Guess I'll be keeping the I5-2500's for a long while yet then. Was so looking forward to going for full upgrades at the end of the year
2500k's are lasting well, if I had one (heck, or even a Nehalem or Lynnfield I7) I'd be hanging on to it gladly. I wonder when we'll see the next "Sandybridge".
Well im on an i7 2600k and I'm just gonna sit back and wait for DDR4 prices to fall. It's not like anything holds it back and I can always overclock if needed.
Disappointed in the performance. Although the TDP is higher, the actual power consumption during normal use should be lower than Haswell. Hopefully the die shrink will mean improved OC capability, but I think I'm just dreaming...
The die shrink means there will be more in the chip and still unlikely to be able to solder the IHS to it, so it may run even hotter.
PCPer are saying intel looking like NOT releasing retail broadwell for desktop and going straight to skylake ; broadwell OEM only
Intel have been getting them ready for shipment for a fair few months. They are most likely already at retailers, whom are just waiting for the green light to put the page live on their site. I know that there are desktop Broadwell chips, so that's not true. Source: I have some insider knowledge.
Holy crap that onboard performance is sick. Beating low end gpus even whilst using just 10-12 watts of power that's just mental. Wonder if this chip will end up in the next Apple MacBook Air MacBook Pro. AMD look in even more trouble than they ever did.
Same in France : i7-5775C (429€) : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00188822.html i5-5675C (319€) : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00188815.html
pass me the salt and pepper - I`ll eat my hat! that is nothing short on outstanding! shame skylake wont have the same iGPU edit: http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Broad...775C-i5-5675C-Iris-Pro-Graphics-6200-1160517/ BF4 with GTX 780Ti
Something to keep you busy while waiting for the delivery, Anandtech has published the first part of a 2 part review on the i7-5775C and Core i5-5765C here.
So Broadwell may actually suck horrificly for overclocking. Either that, or, the sample that Intel used was shockingly bad. I can't see it going from stock at like 1.1v or less to needing 1.28v for 200 MHz, though. I think someone didn't know what they were doing.
Hexus is reporting that Skylake will finally surface during Gamescom in Köln, Germany on 6th-9th August.
