Intel provides Haswell-E processor with eight cores before

Intel has unveiled its long-awaited family processors Haswell E with up to eight cores. The Core i7 Extreme Edition is primarily aimed at PC enthusiasts, gamers and overclockers.

 Specific expectations must fulfill the Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition, the Intel quotes a price of $ 999. The new flagship is also Intel’s first desktop processor with eight cores, a date the Xeon server chips reserved facilities. With it, the chip maker also leads a support DDR4 memory for more bandwidth and the new X99 chipset. Each core has a base clock speed of 3 GHz and can in Turbo Boost mode boost to 3.5 GHz. Thanks hyperthreading-based server technology core i7-5960X process up to 16 threads in parallel.

Processor cost i7-5930K for $ 594 and $ 396 per i7-5820K. They have “only” six cores, but also offer the advantages of Haswell micro-architecture and the X99 chipset and overclock even faster than the eight-Kerner. The 5930K comes with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz (3.7 GHz in Turbo mode), the 5820K at 3.3 GHz (3.6 GHz in Turbo mode). The “K” in their model designations has work back to open multipliers facilitate overclocking.

 In benchmarks, the 5960X beats as good as expected compared to its predecessors when it comes to multi-threaded applications. After initial tests, however, give sites like AnandTech, Hot Hardware and Tom’s hardware to consider that the difference in performance for single-threaded applications fails far less, if not negligible even.

 While Intel introduces the Haswell-E processors, it starts at the same time to say goodbye to the production in 22-nanometer. With Broadwell the first CPU generation of the 14-nm manufacturing is at that promises improved performance with lower power consumption.
