Intel Core i7 Haswell-E and X99 Motherboards Launch Date Revealed
It wasn't a big secret really, but over in Asia the launch date for the new X99 motherboards and Core i7 5960X, Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K have been leaked. The release date 'should' be on the 29th of August, 2014 according to Hermitage Akihabara. Interesting is that they also have photo's online.
Recently the website Coolaler already 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.
And keep in mind, the following is are speculated
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.
Of course everything is speculation up-to this point, Intel ahs not shared any information.

Holy crap man grow up.
If you think others are acting a fool fine, don't respond.. Instead you continue to chirp on and on and on in so many frigging threads.
I come onto these boards maybe once per day to catch up on some stuff, and I'm constantly finding posts by you where you're disagreeing or arguing with someone.
Seriously. Grow up.
Thank you.
I think I could say the same for you @ UT4 thread. So dont get me started with all this disagreeing or arguing and now you with this growup bs

Besides at first I just stated my pov, now if someone doesnt agree ok, but to start calling me names then I won't back off.
OT
so you gonna get x99, like you planed?

Not actually true

Ive watched that video and i dont know what your saying is not actually true, care to explain?
Its a fact that an 8/10/12 core Xeon does not run games any better than a highly clocked quad core like Devils Canyon which ive said all along because most games will only utilize up to 4 cores max, infact i only see 2 cores being maxxed out.
They are rebadged Xeons with couple of minor changes (EEC & Memory Cache) and a higher unlocked Multi.
If you think that the new 5960k is a brand new newly developed product then you need to get you head out of the sand.
6, 8, 10 and 12 core Xeons have been around for years. All Intel do is make a few modifications and sell these on a brand new socket every few years.

When Servers are all stripped down and sold just like 1366 Xeons which are dead cheap right now.
I may drop one of these in my board in a few years.....

If you really want to pish the boat out get one of these workstation boards and bang 2xXeon 10/12 Core Cpus in it for Epeen.

Check this out 12 core 24 threads, how about 2 of these on a workstation board? 24 cores, 48 threads!

The point is they have been around for years and all Intel are doing is spinning a yarn, once again.
