Raja Koduri leaves AMD to join Intel.

A surprising news was confirmed by Intel the chief architect of Radeon technology group part of AMD Raja Koduri is joining Intel to lead their newly formed Core and Visual Computing Group. It seems that Intel want to get piece of the graphics pie. They have such graphics unit from before but it looks now that they want to spend some money and get results. Its not sure that they will start to develop product line from zero or they will continue based on their old work, but only the future will shows us what will hapen. Even if they take decision to start from zero Intel is big company and the can afford it. But if after few years they dont make good sales maybe some of the holders will be unhappy.
So lets wait for more new from intel

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.
