Intel Haswell Comes with 14 Cores and 35 MB L3 Cache - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Da_Maniac_;36550844]FUCK YOUR POWER OF 2 NUMBERS. INTEL IS BEING NONCONFORMIST.[/QUOTE] Wait another year or two for 16-core chips then. Crybabies these days...

Still rockin my Q6600 proudly

[QUOTE=ClarkWasHere;36551749]One is a power of two. It's just 2 to the zero power.[/QUOTE] That's no fair, its also a power of every god damn number ever if that's what you use to identify its power

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;36554806]probably the same experience i had i had an athlon xp 9600 (RADEON 9600, not geforce), ran tf2 at 800x600 on lowest settings + high fps config at 8FPS, then on my new pc i had a phenom II x3 720 and a 4870, then i popped up tf2 and saw it on max graphics for the first time 200+FPS, at 1920x1080 with 8xAA i laughed like i was high[/QUOTE] Same story here. Went from a shitty low-form factor Pentium 4 / Geforce 6200 to a Q6600 / HD4850 build. I didn't even know 3D games could run this fluidly. Played Left4Dead till deep into the night. My grades have been pretty bad ever since :(

Just built a 3570k based build for my friend a week ago, time to start saving up for my own new rig. (I couldn't believe how fast it was, I love technological advances)

[QUOTE=The golden;36551246]And my Q6600 becomes even more outdated.[/QUOTE] I feel you man. But this is sounding pretty awesome, but after what happened to bulldozer I think we'll just have to wait and see. Intel is usually pretty efficient however, but I don't want to get too excited.

Ill stick with AMD Thank you, Its a personal choice.

Please tell us more about your Personal Opinion™! [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] Talking about AMD anyways, I'm still rocking my vision A8-3500m on my laptop. It plays games surprisingly well. I can get GTAIV (unoptimized as fuck) on 30fps on mid-high settings. So I guess I won't be upgrading for a while still.

And I just bought a 3570k... fuck me.

I don't know why they don't mention it, but I'm pretty sure this is the line that's going to have out-of-line instruction handling. Which is a big deal.

[QUOTE=Dizzeh;36556986]Ill stick with AMD Thank you, Its a personal choice.[/QUOTE] AMD is cheap, that's what is good about it. i can just stick a new AM3 processor in my computer and be set for at least another 2 years.

[QUOTE=Da_Maniac_;36550607]And I literally just got an Ivy bridge.[/QUOTE] i got a sandy bridge when it comes to pricing these things

Next Broadwell... What the hell is Skylake going to be like? Holy crap!

Let's just say I'm on a Coppermine. PIII. Errrrrr.

This is probably a server grade processor, a jump from 4 to 14 is too much for one generation.

And I almost bought Bulldozer. That would've been a mistake even if this never came out.

Was planning to get a comp this year, good thing I decided to wait until Haswell

This is a server processor, I bet its going to have the same benchs as AMD in single core perf, maybe better who knows.

[QUOTE=Metalcastr;36558413]This is probably a server grade processor, a jump from 4 to 14 is too much for one generation.[/QUOTE] Sandy Bridge extreme processors have 6.

[QUOTE=Metalcastr;36558413]This is probably a server grade processor, a jump from 4 to 14 is too much for one generation.[/QUOTE] + I dont see any of the tech review sites going crazy with it (even the pro-intel ones). 14 cores is just something assumed by the site the OP mentioned.

...

The cores aren't all lost though. Things like real time ray tracing can actually be a reality.

It's about bloody time we see some major progress. we've been stagnating for several years now

Jesus Christ, guys - do you think this thing will be released tomorrow? And that it'll cost as much as a 2500k overnight? Upgrading now isn't a mistake.

I'll start the bidding with an Intel Desktop Board and a Pentium 4 640 (3.0 GHz)

[QUOTE=Smug Bastard;36552974]And here I am with my Phenom 955 [IMG]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-saddowns.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE] You mean Phenom II 955? Ah, dont whine, i got a 955BE and that thing still runs pretty much everything on max. [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] Also i dont even know if there is a game that supports 14 cores..

[QUOTE=Binge le mag;36558437]And I almost bought Bulldozer. That would've been a mistake even if this never came out.[/QUOTE] Buying Bulldozer is in itself a mistake. AMD's APUs are great, but Bulldozer sucked pretty hard. Enormous die size, very large power consumption, pretty bad single core performance, multi-core performance wasn't as good as it should have been and it was overall expensive when it launched. The price isn't that bad right now, but I'd still avoid it. Piledriver hopefully fixes some of these issues. [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=newbz;36560201]The graph of CORES V.S. CORES would be: y=x An more interesting graph would be CORES V.S. DIFFICULTY TO PROGRAM (IN UNITS OF CORES) Which would probably be exponential. I'm guessing the difficulty would be O(n^c), where O is big "O" notation and c is the amount of cores. If you're not a computer scientist or did not understand what I just said, ignore the last paragraph.[/QUOTE] I have a slight suspicion that you think too highly of yourself.

[QUOTE=bohb;36561305]Quick! Everyone must pitch in to get this man a better computer! I'll start the bidding with an Intel Desktop Board and a Pentium 4 640 (3.0 GHz)[/QUOTE] Guess I should feel bad for having a C2D rig laying around with 4 gigabyte ram and a ATI Radeon HD4870 that I don't have any use for. Oh well :v:

I desperately need to buy a new video card within a month or two, but I fear that it will be a bottleneck. Is it a bad idea to mix a last-gen GPU with a next-gen CPU?
