Processor | Cores/threads | Clock frequency | L3-cache | Socket |
---|---|---|---|---|
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 |
Four models Broadwell-E processors 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, but we think the Computex time-frame is a valid suggestion.

AMD please rise again. So sick of this overpriced stuff without progress. I mostly game and still see zero reason for upgrading my 4 year old system.
