Intel Broadwell Core i7-5775C & Core i5-5675C released mid-may
There has been a lot of talk about Intel Broadwell processors. For the PC side of things, the 14nm desktop Broadwell processors will be the Core i7-5775C & Core i5-5675C. These will be the first two Desktop PC processors, and as its now know they will launch mid-May.
Over at HKEPC, Lam Chi-Kui noticed a marketing slide denoting the date. Though there are no other details mentioned this does confirm two LGA 1150 based SKUs to be launched prior tot Computex.
Just to recap, versions with the 'C" extension are the desktop LGA 1150 models, the 'R" models get a BGA socket. The C models will come with an unlocked multiplier (in the past that was K or X model). Initially five models will be launched but three of them are BGA and thus soldered onto the PCB socket. All Broadwell based ICs will get four cores, IGP wise the Iris Pro 6200 and JEDEC DDR3 1600 MHz support. And again all models will get a 65W TDP, which is lower compared to Haswell with its 84W/95W TDP.
The models will get 4MB L3 cache but no hyper-threading for the Core i5 model. Check out the following overview I have compiled for you:
Model | Cores / Threads | Clock / Turbo | L3-cache | IGP | Memory | Tdp | Socket |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Core i5-5575R | 4 / 4 | 2,8 / 3,3GHz | 4MB | Iris Pro 6200 | ddr3l-1600 | 65W | BGA1364 |
Core i5-5675C | 4 / 4 | 3,1 / 3,6GHz | 4MB | Iris Pro 6200 | ddr3l-1600 | 65W | LGA1150 |
Core i5-5675R | 4 / 4 | 3,1 / 3,6GHz | 4MB | Iris Pro 6200 | ddr3l-1600 | 65W | BGA1364 |
Core i7-5775C | 4 / 8 | 3,3 / 3,7GHz | 6MB | Iris Pro 6200 | ddr3l-1600 | 65W | LGA1150 |
Core i7-5775R | 4 / 8 | 3,3 / 3,8GHz | 6MB | Iris Pro 6200 | ddr3l-1600 | 65W | BGA1364 |

Intel brings TRIM to SSDs in RAID - 03/23/2010 12:34 PM
Nice move from Intel. Upto this point RAID setups did not have support for the TRIM command features in the Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 and Linux 2.6.33+ operating systems. This made solid stat...

It certainly seems so, given those clocks it looks like it'll be slower than Devils Canyon out of the box!?
Only two parts of this CPU that seem to a nice improvment are the GPU and the fact that its in a 65W TDP, and lets be honest as enthusiasts we don't care much for either of those lol

These have a very low TDP though. We actually might see them in high end notebooks.

INTEL sneaky move again...
Intel seems to be wasting money on these new chips...however I believe it is a strategic move to once again push AMD aside. These chips are at the mid level where AMD makes most of its processor money. Intel is flooding the mid level with many many choices, and even tho these are lackluster Intel chips, they are "new", and when was the last time AMD put out new processors? This will cut deeply into AMD's:market. Seems Intel is using the Python method on AMD, slowly curling around them and squeezing the life out of them before they can react.

With those specs, looks like it, yes. Idk, lack of competition is bad thing. Intel isnt even trying anymore. I just hope this wont happen to Skylake. I want to upgrade my Sandy damn it!

Is it just me or they should've just skipped Broadwell and went straight to Skylake?
