    Here are some quick direct clock for clock, voltage to voltage comparisons with Haswell-E. Using an RVE here.

    Oh my freaking god-MUST HAVE! I dont think I will be able to afford something like that tough.At those prices I would need to work all month in order to buy just the Cpu.

    But wow 10 cores,20 threads!!! I would have guessed $1000 max, I dont see who is going to drop that kinda $ on a cpu.

    My first thought seeing 6950X was an HD Radeon 6950.

    I get 1647 score with my 5960x, it is going to feel weird and unfamiliar when I no longer have the most powerful consumer chip in the solar system.

    In countries like mine, you will have to work a whole year, year and a half. If you dont spend a dime that is :)

    where do you live? in Canada it is going to cost over 2000$ easily with our bad economy right now. I cant believe I payed only 1000$ Canadian at the time for the 5960x because right now it costs like 1400$ or more.

    I've heard it will be ~$2500 in Canada.

    Not a huge fan of changing processors because of the LGA pins and the price/performance here is particularly underwhelming.

    NCIX already has an SKU for it:

    With tax and shipping, $2500 CAD seems about right.

    There is no basis for trying to figure out how much it will cost. Intel has never even hinted at the pricing. Everything is pure speculation, but it will probably be closer the $1000 mark.

    Cinebench is very dependent on nubmer of cpu cores and scales great with multi-core processors, as every modern cpu rendering engine does.
    25% more cores and +19.5% acceleration probably means that single core speed is the same as 5960X (at same clock).
    Hm... 14nm + 2 more cores... Nice.

    There is talk that this chip uses a MCC die configuration instead of LCC. Could result in lower per core IPC in some scenerios..
    So it is possible that even in a standard user scenario, it will not be the "be all end all" cpu for the standard gamer. Remains to be seen.

    I was going to pick one up but if there is "possibly" not much ipc improvement over a 5960x, there really is no reason to for the price. Even if you do other stuff then game.

    Well you need to take into consideration how much the cost of living is also,Gas and things alike...Trust me you have no reason to envy me.:)

    The max id pay for a Cpu would be $500 dollars not a penny more.This is just getting out of hand.But I guess its good to have a (Halo) product in order to get the public to drool.:3eyes:

    Hmmm not really seeing Broadwell-E making me sorry I got Haswell-E.

    Why would it, it's not like Skylake blew Haswell out of the water either, so don't expect ridiculous performance from Skylake E either when it drops.

    Personally I hope they skip Sky E and go straight Kaby E at least Kaby wud have native USB3.1 HDCP2.2 and a few other nice things Skylake doesn't

    Personally I find myself in the funny situation to not even mind that much in regards to USB standards, HDCP or anything for that matter, don't ask me why I never came across limitations in such fields. I own a single USB3.0 stick right now. :D

    But yes, Skylake isn't such a tease to me, personally I think currently my system is overpowered CPU wise anyway, for coming years I don't plan to change CPU / mainboards / RAM. Was just interested in seeing how quickly things change now, which they don't seem to be with Broadwell or Skylake... we'll see how Kabi does.

    The standards and what not are not a massive concern to me either at the moment, but the Skylake platform update was needed, nice to see Kaby Lake is getting on top of things even more in that regard. But I don't see Kaby doing anything special IPC wise like the last few gens, nor Canonlake for that matter as thats mostly a die shrink from 14nm to 10nm.

    Personally I think Intel are going to be headed more and more into the cloud now, and eventually we'll see most if not all computation done there and not in a computers at home thus negating a need for oh so powerful systems in the home.
