Intel Octacore i7-5960X Haswell-E Review Part I @ Madshrimps

Recommended Posts

Hello dear reader,

**Intel Octacore i7-5960X Haswell-E Review Part

I*******************************************************

------------------------------------------------------------------------

August 29, 2014 the launch date of another of Intel's finest desktop

processors. This time the enthusiast range gets a complete overhaul! Bye

bye Ivy Bridge-E, welcome 22nm successor Haswell-E and it is more than a

new processor architecture; DDR4 memory support is finally here. Now in

contradiction to other launch articles and due to time constraints the

exploring of Intel's latest marvel will be spread out over a few parts.

Having just received the sample from Intel a few days back it was nearly

impossible to properly explore the new architecture. First of all our

official Intel sample was lost for over a week in the Benelux Bermuda

Triangle; secondly the main motherboard manufacturer which promised us a

board for this article had hardly any sample stock. This Haswell-E

launch seemed a bit doomed from the start. So in Part 1 we will just

provide you with a quick comparison versus the previous generations we

have in the MadShrimps Lab. Enlighten you with some insights on how the

brand new DDR4 memory behaves versus the high end Quad Channel DDR3

counterparts. More testing is in progress and results will be covered in

upcoming updates
