Intel delay Broadwell again.

Intel delays higher-end



Now Skylake get release way earlier than Broadwell... my solution, Just skip BW and focus on SL.


Seriously I hope SL dont get pushed back if not I will be damn pissed.

 

[Felfirez]

That explains alot for the existence of DC. I don't find any sense in have dc at all for Intel.

 

[muddle]

Yup. Scrap broadwell. Release next architecture with ddr4 and more sata express ports please.

Skylake and Broadwell are using 14nm process.
If Broadwell having yield issue, same for Skylake.

On top of that, Intel usually follows tick tock model. There is also no competition from AMD. So no hurry to release Skylake.

Meanwhile, get a DC and enjoy.

Sigh.... this is what happens when there is no competition.......

 

[devilwahaha]

I really wonder how the probably 10-15% increase in IPC or ddr4 ram for these next or next next gens will really benefit you guys to justify such rage

 

[SEvsNK]

Release also wait for reviews, after that wait for price drop. Alot more to wait

Its not that i need ddr4 support. I just hate to buy something that is months away from being obsolete. I remember i bought an expensive agp card only to be rendered obsolete by pci express.

Intel delay anything end user can't do anything. Since no user will choose amd to show how pissed they are, i don't think delay will cause damage to Intel anyway and Intel also don't give a damn....

In consumer space, what more do u want? Already have 2, 3, 4 ghz clockspeeds, have integrated gpu so no need to purchase discreet gpu for low power builds, support 32gb ram more than enough for most consumers, multi-core variants to speed up ur tasks, etc.

There is. It's called ARM, Qualcomm, Samsung and Apple instead of AMD.

In fact hor, I go as far as to say they got so obsessed in beating AMD and process shrinks that they didn't see "good enough and far cheaper" ARM CPUs evolving so fast and suddenly dominating the consumer market by storm. The days where Intel can extract huge margins of CPUs are definitely over.

Intel extracts huge margins from the server market, not desktop. Desktop is/will not be critical to Intel's survival. Server was/is/will be. Mobile will be.

Why the f should Intel care about enthusiasts? The volume of OEM office PCs far outstrip enthusiasts. Intel is not here to please people. Intel is to make a frigging profit and ensure its survival as a corporate entity.

LOL then why consumer still look forward to SL or Broadwell?​

those ARM SOCs are nowhere near enough competition for AMD and Intel. At best you're looking at only baytrail level performance.

Sufficient for office work though.

To be honest even in the office I wouldnt want to be reliant on those. In my office dependent on your needs you can even get up to Xeons... But even the lowest end is a 4570... 3yrs refresh once

That is true that ARM chips can't compare well against an Intel chip. However, I believe those multi core ARM processors are good enough for say data centre usage while keeping the cost low in terms of the chip cost and power cost.

in front people keep saying DC, what is DC?

Its not practical in our modern datacenters because real estate costs and cooling requirements very quickly outweigh the initial setup cost savings of having cheaper processors since you need many more to provide comparable performance.

Furthermore many datacenters are downscaling and offloading many functions to VDI & cloud services. In addition alot of mncs relocate their dcs to cheap 3rd world countries like India to cut costs
