imurdaddy415 posted:What do you think of a 5820K for CF fury x? would the 5830k be worth the extra for the larger pcie lane? CPU's good. Take some advice and buy a pair of 980Tis though, the Fury X is pretty lackluster unless you plan on playing games at 4K.

The extra 2 cores and 64GB of memory are more of a benefit than the extra lanes. If you're not going to need 6 cores or 64GB of memory and can't afford 980tis with a 5820k I'd shuffle everything around to a 4790k and 980tis. Even with only 4 lanes videocards still aren't running into PCIE bandwidth limits.

Hot drat! Newegg finally had the 6700k in stock. Goodbye Nehalem, hello Skylake! Also goodbye flaky motherboard with a pci bus clock that wanders 10ish Mhz up and down around 100Mhz.

So Broadwell-C is dead. https://www.itworld.com/article/2984695/hardware/intel-kills-a-top-of-the-line-processor.html Far more interesting than Skylake, but what can you do? It'd be nice if Intel made an unlocked Skylake CPU with 128MiB L4 cache, but a low end GPU to save cost and die space, to give us the all rounder I'd lust for.

Wow, they actually cancelled Broadwell. I figured they'd at least put out a small run in the US just to say they did it and just not make any more. Any Euro/Asia goons who can get a Broadwell proc you should snap them up, you're sitting on Ebay gold.

quote:CORRECTION: Due to a reporting error, an earlier version of the story misidentified the product that has been retired. It is the Skylake-C and not the Broadwell-C that has been discontinued. Changes have been made throughout the story to reflect the change. I'm guessing there's a similar chip in the works for Kaby Lake. I can't imagine Intel completely throwing out the "let's have an enormous L4 cache" idea, surely there's some niche somewhere that'll pay Intel big money for those CPUs.

That niche is (among others, I'm sure) gamers who already drop $650+ on top-of-the-line GPUs to match with their $300+ CPU on their $150+ Z-series motherboard. The 5775C was not prohibitively more expensive than various other non-C chips, while offering meaningful improvements in ways that simple improve IPC and clocks don't really bring anymore. People were buying them for upwards of $550, despite the MSRP being more like $350. There absolutely are people who'd snap them up. Now whether that niche is lucrative enough to warrant a separate fab line (since obviously these are a whole different ballgame than just binning and lasering off bits of chips that make up the majority of the Intel lineup) is another question entirely.

Twerk from Home posted:Does it need to be a separate fab line? These are the same die as top tier mobile quads, which are available with L4 cache, right? Yeah, all the ones with the Iris Pro 6200 should, in theory, have the L4 cache; I meant more compared to the other desktop processors, since now you're talking about a different socket. The laptop versions are also a good bit more expensive: the 5950HQ (2.9GHz base/3.7GHz turbo) lists for $623, compares to the 5775C (3.3/3.7GHz) at $366.

The bigger question is why there isn't a desktop Skylake-C to begin with when its on the same 14nm process. Reserved as a SKU for the refresh equivalent of Devil's Canyon? Who knows, although my guess is their 14nm process yield is so bad that Intel is struggling to produce enough tiny volume halo EDRAM mobile SKUs.

If they could fire the things off like hotcakes but were going "Naaah, not worth the effort" I could see it, but it's reasonably likely they simply can't make them fast enough to be worth an entire line.

Problem solvers tend to be like that regardless. They go wherever they can find intensive brain work, and then move on when they believe they're done there, for better or worse. I have this cool imagined personality for Jim where he rides into town, attempts to save the day, and then rides off into the sunset.

We don't know yet, but there is a good chance that LGA 1151 will get Kaby Lake and maybe even Cannon Lake.

Its not a bad chip but it's about as fast as my I7 from 2 generations ago. I'll say this, I overclocked to 4.2Ghz immediately and the temperature maxed out is like 45-50c out of 100c.. that is far far cooler than any other cpu I have tried. Cool!
