Intel Core i7-5960X – eight cores 3.0GHz, 140W TDP

At last the big Intel Haswell-E cores are coming. There will be three different CPU's One with eight cores - i7-5960X - 3GHz and two with six cores i7-5930K - 3.5GHz and i7-5820K - 3.3GHz. All of the CPU's are with TDP of 140W and like you can see on the eight core i7-5930K it's with reduced operating frequency in order to keep the TDP in the 140W limits.

All of the CPU/s will support Hyper-Threading which means that the top CPU will have 16 logical cores and the other two 12 logical cores. The interesting things is that they wont support ECC server memory but they will support DDR4 memory and they will need Intel X99 Express motherboard to work.

The price tag expected for them is 999$ for the top CPU and around 600$ for the other two. Of-course there is time before this cpu-s comes to the market so lets see what Intel will have in mind about them.
