Intel Core i7-5960X, Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K Haswell-E CPUs Specs Out
As you guys know, Intel is planning to release the next-gen Haswell-E processors for the enthusiast platform (X99) later this year. Recently, Coolaler posted an article with details and specifications of three of the upcoming Haswell-E processors, namely the Intel Core i7-5960X, Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K. Check out the detailed specifications after the break.
Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Haswell-E
Haswell-E will have one X-type processor or the Extreme processor, and two K-series or the unlock processors. The Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Haswell-E processor, being the flagship CPU, features a total of 8 cores / 16 threads and has Hyper Threading. It has a base clock of 3.GHz with 20MB cache and will support DDR4 memory. It will also support multiple graphics card configuration with the first two cards running at x16 speed and the third one running at x8 speed. It will also have a maximum PCI Express link speed of 8GT/s and a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 140W.
Intel Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K Haswell-E
The Extreme processor is followed by two Core i7 processors with unlock multipliers – the Intel Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K Haswell-E. Both processors features 6 cores / 12 threads, also with Hyper Threading, and has a base clock of 3.5GHz and 3.3GHz respectively. The Intel Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K will also support DDR4 memory and a memory frequency of 2133MHz. Both processors are somewhat the same, but they differ in the PCI Express configuration. The Core i7-5930K will have 2 x16 + 1 x8 configuration, similar with the Core i7-5960X; meanwhile the Core i7-5820K will only support 1 x16 + 1 x8 + 1 x4 multiple graphics card configuration.
It seems that the Intel Core i7-5930K will be the sweet spot processor here, unless Intel will change the specs before officially releasing it, or announce another “better” Haswell-E processor along the way. Via thepcenthusiast and coaler, see source link.
Note: The specifications provided here is still a rumor and is yet to be confirmed. Until then, the information should be taken with a grain of salt.

It's basically top card will get 16x an next card 8x an 3rd card 4x
remember it's not the chipset, but actual chip which has the lanes....5820k will be bottom end chip

For an 8 core those stock-speeds are pretty low i gues.

The more cores you add, the more you decrease the clock speeds because of thermal constraints, if i´m not mistaken.
Anyway i´m interested and curious about the entry CPU, the 5820K. If it costs the same as the 4820K, then i could buy a very decent gaming machine with the a six core CPU instead of going with an 4790K.

These cards are expected in September, right? For the PCI-E specifications, does the 5820k only do 16x-8x-3x in PCI-E 3.0? 8x being 16x in PCI-E 2.0?
If so then that would be nice because current graphic cards haven't maxed out the PCI-E 2.0 specification "not till Nvidia's Pascal" which would be the 900 series with a rated bandwidth of up to 1gbs but I guess that wouldn't matter anyways because we would need new motherboards that would support NVLink to fully use it!
That won't be the case till Skylake CPU's and the 200 series motherboards arive?

OK, not sure I understand the PCI Express configurations, are they saying that the 5820K will support X16 with 1 card installed and only X8 X8 when running CF or SLI? That can't be right surely for the top end chipset can it?
