I wonder what they will charge for the i7-5960k.
Hmmm...looking at efficiency here, what a trade off. The TDP looks great actually - 140W for "2" Haswells, that would be like 70W TDP each. Problem is, the clock is down to 3GHz.Devil's Canyon Haswell will be what, and additional 1.5GHz right out of the box?
I'd expect the 5960X would overclock way above the stock 3 GHz and that they only set this speed to keep heat low on the stock Intel cooler. With a better cooler, you should be able to reach 4.2 GHz without trying very hard, barring any quirkiness from the DDR4.
DDR4 quirks? New tech never has any quirks! At least according to companies like *cough* *cough* Apple.
Devil's Canyon IS compatible with Z87 motherboards, it turns out. Previously Intel had worded a slide to make it appear it wouldn't be. Marketing BS.
Extra capacitors have been added to the underside of the Devil's Canyon CPUs which are supposedly going to help make overclocking better and aid in stability. Better thermals, etc. etc.
According to Intel, they will be available at the end of the month, with reviewers getting samples in a week or so.

Sweet!
Is there anything to that asterisk after the PCI-Express on the slide? Just curious. Anyway, this looks like what we expected the regular Haswell to be - if it delivers, the enthusiast community is going to be happy again.
I'm sure that asterisk is just a footnote. Probably stating something about all PCIe channel availability dependent on MB configuration, or some such thing.
I am very happy that you all can write and speak Chinese.

Right. It's just the PCIe configurations. Can be either 1x16, 2x8 or 1x8+2x4. Standard stuff.
