Re: [H] Greg 4930K
The 4930K is based on the Ivy Bridge architecture, not Haswell, and will be supported in existing X79 motherboards. They are expected the first half of September. I'm pretty disappointed--even though the die itself will have 12 physical cores (for IB-EP for 2P platforms in the Xeon E5 V2 line), the desktop-class i7 chips will top out at 6C/12T--even the $1k EE--meaning half of them will be permanently disabled. Haswell-E chips will use a new socket (LGA2011-3) and be released with a new chipset (X99?). These are hopefully to be released in 2014. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 12:51 AM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Greg 4930K Greg, have you heard anything about when Intel plans on releasing the Haswell 4930K? Do you think that any Haswell motherboard purchased now would work with a 4930K? Thanks w

So, after we fork over extra moolah for Haswell K SKUs, we get : 1) Crappy TIM 2) Gimped feature set (no VT-d, TSX, etc) For Haswell non-K SKUs, they removed +4 bin overclocking. -- Jin-Wei Tioh http://jwtioh.bluesonic.net Death is just God's way of dropping Carrier Detect

According to VR-Zone, Intel Ivy Bridge-E CPUs would be based on the 22nm Tri gate architecture and would be compatible with LGA 2011 sockets with the X79 chipset or the rumored X99 chipset which is currently in works. It's all rumor 'till it happens :) Al

I was hoping to upgrade my sandy-e to ivy-e but don't know if it will be worth it. I'm OC'd to 4.2Ghz (3930K). Any thoughts?
