[Oficial] Intel Core "all" Series

[Enzo]

Que loucura, voçes jogam ou trabalham assim tanto para justiticar esses monstros?

Para jogar, até sair o Fallout4, bastava um i5 moderno ou um i7 com mais alguma idade. 10 cores para gaming, continua a ser exagero, mas os 6, penso que seriam muito bem vindos.
Para encode como o LPC quer, mais nunca é demais. Para virtualizacao, dependendo do que quiseres fazer a seguir, ate podes por dois cpus (versao xeon) para teres resultados satisfatorios (duas maquinas gaming numa unica torre, por exemplo)

Boas!
10 cores deve ser fantástico para encoding...

É que o 4K deve vir a ser o mainstream para o ano... escreve o que te digo...

Cumprimentos,

Malta acho que vocês estão muito impulsivos
Isto são cpus para quem faz vida disso.... Encoding e afins...

A Malta que faz 1 vídeo por mês pode bem esperar 2/3 h ou mais pelo resultado final

Esperem por realmente avanços no mundo dos cpus

Intel’s Flagship Core i7-6950X “Broadwell-E” Specifications Confirmed, All Four SKUs Detailed – Upto 10 Cores, 25MB Cache and 140W TDP

A few days ago, we reported the first leaked specifications of Intel’s Broadwell-E HEDT (High-End Desktop Platform) which is expected to retail in first half of 2016. From the early reports we gathered, it was revealed that Broadwell-E lineup will feature a total of four new SKUs which will make use of the latest 14nm process node and will update the core count once again for the flagship SKU which is going to be beast for enthusiasts.

Intel Broadwell-E Specifications and SKU Details Confirmed – Core i7-6950X Indeed Rocks 10 Cores, 20 Threads and Massive 25MB Cache

For years now, Intel has been offering quad core and even dual core options on their mainstream lineup. The multi-threading design is available on their top-tier chips but it isn’t equivalent of actual cores on the die itself. To feed the need of enthusiasts, Intel has split their lineups into two categories, the mainstream family and the enthusiast family. The mainstream family consists of parts that are focused on regular consumers with gaming, business and home uses. Now Intel has done a good job in providing some decent overclocking features with K series processors that are featured in the mainstream lineup and board partners offer some cool motherboard options to users on the platform but those who need the best performance from Intel look at the HEDT lineup which includes the high-end desktop parts ranging from top of the line chips, motherboards and I/O options.
As known, Intel has segmented their top-of-the-line processors in the HEDT family with Extreme and Unlocked series options. Starting off with the first HEDT option that was available with the Core i7-965 Extreme Edition and the Core i7-980X which launched later, Intel has released several generations of HEDT processors, each one besting the previous in a couple of ways. The Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell generations have all seen their own HEDT processors from the Core i7-3960X, Core i7-4960X and the latest Core i7-5960X. The Core i7-980X was Intel’s first 6 core processor and the Core i7-5960X is Intel’s first 8 core processor. They both retailed at a launch price of $999 US and the latest entrant will be the Core i7-6950X, the first 10 Core consumer processor. The processor will be part of the Broadwell-E launch lineup which will also consist of the following processors:

• Intel Core i7-6900K
• Intel Core i7-6850K
• Intel Core i7-6800K

Intel Core i7-6950X – The First Consumer Deca Core Processor

The Intel Core i7-6950X processor will be the flagship processor of the Broadwell-E lineup. The processor will feature 10 cores and 20 threads. The processor will run at a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a 3.50 GHz boost clock. The processor will come in an unlocked package to allow overclocking support to enthusiasts but I think Intel will be making a point with the upcoming launch, that they are not stopping at 8 cores for their HEDT family but increasing the core count even further for consumers. The processor rocks 25 MB of L3 cache (2.5 MB per core) and will be compatible with current generation X99 motherboards that feature the LGA 2011-v3 socket. There’s no reason to believe that board partners of Intel won’t launch new motherboards to mark the arrival of the first 10 core processor from any company, whether Intel or AMD in the consumer market. Although Intel and AMD have both released higher core count processors in the server and workstation market, no 10 core high-performance CPU has yet launched in the desktop PC market. The Core i7-6950X is expected to launch at price of $999 US.

Intel Core i7-6900K – The More Affordable and Faster Octa Core Offering

Although the Core i7-6950X is one hell of a processor, Intel will also launch three more SKUs in the Broadwell-E lineup. This is the first time that Intel is launching four processors in an HEDT lineup but it might cover up the big price differences we have seen in the older lineups. Starting off with the Core i7-6900K which is an 8 core processor with 16 threads and has 20 MB of L3 Cache. Now the processor specifications reminds me of the 8-Core Core i7-5960X which is the flagship Haswell-E offering that launched back in 2014 but fear not, this new processor would not only be a little bit cheaper than the Core i7-5960X but also come with faster clock speeds of 3.20 GHz base and 3.70 GHz boost. All along with the added sweetness of an unlocked multiplier and full support on the latest X99 motherboards to allow for better overclocking. The Core i7-6900K is expected to hit the market at around $550 US range.

Intel Core i7-6850K and Core i7-6800K – Hexa Core Chips For The Entry Level Enthusiasts

At the bottom of the lineup, Intel will have two SKUs, the Core i7-6850K and the Core i7-6800K. Both CPUs have 6 cores and 12 threads and come with 15 MB of L3 cache but the interesting thing is that both chips are placed for the entry level enthusiasts which means these will be retailing for a price of sub-$450 US. The Core i7-6850K will feature a base clock of 3.60 GHz base and 3.80 GHz boost while the Core i7-6800K will feature clock speeds of 3.40 GHz base and 3.60 GHz boost. Both processors are fully compliant with the LGA 2011-3 socket and will feature support for quad channel DDR4 memory with speeds of up to 2400 MHz (O.C+). The new chips will be arriving around second quarter of 2016.

cpus com 50$ de diferença?.....

[Enzo]

Um deve fazer mais oc e ter menos pci-lanes...que era algo que eu gostaria de ter visto nessa tabela. Mas aceitam-se apostas, do mais caro para o mais barato: 40, 40, 28, 20.

[Sonas]

6850k = 28 lanes + 200mhz
6800k = 28 lanes - 200mhz

Pelo menos e' o que se ve em reviews (nao dos cpus mas das specs)
Isto parece-me o tipico caso de "sugar o €€€€" aos consumidores tipo FX-8320 e FX-8350 onde a diferença era basicamente mais 500mhz...

Contudo a ver o que as reviews dos CPUS dizem apos testes reais aos mesmos... para ja parecem ser basicamente iguais!

[Enzo]

Gosto mais da outra, 4670K VS 4690k, 100mhz
Isso é para dizerem que tem mercado para todos os bolsos e gostos. Desde os Ivy, que nao me lembro de ver 4 cpus na seccao extreme.

Intel provides more info about 72-core Knights Landing Xeon Phi

Earlier today we covered AMD's and Nvidia's initial announcements at the SC15 supercomputer conference in Austin, Texas. Intel is there too, of course, and started its publicity broadside by announcing several advancements to its Scalable System Framework (Intel SSF) for high performance computing (HPC). As part of the SSF it introduced Intel Omni-Path Architecture (Intel OPA). We also heard about the second generation Xeon Phi co-processors (code-named Knights Landing), which are in pre-production testing in several supercomputer-class systems.

Intel's SSF framework provides architectures, designs and validation tools to build validated systems. These systems will be scalable, flexible and balanced HPC systems for diverse applications such as data-driven analytics, visualization and machine learning, as we enter the predicted 'HPC everywhere' era. Many big name corporations are on board; the likes of Cray, Dell, Fujitsu, Supermicro and more are planning to launch systems based upon Intel SSF in 2016.

A key element of Intel SSF is the introduction of Intel Omni-Path Architecture (Intel OPA), "a new HPC-optimized fabric technology that makes the performance of HPC clusters more accessible to a broader variety of users". This end-to-end fabric solution significantly improves HPC application performance from entry level upwards. Intel OPA outperforms InfiniBand EDR within the same budget and uses up to 60 per cent less power.
Intel also informed us that preproduction second-generation Intel Xeon Phi processors (code-named Knights Landing) are running in several supercomputing-class systems including Los Alamos (Trinity system), NERSC (Cori system), and CEA in France. It expects 50 system providers will bring systems based upon this processor to market at launch.

According to a report carried by PCWorld, Knights Landing will sport 72-cores. This 14nm chip will deliver double-precision peak performance of more than 3 teraflops and single-precision performance of more than 8 teraflops. 16GB of on-package MCDRAM memory, providing 5x more bandwidth than DDR4 memory technology, will be installed on the package.
Knights Landing is the manifestation of Intel's desire to provide a significant step up in performance from its supercomputing cards without drawing more power. Accompanying software developments are important to this goal and Intel confirmed its support of the OpenHPC Collaborative Project plus investment in its Lustre software development at five new Intel Parallel Computing Centres.

Intel’s first Altera based chip out early 2016

What do you get when you cross a Xeon with Altera’s programmable chips?

Chipzilla has said that it will release the first fruits of its Altera buyout in early 2016.

The new chip which mixes its Xeon processors with Altera’s programmable chips will end up being sent to Intel’s biggest customers.
Diane Bryant, senior vice president of Intel’s Data Centre Group, speaking at the Structure Conference in San Francisco said the chip has been on the drawing board for more than a year – before Intel bought Altera.
For those who came in late Altera makes field programmable gate arrays, or FPGAs, which are chips that can be reprogrammed after manufacturing.
Such chips have been used in specialty applications, but were not typically used in the servers that run gigantic data centres. Intel’s estimates that FGPAs will run a third of data centre servers by the year 2020.

“Combining Xeon with FPGAs, gives Intel a more powerful and programmable chip that can plug into existing Xeon slots, said Bryant.

Early recipients of the chips will be the “Super 7” companies that run the biggest data centres in the world and by virtue of their size they get access to Intel’s technology earlier than the rest of the universe. Intel’s Super 7 are Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent.
The new chips will help Intel customers such as Microsoft and PayPal run search and transaction algorithms that are highly customizable and that change rapidly.

Intel Core i7 Broadwell-E launch set for Q2 2016 suggests leak

Intel's upcoming Core i7 Broadwell-E high-end desktop (HEDT) processors will hit the market in Q2 2016, according to a new leaked slide published by Chinese tech site Benchlife.info (via TechPowerUp). Q2 spans April to June and if you take the chart on face value, Intel Core i7 Broadwell-E chips sporting 6, 8 and 10 cores will become available towards the beginning of that quarterly period.

Earlier this week we reported on another Chinese leak, which provided the specifications of Intel's Core i7 Broadwell-E HEDT range of processors. The top of the range Core i7-6950X grabbed our attention as it comes equipped with 10 physical CPU cores and support for 20 threads. This chip also stands out from the pack thanks to its 'eXtreme' overclockability via an unlocked multiplier and voltage tweaking flexibility. I've reproduced the product lineup that we found out about below:
The full lineup of Intel Broadwell-E processors, using socket LGA2011-v3, is said to be as follows:

• Intel Core i7-6950X: 10 cores, 20 threads, 25MB L3 cache, 3.0GHz
• Intel Core i7-6900K: 8 cores, 16 threads, 20MB L3 cache, 3.3GHz
• Intel Core i7-6850K: 6 cores, 12 threads, 15MB L3 cache, 3.6GHz
• Intel Core i7-6800K: 6 cores, 12 threads, 15MB L3 cache, 3.4GHz

TPU says that the flagship Intel Core i7-6950X will cost approximately $1000, the mid-tier 8-core processor will cost around $600, with the entry level Broadwell-E chips priced around $400. All the Broadwell-E processors will have a TDP of 140W and be compatible with existing LGA2011v3 motherboards, given a requisite firmware update.
The new roadmap also shows some Kaby Lake schedules. Desktop users will have to wait around a year to see these processors offered for PC building purposes. However the Kaby Lake-U processors for laptops look to be scheduled for the end of summer, probably for the 'back to school' season.

Intel Confirms Details of Knight’s Landing Chip

At the Supercomputing Conference ’15, Intel revealed more information about their new 72-core chip, Knight’s Landing (codenamed KNL), as well as showing off the 14nm die. Rumors surrounding the specifications of the Knight’s Landing chip, but it was good to have official confirmation of the details, courtesy of Anandtech.
The most surprising detail of the KNL chip was visible from the wafer that Intel had to showcase at the event. Close examination showed that each individual Knight’s Landing die could be as large as ~683mm^2, while being on a 14nm node, which is huge for a chip. Knight’s Landing will also be available in 2 layouts, a PCIe card, like past Xeon Phi chips that required a separate internal OS, or as a socket form factor, which will act as a regular processor. Further, the socket form factor will pack 36 PCIe lanes, which allow it to handle usage of two Knight’s Corner PCIe co-processor units.
The main cores of Knight’s Landing will be based on modified x86 Silvermont cores, generally used in low-power processors such as Intel Atom and Celeron lines. Both of KNL’s form factors will carry stacked DRAM, a first for its type. The socket form factor, which is not bottlenecked by the PCIe lane will have super low latency connections, making it able to accept additional 2400Mhz DDR4 memory, like a typical processor. The Knight’s Landing chips will also carry an onboard hybrid memory cube (HMC). And while the HMC will not actually be part of or stacked upon the die, instead a fully custom HMC unit will surround the die, acting like an L3 cache and appearing like it is actually part of the die.
Intel also showcased a basic reference motherboard for the KNL socket factor. The board was longer than a typical ATX motherboard but also thinner. Interestingly the motherboard did not come with an Intel Omni-Path connector, which would limit its expandability. This could be rectified with either the addition of additional KNL units or PCIe Omni-Path cards.
If that isn’t all, Intel also published a compiled list of all the disclosures they have made regarding the Knight’s Landing architecture, which for those who want to know the hard figures behind the chip can find here.

Intel’s Broadwell-EP Xeon E5-2698 V4 Processor Benchmarked – Powered by 20 Cores, 40 Threads and 50 MB L3 Cache

Intel’s Broadwell-EP processors are going to launch in Q1 2016 but details of the some specific SKUs have already made their way on the web. Posted over at Chinese online retailer, Taobao, is a specific Intel Xeon “Broadwell-EP” SKU which has been marked as a qualification sample and one can buy it for 15,500 Chinese Yuan, although there are some things to think twice about before buying a non-retail chip off an unknown source, regardless, the user who made the listing posted some benchmarks of the specific chip which look really interesting.

Intel’s 20 Core Broadwell-EP Xeon E5-2698 V4 Processor Tested

So a little recap to Broadwell-EP, as we know, Intel has processors aimed for servers and workstation platforms that are branded under the Xeon family. These chip can be housed in platforms ranging from single socket, all the way up to 8 socket racks with large amounts of cores and memory working in parallel to accomplish several tasks and workloads. The Grantley and Brickland platform which will support the new Broadwell-EP and EX chip models (respectively) has already spanned the market for three generations. These include Ivy Bridge EP/EX V2, Haswell-EP/EX V3 and the latest Broadwell-EP/EX V4 processors. Broadwell-EP/EX V4 processors will be the last processors to arrive as Intel phases out their current platform and move to the new Purely Platform for Skylake and Cannonlake processors. The new Broadwell-EP/EX series will have a launch schedule as detailed below:

• Xeon E5 V4 family of processors will be landing in the first half of 2016. This will consist of the Broadwell EP series of processors for one. Which include the Xeon E5 1600 v4 and E5 2600 v4 family of processors for both single and dual socket motherboards. The E5 1600 v4 series will have upto 8 cores whieas the 2600v4 series will rock upto 22 cores and have full support of DDR4 2400 memory. The platform will be compatible with the C610 series chipset. The Broadwell-EP 4S platform (upto 4 sockets on one motherboard) consisting of the Xeon E5 4600 v4 will be launched sometime in Q2 2016.

• The Xeon E7 V4 family of processors, constituting the Broadwell-EX platform, and the nomenclature range of Xeon E7 4800v4 and Xeon E7 8800 v4 will be launched in Q2 2016. It will also be compatible with the existing Brickland platform.

• The Xeon Phi X200 series of products (Knights Landing) will be available in Q3 2016. Knight’s Landing was built on the 14nm Process and uses modified silvermont cores (x86 ofcourse). It is also one of the first mass produced components developed for this market segment that features stacked DRAM.

The processor we are looking at today is a direct replacement for the Haswell-EP based, 22nm Xeon E5-2698 V3 known as the Xeon E5-2698 V4. From the CPU-Z screenshot provided, the processor features a core clock of 2.10 GHz across the 20 cores which are hyper-threaded down to 40 threads. The CPU block is partitioned into several cache blocks with each core housing 2.5 MB L3 cache which equals a total of 50 MB L3 cache on this processor. The maximum core clock is suggested around 3.5 GHz (boost) while the chip has a TDP range of 130-140W. Compared to the E5-2698 V3 which had 16 cores, 32 threads, 40 MB L3 cache and a core clock ranging from 2.3 GHz to 3.6 GHz, the V4 is an incremental increase since it’s also based on an improved 14 nm process node. To sweeten up the deal, Intel will up the standard memory speed up to 2400 MHz, a good increase over the 2133/1866 MHz DIMMs supported as reference on current generation Xeon processors.
In terms of overall specifications, Broadwell-EP Xeon E5-2600 V4 processors will feature up to 22 cores while the EX series will feature up to 24 cores. The 22 core beast will feature a total of 44 threads and if we take 2.5 MB cache (per core slice) from Haswell-EP, we can expect to see up to 55 MB of L3 cache on these processors. The TDPs of the chips will range from 55 to 145 (160W Workstation only) and will be compatible with Socket R3. Broadwell-EP will feature up to 40 PCI-Express lanes and quad channel DDR4 memory support. The same chips will be tuned down into Broadwell-E (HEDT) chips which will range from 6 to 10 core models that will be offered to enthusiasts in late 2016.

In terms of benchmarks, the chips are a complete beast with DDR4 memory adding to increased memory bandwidth while the L3 cache bandwidth and latency numbers are in a league of their own. In CineBench, the chip (Xeon E5-2698 V4) scored an insane 4980 cb points in multi-threaded benchmark which is greater than the numbers from the 16 core Xeon E5-2698 V3.
This is just a small showcase of Broadwell-EP’s power as the bigger 22 core model, the Xeon E5-2699 V4 is also expected to launch at debut of the new and last Grantley Xeon family. You will see more of the new Xeon processors in action in 2016 with Intel aiming to offer a robust server and workstation offering to professional audience. Currently, Intel faces little challenge in the server space as they dominate the entire field. IBM does offer some decent packages in their Power lineup which can be found in top-of-the-line supercomputers but so does Intel. AMD is prepping their Zen core for integration in the next iteration of Opteron, server-focused processors which aim to bring AMD back in the professional CPU space.

• Intel Xeon E5-2650 V4

The top brass in the Broadwell-EP family consists of the Xeon E5-2699 V4 and the Xeon E5-2698 V4 processors which feature improved specifications over their predecessors in terms of core count. First up, we are looking at the flagship offering in the family known as the Xeon E5-2699 V4 which features the highest core count Intel has offered to date. With 22 cores and a multi-threaded design offering 44 threads, the chip packs insane CPU performance. With 2.5 MB cache scattered across each core, the die packs 55 MB L3 cache and is clocked at a range of 2.2 GHz base clock and up to 3.6 GHz boost clock. The entire chip has a TDP of 145W with workstation offerings of the chip going up to 160W.
The Xeon E5-2698 V4 processor features a core clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 3.5 GHz across 20 cores which are hyper-threaded down to 40 threads. The CPU block is partitioned into several cache blocks with each core housing 2.5 MB L3 cache which equals a total of 50 MB L3 cache on this processor. The maximum core clock is suggested around 3.5 GHz (boost) while the chip has a TDP range of 135W. Compared to the E5-2698 V3 which had 16 cores, 32 threads, 40 MB L3 cache and a core clock ranging from 2.3 GHz to 3.6 GHz, the V4 is an incremental increase since it’s also based on an improved 14 nm process node. Both processors will be able to support DDR4 (Quad Channel) memory with speeds of (up to) 2400 MHz. Details for the remaining chips are not fully disclosed but some bits and pieces are known which can be seen in the table posted below.

The Grantley and Brickland platform which will support the new Broadwell-EP and EX chip models (respectively) has already spanned the market for three generations. These include Ivy Bridge EP/EX V2, Haswell-EP/EX V3 and the latest Broadwell-EP/EX V4 processors. Broadwell-EP/EX V4 processors will be the last processors to arrive as Intel phases out their current platform and move to the new Purely Platform for Skylake and Cannonlake processors. The new Broadwell-EP/EX series will have a launch schedule as detailed below:

• Broadwell-EP E5 V4 family of processors will be landing in the first half of 2016. This will consist of the Broadwell EP series of processors for one. Which include the Xeon E5 1600 v4 and E5 2600 v4 family of processors for both single and dual socket motherboards. The E5 1600 v4 series will have upto 8 cores whieas the 2600v4 series will rock upto 22 cores and have full support of DDR4 2400 memory. The platform will be compatible with the C610 series chipset. The Broadwell-EP 4S platform (upto 4 sockets on one motherboard) consisting of the Xeon E5 4600 v4 will be launched sometime in Q2 2016.

• Broadwell-EP E7 V4 family of processors, constituting the Broadwell-EX platform, and the nomenclature range of E7 4800v4 and E7 8800 v4 will be launched in Q2 2016. It will also be compatible with the existing Brickland platform.

• The Xeon Phi X200 series of products (Knights Landing) will be available in Q3 2016. Knight’s Landing was built on the 14nm Process and uses modified silvermont cores (x86 ofcourse). It is also one of the first mass produced components developed for this market segment that features stacked DRAM.

We have also seen some benchmarks of the new chips which include the 20 core Xeon E5-2698 V4 and the 14 core Xeon E5-2680 V4 chips. Both chips are marked as QS (Qualification Samples) so final clock speeds and the performance numbers are expected to change when these chips are available to enterprise users. The Xeon E5-2600 V4 processors will be ready to ship in Q1 2016 followed by the 4S and 8S enterprise solutions in mid 2016.
