The 8 core/16 threaded monster is coming soon too. 5960X. $1000.00. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-C...%20Extreme%20Edition.html I'll just bet you are going to buy 4 of them and put them on a quad board.  (I do not know if they are compatible with a quad board or not, but I doubt it.) I wonder who is going to be the first on the block to have one. Maybe Movieman will try one out.Cheers These are single socket only. I will wait until next year before getting one. I never jump on new technology until the bugs are worked out. Supposed to be a slightly slower version coming out early next year. MM will be getting the new 18 core monsters shortly I presume. Not sure if he will mess with these.

At a grand a piece these things are only for early adopters who really need a performance boost like video editing/rendering perhaps. The boost will not only come from a high core/multi-threaded basis but also from the new DDR4 memory. If I had more money than sense it sure would be nice to try one out just to see how well they would perform. Cheers

I think for most people the choice will be between the Haswell-E i7-5820k and the i7-4790k. 6 cores/12T @ 3.33 ghz easily overclockable or 4 cores/8T stock 4ghz.
----------------------------------------The 6c/12t i7-5820k is available at microcenter for $299. A Hex core intel has never been this affordable. And if you're game, its even unlocked and overclockable. 4 ghz+ should not be out of the question.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by ryan222h at Sep 1, 2014 2:23:57 PM] |

In this decision one must consider how many PCIe-Lanes one needs.
----------------------------------------The i7-5960X and i7-5930K supports 40 PCIe-Lanes and the i7-5820K "only" 28 PCIe-Lanes.  |

That's not an issue for those who don't have the money for more than 1 high end graphics card. If you have the money for more than 1 high end graphics card then you can probably afford the more expensive CPU's too. Even if you have 2 high end graphics card, one running at x16 and one at x8, the difference is not of significance.

I see the 8 core is out. Anyone buy one yet to crunch with?

No, baught my i7-3930k just 1,5 yrs ago. In my case it would be more interesting to get a 12-core xeon that is compatible with my mainboard.
----------------------------------------New mainboard, ram and cpu is too expensive for me. |

Well I've been researching a bit about the differences. I notice that the I7-5820K is rated higher than an I7-4930K for about 200 less.
----------------------------------------I can't even begin to justify a $1000+ CPU, but under $400 bucks that scores 13,440 vs my I7 2600K at 8589. This was @ http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html I'll keep the 2600K til it dies though, it has 44 million points almost double any other device I've had! New mobo required of course, and the DDR4 RAM @2400 vs my DDR3 @ 1600. I'll prob only get 16 GIGS it's still quite expensive, and make a ram drive. I have a graphics card (a 7950) and power supply, so should be around $1200 or so? I looked at the xeons (2600 v3 series) 12, 14 18 cores... way too much money or I would like to do it. The 18 core topped over 3000 euros... INSANITY. I wish intel would make a promotion to sell ONE to a customer that has over X amount of BOINC points at a reasonable price. Say 1000 bucks. I would def get one then (ok, I'd like a dual socket while I'm dreaming  I know it would totally get abused, too bad. I wish that they were on the 14nm process for better electricity...  |

I believe that it can be wise to wait for Broadwell-E. For several reasons.
----------------------------------------1. We might see 8 core (16 thread) in consumer packages at more humane consumer prices ($500-$600). 2. The DDR4 modules should be faster and more reliable by that time. Latencies should be lowered, speeds should go up, price should go down. 3. Broadwell-E /should/ provide more performance and cut the power consumption more than Haswell-E did in comparison to IvyBridge-E since it will be manufactured at a 14nm process. We can already see reports on upoming laptops with brodwell seemingly performing very well when considering they are fanless. If one wants to buy a hexa-core cpu today perhaps it is a reasonable idea to go for IvyBridge-E or Sandy Bridge-E. Because: 1. Should be very possible to get those parts cheap now 2. They perform very well! 3. They OC perfectly fine (see my sig) 4. You can use cheap(er) DDR3 RAM (up to 64 GB should be enough) Having that said...of course I am also drooling over the Octo-core 5960X, on a daily basis, but then reason luckily strikes my brain again :)  Join The International Team: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=CK9RP1BKX1 AMD TR2990WX @ PBO, 64GB Quad 3200MHz 14-17-17-17-1T, RX6900XT @ Stock AMD 3800X @ PBO AMD 2700X @ 4GHz |

I read somewhere awhile back (can't remember where) that early next year, intel will release a 8 core but less expensive sometime early next year. Am hoping as a grand for a chip is out of my budget.
