Intel Haswell-E X99 Chipset Details And Launch Time
We have talked about the Intel Haswell-E X99 Chipset quite a bit in the past already. Now more details have surfaced. Basically the X99 chipset which has codename Wellsburg will be released in the June timeframe, Computex anyone ? New to the list is confirmed support for DDR4 memory.
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. It will have 14 USB ports and 10 Sata ports. Interestingly it will also feature Intel’s Integrated Clock Support.
Both the 6 core and 8 core processor versions will get a 140 W TDP and a maximum memory speed of 2133Mhz per DIMM slot. 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.

I already mentioned a while back that I really want a 8c/16t cpu(pls dont start with the why's and stuff ppl) but at those price I don't see me changing my 3770k@4.6 24/7 clocks.
At best if I get an upgrade bug I'm might grab a used 4930K and be done with it. Unless they have a good reasonably priced 6core.
8cores won't be cheap 700-800€, 6core ~500€ min for sure.

Me too, it was my no1 machine a real 8core
, but I just couldnt wait any longer..
At least I got a good OC batch and 8 threads vs 4core only before. I doubt I would get away with 4.5ghz+ on a 8core, so single core perf. should be better now at 4.7ghz hehe xD
But it would be nice to see 16threads

CODENAME-E is their extreme product, its for enthusiasts, just like titan, its not their normal line up so price shouldn't matter

The "whys" are a good question, because you can already get at least 12 cores (for intel) or 16 cores (AMD) if you choose the server route. Or, go for SPARC and get 128 logical cores. I don't see how any desktop user would ever need an 8 core with HT for today's software. If you're actually getting performance issues, you just really suck at task management. If you're doing stuff like VMs, rendering, compililng, and/or encoding, and if your work is time-critical, you're using the wrong type of computer.
