Core i7 4960X, 4820K 4960X Ivy Bridge-E processor specs exposed
In yet another leaked slide that surfaced on the web we can now see Core i7 4960XK, 4820K 4960X Ivy Bridge-E and their specs as well. Honestly very very early benchmarks already have shown that the upcoming Intel Core i7-4960 Ivy Bridge-E processors will deliver only 5 percent to 10 percent better performance than their Sandy Bridge-E predecessor. But still. The chart also exposes dual-core Core i3 Haswell processors.
Keeping in mind that the Ivy Bridge micro-architecture has few advantages over Sandy Bridge micro-architecture, the Core i7-4960X should not be substantially faster than the Core i7-3970X. Intel Core i7-4960X processors and other Ivy Bridge-E chips are expected to emerge on the market in the second half of the year and be drop-in compatible with today’s LGA2011 HEDT infrastructure.
Have a peek at the leaked spec sheet as uncovered by Asder00.

kinda disappointed here. stuck with 1155 board and no new processor, only the first ivy bridge.
thats one thing I hated about intel. always changing sockets.
Then we have to buy their new MBs aswell.

I've been umming and ahhing about whether to get an i7-4770K now or wait for a 6-core CPU later, especially as I wanted feel like I actually upgrading since I already had a quad-core 8-threaded i7-920. In the end, I decided to buy the i7-4770K, simply because as a gamer, there is little or no advantage to owning anything more than a quad-core at the moment. Most games don't even utilise four cores effectively, nevermind six and the review benchmarks focus on video compression and other non-gaming stuff like that which tend to highlight how fast they really are. Games tend to be pretty much the same as for a quad-core based on what I've seen so it seems silly to spend more for something that might not be used for three or four years, if at all.
Although the next-gen consoles, which usually drive the hardware specs up for PC games, are using 8-core CPUs, they're clocked at a measly 1.6 GHz and architecturally the PC and next-gen Xbox One and PS4 are much closer than ever before meaning lousy ports that required double or triple the specs of the consoles to run decently should become a thing of the past. As such, I cannot imagine that 6-core CPUs will really prove to be useful at all for PC gaming, certainly not in the immediate future anyway (the next three years). By the time they do then I'll likely be looking at a new PC build anyway.

I'm going to get the 4930K. The reason I bought my RIVE mobo was in anticipation of the IB-E release.
