^ Sory but That "boost" is only because of that edram l4 cache.. Its not faster per core then skylake.. If there was no l4 it would barely be faster then haswell, im pretty sure about that. Also it OC like crap 4.1 4.2ghz at best.. Imo boradwell-e will OC better because there wont be any l4, but then again it won't be thaat faster vs haswell-e, more like what ivy was to sandy.. Edit: haswell to broadwell, real deep analysis, nothing special and its including gta5 bellow @ 1fps difference.

This graph shows something a little bit different. From these numbers: Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge: Average ~5.0% Up Ivy Bridge to Haswell: Average ~11.2% Up Haswell to Broadwell: Average ~3.3% Up

If there weren't then it would be something terrebly wrong 🙂 Skylake:

This graph shows that: Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge: Average ~5.8% Up Ivy Bridge to Haswell: Average ~11.2% Up Haswell to Broadwell: Average ~3.3% Up Broadwell to Skylake (DDR3): Average ~2.4% Up Broadwell to Skylake (DDR4): Average ~2.7% Up

My point being broadwell-e will be tiny bit faster vs haswell-e but with hopefully better Oc and lower consumption, + we could see 10core cpu replacing 8core 5960x. I kinda doubt they will go 8core as mainstream though -replacing 5820k.. that will still be 6 core.. Maaybe with Skylake-e or cannonlake-e.

ARMA is a big game for me and 20% gain is something to look forward to. Hence the question about EDRAM.

I have no idea where you pulled that out of but every bench mark I've ever seen about the 5775C showed as performing near identically to the 4770K. There's no way you're going to get a 20% performance boost in any real scenario vs a 4770/4790K at the same clocks. The only way it'd have that much of a difference is if it's using their iGPUs. And don't count on desktop parts ever having eDRAM, and as I said before there's zero chance a server part would have it as it's meant for iGPUs.

Hello, on the unlocked multiplier ones, what is the max cpu configuration on theses, 1 correct??? Only the Xeons can do more then 1 in the broadwell family right? Intel Core i7-6950X Looks one hell of a cpu, 2 of those would be awesome but I think you can only use 1, can't dual socket them.

Exactly my point hence I asked about EDRAM. Again the link to ARMA 3 specifically showing Broadwell with EDRAM vs Haswell shows 15% with the same MB, RAM and dedicated GPU 980 OC: Click this link because I can't embed the chart but it shows Broadwell @ 46.3 FPS vs Haswell @ 39.1 FPS. Its just too bad current Broadwell desktops OC like crap but makes up for it with the EDRAM. I already know most games can and will improve with Skylake and newer architectures due to improved IPC and ability to update the GPU over all, but ARMA is one game that does not seem to improve much unless cache and RAM is involved.

Idk I dont see anything realy special by arma3 either, more legit site then that polish one.. http://www.hardware.fr/getgraphimg.php?id=223&n=14 Haswell is 3-6fps behind, skylake no difference. crysis3 is nothing out of ordinary either. 🙂 but if you feel the need to upgrade because or arma3, then go on 🤓 Source: http://www.hardware.fr/articles/940-15/cpu-jeux-3d-crysis-3-arma-iii.html

@ TJ Thanks for that. Edit - just noticed the clock speeds... Pretty good for a slower cpu actually. Its mainly ARMA that stands out as a game with insane CPU requirements hence most hard core ARMA players are constantly looking for the right system to invest in due to all the time in that game, like CoD, BF, DoTA or Counter Strike players. If Broadwell EP came out with a Hexacore that had better IPC than skylake, then us ARMA players would consider it. I'm sure it would help Crysis or Frostbite engine cames as well due to it's superior multicore support.

broadwell-e is going to have the exact same ipc improvements that broadwell has. They are the same architecture. 3-5%.

Nice..So it means Broadwell E release will follow? Hopefully I can sell my CPU for a descent price and upgrade to the sweet 10core Broadwell E..:)
