed at a certain target area. So there will be a fourth generation 14nm product series, in the form of Coffee Lake.

Coffee Lake CPUs will get two, four or six cores and will get a GT3e, an on-board GPU with dedicated video memory. The processors are rated at a 35 Watt to 45 Watt TDP range.

Yeah they're slowly starting to speed up although it also spreads the CPU's out over a larger range of different models.

Used to be Tick -> Tock, new architecture and then optimizing/improving said architecture and then back to new architecture.

Now it's well it's gone entirely but a bit like Tick -> Tock, Tock, Tock -> Tick or as it's called "Process, Architecture, Optimization." and now with Coffee Lake there's a fourth step somewhere in there.


Going by the diagram from this article showing CPU models from Intel we had Broadwell in 2014 (And 2015 with I guess they mean Broadwell-E) as the 14nm "Process" and then Skylake in 2016 as the "Architecture" of 14nm and in 2017 we'll see Kaby Lake as the "Optimization" step of 14nm before Intel moves to 10nm with Cannonlake Icelake and Tigerlake for Process, Architecture, Optimization for 10nm over 2018 to 2020

And now Coffe lake wedges in-between 14nm and 10nm as a second optimization step to Intel's 14nm before they go to 10nm with Cannonlake.

EDIT: With who knows how many motherboard revisions in addition to this, I think Skylake is using H170 or what it was called but a H2xx is apparently in production and as posted a bit earlier new CPU models with different pin layout thus requiring new motherboards.

The *70 number also usually means mid to high end with *90 being the high end to enthusiast grade CPU models but there isn't a x190 motherboard leaving x99 and Broadwell-E as the enthusiast CPU or how to say.
(Not sure about Kaby Lake, Skylake is still only four core as I remember it and that might be the case with Kaby too if Coffee Lake is going to be the introduction of six-core CPU models in that performance range, no idea what awaits once Intel gets to 10nm as that's a bit further out.)

EDIT: Going by the upper colored diagram then for either late 2017 or early 2018 Cannonlake is going to initially be a lower end model at 10nm with 2 channel RAM and a "GT2" I guess that's the iGPU it's using?
(Y series as a lower-end but energy efficient CPU and then U as a bit faster but still energy efficient, 4 core?)

And then Coffee Lake at 14nm will be U which I'm not sure if that's numbered *60 or perhaps lower and H (IE H270) as the higher-end models.
(2 channel RAM and a GT3e IGPU for the U models and 2/4/6 channel RAM and also a GT3e iGPU for the H models.)


EDIT: Basically the numbering and letters Intel uses for their motherboard chipset types if that was unclear, Y as I think that might even be a micro model or for other mobile platforms and then U was the lower-end tier with H as the higher-end and finally X for enthusiast but there doesn't seem to be one for these CPU models, yet.
(Not sure about the numbering, I'd guess Y250 or something and then U260 and H270 since H is usually 70 with X going to the odd numbered X299 if that hasn't changed, and had it existed.)

Not sure if it's going to be the 200-series motherboards either, some might remain compatible with the 100 series for all I know and later ones could see yet another motherboard design seeing that Intel likes changing sockets/pins around for whatever that's good for. Very Happy
(In addition to adding newer specs to said motherboard which actually has a purpose. Razz )

In the city, up on some cofee/restaurant rooftop looking down on the city it drops to around 30 with everything maxed. The game makes so many drawcalls that really drops performance. 5820k here. Sure if you reduce shadow view distance it will stay 60 but on "max" distance it hurts performance.

https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainboard/an_intel_skylake-x_series_cpu_has_been_pictured/1



Quote:


Today what is supposedly an Intel Skylake-X CPU has been pictured, showcasing a huge CPU size and some impressive leaked specifications.

Right now it is rumored that Intel's Skylake-X series of CPUs will be based on a new CPU chipset called X299, which will use Intel's LGA 2066 CPU socket. This new socket will be Intel's largest socket to date, supporting up to 44 total PCIe 3.0 lanes and support DDR4 memory.


Right now the existence of LGA 2066 and Skylake-X has not been confirmed, though leaked specification have shown that Skylake X will support up to 10 total CPU cores and have a TDP of up to 140W.

When compared to Broadwell-E Skylake-X will also have a stronger DDR4 memory controller, supporting faster DDR4-2666MHz memory.

Right now Skylake-X has not been confirmed by Intel, though it is expected to release sometime in 2017.
