Intel Core i7-6950X Broadwell-E has 10 Cores and 20 Threads

Intel Core i7-6950X Broadwell-E has 10 Cores and 20 Threads

Asia based xfastest was able to get their hands on some new info regarding the enthusiast lineup of Broadwell, yes Broadwell-E. In their item they mention four new Broadwell-E processors, the flagship being the Core i7-6950X that would get 10 physical CPU Cores hyper-threaded towards 20 Threads!

Broadwell-E will be tied to the X99 chipset as the website mentions as these processors will be tied towards socket LGA2011-v3. That would be good news for X99 owners as only a BIOS update will be required to get the new processors supported.
 

 ProcessorCores/threadsClock frequencyL3-cacheSocket
Intel Core i7-6950X 10/20 3GHz 25MB LGA2011-v3
Intel Core i7-6900K 8/16 3,3GHz 20MB LGA2011-v3
Intel Core i7-6850K 6/12 3,6GHz 15MB LGA2011-v3
Intel Core i7-6800K 6/12 3,4GHz 15MB LGA2011-v3


As stated, four models will be released, the  i7-6950X, i7-6900K, i7-6850K and i7- 6800K. That Core i7-6950X thus is the flagship CPU. X is Extreme with totally unlocked multipliers and voltages, the K models are more or less the same with a slightly lower voltage ceiling. All models will get some Turbo (dynamic clock frequency) allowance as well. To date it is unknown when the new processors will be released.

Finally some info starts to surface. The question is whether the plan still remains:
Broadwell-E Q1-2016 (X99)
Skylake-E Q3-2016 (new chipset?)

Looks like 6800K is the new 5820k, going to be popular.

Curious about the pricing and overclockability though. Might be a viable upgrade to the X99 chipset owners down the road.

Sounds like Guru3D needs to update the GPU testing rig. I mean, 10 i7 hyperthreaded cores sounds like the CPU bottleneck effect can be removed tolerably for a few years.

Seriously, though, this demonstrates why we need AMD to succeed with the Zen architecture. Intel can easily pack 10 cores in a chip, yet they have been offering only 4 for the largest (serious) audience for almost a decade now because the competition is miserable. You'd think they would have moved up to 6 a few years ago, but no. People have to carry them money on a silver platter whether they want or not, so it's all the same to offer the same old stuff under a new name, with a few gimmicks added every now and then to satisfy hypocrites. Naturally the used the immense profits to develop smaller process nodes, which further expands the profits.

By the time Zen will be around, Intel will release more than 4 cores on the mainstream platform. So this problem won't be a problem, similar to what Nvidia does each time AMD takes the performance crown... temporarly. And then it's the same story all over again, because eventually we'll complain why it's not 8 cores on the mainstream platform / chipset / socket instead of 6. Just what I expect though, imho.
