HEYYYY that aswome!!! but.... 6950 its 10 core

What a good new. That means that the process of lithography has improved. For the same energy there is more stability in the silicon cores disabled.

There margin stable "overclock".

Moreover, the nomenclature talk that will not be the flagship. That's what 70 or 90.

Very good news is LGA 2011 v3

When are these due out?


Just bought a 5930k haha...damn.....sounds like this will be a new "step" between the 930 and the 960? If they keep the same conventions

What with 3.30 imminent (some nice looking speed increases there), prices of 2696's looking attractive, and now this good news too.

I've only recently built my current machine (5960x), and plan upgrading to Windows 10 in around 8 months time. Might be a good moment to also whip out my current processor and put one of these beauties in instead

When are they being released?

[3LP]

I'm wondering the same thing as we'll need to build new WS and those would be a good candidate for those

Thanks
