Core i7-5775C Priced at $479.99

Haha, whaaat?

 

Yeah, Ill be sticking with my 4790k for a bit...

 

Will last atleast 4 years.

 

Way too much. Not that I would even consider upgrading anyway, I'm pretty sure that my 3770K is good for at least two years.

 

Only thing I'd consider upgrading at this point is mobo and GPU.

 

Wow... Broadwell for Desktop will fail. Who should pay that ammount of money for a quad core CPU when Skylake is around the corner more or less?

 

Is this the successor to the (high end 4 core) i7 2700K/3770K/4770K/4790K?

...If so, then why is it priced so much higher? Especially considering it will likely be another moderate performance upgrade from the previous generation(s). Is Intel slowly ramping up prices on consumer chips?

 

I thought the same. But to be honest, I wouldn't say they do it slowly with this pricing
I'm curious if Skylake's top consumer chip will cost 500$ then... :3eyes:

 

Lack of competition. It does have better IGP but i dont think there will be any IPC increase compered to Haswell. I mean this price is nothing more than ridiculous.

 

Does Broadwell come with new supported instruction sets or? Seems like a very pointless product to me besides the IGP which is still terribad compared to APU's.

 

Isnt that just preorder price like usual?

 

May as well step up to X99 at that price.

 

same price as the 5820k 6 core , i would buy the 5820k over this rather have the extra cores

 

I guess Intel has decided it can raise prices again. This is just a taste of what would be if AMD were to disappear. Yes, I use AMD exclusively but that does not make me wrong. After all, the 5820k would be far better than this at a much better price.

 

Unfortunately no. From what I am told, the reason for the premium pricing is because of the iris pro igpu.

 

Here's what I just bought for ~$500...

AMD FX-8320E Black
MSI 970 Gaming mboard
8GB HyperX 2133 (2x4)
EVO 850 250GB SSD
1 SSD cradle
LG DVD Superdrive/burner
Corsair CX750M PSU
1 tube Arctic Silver
2x 18" SATA cables

There may have been something else, but I think that covers it...plus, they're all retail goods, not an OEM in the bunch...

Let's see...all of the above, or this new Intel cpu...uh...hard choice that [not.]

 

Oh, come on now, you know that thing runs at 1/4 the speed of the Intel and takes 6 millions dollars more a month in electricity, right? /sarcasm Good build for the price.

 

Really good choice but I hate seeing those FX E processors. They actually reduce performance by a good bit just to reduce power consumption.

 

Still lagging behind APU's with a premium price, not so good.

Only a madman would "upgrade" Haswell to Broadwell.
