Intel Haswell-E Core i7-5960X, Core i7-5930K, Core i7-5820K Prices Unveiled - ASUS X99 Deluxe Pictured

The official specifications and prices of Intel'south upcoming HEDT Haswell-E platform which includes the flagship Core i7-5960X Farthermost Edition processors have been unveiled past Videocardz. The source has leaked the press deck for the Haswell-E platform which shows several new details along with a preview of the upcoming X99 motherboards which include the ASUS X99 Deluxe. Intel Haswell-E 5960X Processor

Intel Haswell-E Cadre i7-5960X, Core i7-5930K, Cadre i7-5820K Specifications Unveiled

The Intel Haswell-E processor lineup would include three SKUs, the Core i7-5960X, Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K. All processors are built on the 22nm Haswell architecture which means that they will improve the IPC performance while keeping the aforementioned power limits every bit previous generation processors due to enhanced power efficiency of the Haswell microarchitecture. Before moving into the feature gear up of the platform itself, we volition detail the SKUs that will be launching in 29th August 2022:

Intel Core i7-5960X Processor

The Intel Core i7-5960X Farthermost Edition would be the flagship processor of the lineup boasting viii Cores and xvi threads. The Haswell-E Core i7-5960X will house 2.vi Billion transistors inside its 22nm die and measures at 335.ii mm which is considered a huge dice. The dice block diagram besides shows that the Core i7-5960X is not a 12 core die every bit previously expected which turns out to be a Xeon cadre. We can see viii Cores with a large amount of shared L3 cache in the heart with a DDR4 memory controller at the bottom and Queue, Uncore and I/O at the top side. This would be Intel's first 8 Cadre consumer processor and would be clocked at three.0 GHz base and 3.v GHz boost frequency. The processor would feature 20 MB of L3 cache, 140W TDP and support for DDR4-2133 MHz memory. Being the flagship processor of the Haswell-E lineup, the Core i7-5960X would finish up with a toll of $999 US.

In terms of raw performance, the Cadre i7-5960X is around 20% faster in terms of 4K Video Editing, 32% faster in 3D rendering and 14% faster in games and AI processing compared to the concluding generation Core i7-4960X CPU that is the flagship Ivy Bridge-Eastward offering. The models volition exist bachelor with Intel'southward TS13X liquid libation which has been in the market since the first generation of Sandy Bridge-Eastward processors and is priced in betwixt $85-$100 and uniform with LGA 2022-iii, LGA 2022, LGA 1366 and LGA 115* platforms.

Intel Core i7-5930K Processor

The Core i7-5930K would be the second all-time processor of the flock featuring 6 cores and 12 threads. Featuring a clock speed of 3.5 GHz base and around 3.7 GHz boost, the Core i7-5930K would integrate 15 MB L3 Cache and a TDP of 140W. The processor would be able to support DDR4-2133 MHz memory. From specifications, the Cadre i7-5930K looks a lot like the current generation Core i7-4960X processor however nosotros are looking at improve IPC due to the improved Haswell microarchitecture. The cost for the Cadre i7-5930K would be $583 US at launch.

Intel Core i7-5820K Processor

The Cadre i7-5820K would exist the entry level processor of the lineup featuring 6 cores and 12 threads. The CPU comes with a 15 MB L3 Cache, 3.3 GHz base clock, 3.6-3.8 GHz heave clock, 140W TDP and support for DDR4-2133 MHz retention. Being like to the Core i7-5930K in terms of technical specifications aside from the clock speeds, the Core i7-5820K might just go an bonny processor for the X99 chipset platform since it will be priced at $389 US. At that place is ane limitation however that the processor features only 28 PCI-Express lanes which compared to twoscore PCI-E lanes on the other two processors is skimmed downward however, the processor would be able to cope with 2-Way and three-Way SLI setups easily.

The Intel Haswell-Due east platform will offering up to 79% more than operation compared to their 4 cadre processors on the Z97 platform and massive multi-threaded performance.

ASUS X99 Deluxe Preview:

The ASUS X99 Deluxe has been showed off in i of the slides and from the looks of it, ASUS is going with a black and white colour scheme on their X99 Deluxe offering boasting their 5-Fashion Optimization design scheme. The X99 Deluxe looks like a pretty solid motherboard with its new thermal armor spanning the entire sound and IO section and several PCI-e and SATA ports configured around the PCH heatsink. The heatsink itself is fitted with a heatpipe solution which spans the entire assembly to dissipate heat finer. We will have another postal service with total details upward when ASUS plans to show the official picture of the motherboard.

Run across The Wellsburg-10 "X99″ Enthusiasts Chipset

Ofcourse, the platform would crave a new platform control hub or PCH. Intel is preparing their latest Wellsburg-X chipset that would power the side by side generation HEDT platform featuring 14 USB ports (half-dozen USB iii.0 and 8 USB 2.0), 10 SATA 6GBps ports, integrated clock support, 8×1 PCIe two.0, Clarksville GbE PHY and the Realtek Audio Codec.The chip has a max TDP of half dozen.5W and measures 23x22mm which is larger than the X79 chipset.

Kickoff Desktop Platform To Feature DDR4 Retention Support

Coming to the retentivity controller, yep, Intel'due south Haswell-East is officially the starting time HEDT platform to feature support for DDR4 memory. The DDR4 memory controller lies on the processor itself through which information technology is directly connected. The new DDR4 retentiveness modules consume merely 1.2 V of ability compared to i.65/ane.5V standard with DDR3. The can feature upto xvi banks of memory and require a 288-Pivot DIMM connectors which would be available on the new X99 chipset motherboards. The DDR4 memory controller offers Quad channel retentivity back up. DDR4 would offer faster clock speeds and the Haswell-Due east platform supports frequencies o 2133 MHz, 2667 MHz O.C +.

LGA 2022-3 Socket Supports Haswell-East Processors

Intel is also preparing the latest LGA2011-three socket which has like dimensions simply a different ILM key design which allows simply for Haswell-E processor compatibility. Intel adds compatibility for both their Channel DRX-B Liquid cooler and T-HPHS air cooler with the LGA 2022-3 socket for Haswell-Due east processors.

Meliorate Overclocking Back up For Overclockers

Just similar Haswell and Ivy Bridge-E before it, Haswell-E would retain the great overclocking features that would ship with the "K" serial and "Extreme Edition" processors. Both the memory and processor tin can be overclocked beyond limits with unlocked turbo limits, unlocked core ratios in fourscore/100 increments, programmable iVR voltage, support for XMP mode, unlocked memory controller and voltage limits, native back up for retentivity upto 2667 MHz, Unlocked PCH and PLL voltage controls and more. A single Haswell-E processor would feature two x16 and 3 x8 Gen iii PCI-e support with 40 lanes and would be directly connected to the DDR4 memory controller and the Wellsburg X99 chipset. The characteristic set would remain the with technologies such every bit SSE4, AVX, VT, AESNI under its chugalug.
