Will they run Crysis?
I'll hang on for Skylake-E - hopefully by then we'll see 12cores+ so that I'll actually get a doubling from my Gulftown, otherwise I can't see the point in upgrading. But finally we're moving on from 8...
I remember back when a flagship product launched about the same time as the mainstream, not over a year later and it's getting longer.
I think Nehelem was the last in fact. Since then intel have been tech that's a generation old with the same naming nomenclature as the current mainstream ie SB-EX was 2xxx gen tech but released as 3xxx.
Say what you like about Intel though, their market segmentation is brilliant. If you thought charging a premium for overclocking was clever, splitting overclocking parameters and then charging for each tier separately is a stroke of (evil?) genius!
If anyone ever wondered why a competitive AMD is vital for PC users this speaks volumes.

PCI lanes info would have been nice :-(
Looking at the ridiculous Skylake pricing I dread to think how much these will be.
These should be good for my VM pc ha
Not without a dedicated GPU to help things along !
I picked up Crysis a couple weeks ago in a steam sale and only just get over 65fps average at 1440p using a gtx 970 and 4790k. When Crysis first came out I could run it at a decent frame rate (can't remember what but it was smooth) at 1680x1050 on my 8800 Ultra and Q6600. So hilariously enough it's probably a fair question with todays higher resolutions.
is it worth it?
I will just comment it with this graph.

Text doesn't appear to match the picture. Perhaps Hexus ought to add wild(?) rumour to the title![]()
why cant they call xeon which sound much cooler
That graph assumes only one single kernel of one single program running across all cores.
My work PC, a bit busy:
top - 15:54:42 up 35 days, 6:03, 18 users, load average: 10.98, 5.05, 2.00
Tasks: 402 total, 20 running, 382 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Yeah, I could use 10 cores. I max out 6 cores/12 threads on a daily basis.
WOW, sick! Can't wait for these to come on the market!
Needs more PCIe lanes. We had 40 with 6-cores back with SB-E. With the rise of M.2, etc., 40 isn't enough anymore.
