Intel Haswell-E Roadmap Confirms DDR4 - 8 Cores and Launch in Q3 2014

Intel Haswell-E Roadmap Confirms DDR4 - 8 Cores and Launch in Q3 2014

We have talked a lot about Haswell-E in the past already, as it is the next big thing in processor land to happen in 2014. A new roadmap leaked on the Haswell-E is an 8 core CPU series. Conformed now is that with the platform you'll get DDR4 memory. Quad-channel DDR4 RAM along with increased frequencies could lead to a near 50% increase in bandwidth compared to the older, triple-channel configuration which housed much more conservative RAM clock speeds. The high-end SKU will be priced at 999 USD.

The Haswell-E will be available in ‘K’ and ‘X’ options. The Extreme Edition variant denoted by the ‘X’ is the flagship SKU boasting 8 cores while the remaining processors would feature 4-6 cores depending on the model. The X99 series Chipset will feature USB 3.0 support and upto ten 6GB/s SATA Ports.

Haswell-E will use the latest 3D Transistor technology based on a 22nm fabrication process and will of course support Hyper Threading, Turbo Boost 2.0 and PCI-E 3.0.

Model Intel Core i7-5960X Intel Core i7-5930K Intel Core i7-4960X Intel Core i7-4930K
Platform Haswell-E Haswell-E Ivy Bridge-E Ivy Bridge-E
Process 22nm 22nm 22nm 22nm
Cores/Threads 8/16 6/12 6/12 6/12
Cache 20 MB L3 15 MB L3 15 MB L3 12 MB L3
Core Clock TBA TBA 3.3 GHz 3.3 GHz
Socket LGA 2011-13 LGA 2011-13 LGA 2011 LGA 2011
TDP 140W 140W 130W 130W
Memory DDR4-2133 MHz DDR4-2133 MHz DDR3-1600 MHz DDR3-1600 MHz
Chipset X99 X99 X79 X79

An X99 chipset will support low voltage (1.2V) DDR4 RAM kits (must be the 1333 MHz ones). The DIMM connector now has 288 pins (as opposed to 284 from earlier), the 4 additional pins added to support  NVDIMM modules. Good news is that both 284/288 pin RAM modules will be usable on motherboards with the 284 pin connector or the new 288 pin connector.

Haswell-E will bring a new version of your same old LGA 2011 socket with it. Dubbed LGA 2011-3, the derived socket has the same dimensions and ball pattern pitch as LGA 2011. Basically, the number of pins remains the same while their layout changes. According to the slides, the new design is more efficient as per Intel’s research, and additional wings in the LGA 2011-3 socket help improve package handling. The first X99 motherboards are expected to be unveiled at Computex 201

At this rate gamers can't complain of the lack of CPU horsepower.

Think if someone decide to stick 780Ti x 4 and run benchmarks.

Hmm I'm more interested in broadwell, but DDR4 support on an 8 core haswell is nuts!

It's a nice step forward. At current I doubt I'll upgrade until Skylake, either way I wont be buying another quad core (Even with HT). Unless AMD up their game I'll probably end up on Broadwell-E if Intel stick to their current release format.
