Intel Core i7 Broadwell-E HEDT Chips Delayed to 2016

Intel Core i7 Broadwell-E HEDT Chips Delayed to 2016

Thye next gen enthusiast platform Broadwell-E chips, e.g. upcoming processors like the Core i7 6960X - 6930K and 6820K have a renewed launch date. That would be in one to two years from now in 2016 according to the Chinese VR-Zone. These upcoming 14nm processors are developed under codename "Broadwell-E" with a LGA2011v3 socket package. 

The processors should be compatible with motherboards based on Intel's X99 Express chipset (after firmware updates).  The HEDT CPUs will feature six to eight cores and would get up to 20MB of cache. Obviously these processors will support quad-channel DDR4 memory. According to the latest rumor Intel plans to start supplying pre-ES samples of the “Broadwell-E” to partners in the second quarter of 2015, engineering samples (ES).

Max Cores 6 8 8-10?
Threads 12 16 16-20?

Chipset X79 X99 X99
TDP 130W 140W 140W
Launch Q3 2013 Q3 2014 Q1 2016

Intel stated that the new HEDT CPUs will come with six or eight cores, up to 20MB of last-level-cache, quad-channel DDR4 memory, PCI Express 3.0 lanes, 140W thermal design power.

Makes sense, by the time X99 hits Broadwell-E mainstream will already be in Skylake town, probably preparing for CannonLake :D

Who is going to want to buy a 2 year old chipset in 2016?

Lucky (?) there isn't much of a reason to upgrade cpus these days, between tiny incremental updates and overpriced enthusiast chipsets you either have to be bored or rich and just want to upgrade...'cos.

I guess people who have little choice if they need those extra cores. Not like we didn't know this was coming late, Intel have had delays with their 14nm process. Not to mention they have like no competition in this space whatsoever lol

Wonder what it means for the Xeon server versions, for Enterprise etc waiting for the 14nm stuff

Not sure what to upgrade to now, may just go 5770K broadwell when it comes out and make that my last quad core until Skylake-E in like 2017-18 or whatever lol

Oh dude don't even get me started.

I was planning on going x99 and a 5930k, but went 970sli instead.

Hoping that skylake will be a viable upgrade.. and, we wait.
