CPU Sandy bridge-e leaked info

Core i7 3960X. six-core@3.3GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) 15MB Cache.

Core i7 3930. six-core@3.2GHz (Turbo 3.8GHz) 12MB Cache.

Core i7 3820. quad-core@3.6GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) 10MB Cache.

All three have a 130W TDP.

 

source? & holy cow, WANT!

 

Thats a huge cache I bet they're going to be horribly expensive

 

Doesn't look like these are going to be 2600k price

 

I'm just curious what that quad core one performs like compared to SB quads...

 

indeed! edit: 3960 is extreme obviously, 3930 will be an unlocked multiplier, but not a extreme chip, and 3820 will just be bog standard

 

WOOHOO

And in ten years time we might have some games to use them!

 

Now if we could just get a leaked release date or if they will come out this year or next. That would be very helpful information indeed!

 

And prices...

 

Or the chips...

new leaks of performance spec. this time it is on the high end core i7 3960X. links and pics below


notice how the 6 core 3930 is a "K" processor, however Intel seems to differentiate it from the EE version by the "X" for the 3960.


sure its only synthetic benchmarks but it does give some sort of image

Hmmm.

Even at lower clocks it's outperforming its predecessor, by a circa 15% margin in synthetics - That's a good sign!

TSB

 

Hmm. May have to pick one of these up to replace my crap overclocking chip.

 

Hey petey, how far have you gotten with that chip?

Oh btw, apparently the LGA2011 3960k is $999 MSRP.

Yeah, I'll pass on this.

 

4.2GHz @ ~1.35V The bad luck continues. I should've just bought ANOTHER Classified board for my 920.

Call me weird but even though LGA1366 is supposed to be slower, it seemed to be 'smoother'.

 

Ah yes, but the 3930, which is an unlocked chip, but not an extreme processor, should be cheaper, I HOPE! Otherwise I might be jumping ship, or waiting for ivy bridge. Or I might have to start saving my money NOW!

 

Thats nothing to shout about when you consider just how good SB is already. Maybe in heavily threaded apps it'll out run it and thats where it's aimed at.

 

The 3930 won't be that much cheaper. Not being pessimistic but look back to the whole i7 990x/980x v i7 970.

Yes it was cheaper, half price even, but at a whopping $500 it's still not exactly obtainable or practical for most of us.

I wonder how much IB will be? On the bright side, all I need is a new processor unless Intel plays that old socket switcharoo on us and makes a LGA1157.

 

Ah yeah I know, I was thinking it's going to be like the 980x when it came out $999, and the 970 idk $800 probably? Oh well I better start saving my pennies oh well on a brighter note thank god there's a load of overtime at work this month

Intel shouldn't do a socket change, as ivy bridge chips should drop straight into lga 1155 boards with a bios update, but you will have a newer chipset to agonise over ;D
