é bem provável que conheçam, ou então querem saturar o mercado entusiasta com octa-cores para tapar caminho à AMD, aumentado depois o preço dos processadores.
Broadwell-E to launch at Computex 2016 with 10 cores
Specifications for Intel's Broadwell-E CPUs have just been leaked, revealing that Intel is planning to release a 10-core 20-thread i7 CPU this generation. Better still is the fact that this CPU will be usable on currently available X99 motherboards.
These CPUs are now rumored to be launching at Computex 2016, which is in line with previous rumors that stated that they would release in the first half of next year.
The main changes of this CPU from previous generation Extreme series CPUs is that it's flagship will have two extra CPU cores, a stronger memory controller and the higher power efficiency that Intel's Broadwell architecture and their 14nm manufacturing process provides.
Right now Broadwell E CPU are rumored to be released in the first half of 2016 and launch at the $1000 price point. The CPU is rumored to come at the same clock speed as the currently available intel i7 5960X, but with the small IPC improvements of Broadwell and the increased core count it should give users a 20% performance gain in highly threaded CPU loads.
These CPUs will be available in 6-core, 8-core and 10-core models and will come at a range of clock speeds.
Intel Readies a 5.1 GHz Xeon Chip Based on the "Broadwell" Architecture
Intel's first 5-gigahertz CPU will bear an unlikely brand - Xeon. The company's upcoming Xeon E5-2602 V4 quad-core chip based on the 14 nm "Broadwell-EP" silicon, is rumored to ship with a staggering 5.10 GHz clock speed out of the box. Getting there won't be easy for this socket LGA2011v3 chip. Despite being a quad-core chip, with just four out of eight cores on the "Broadwell-EP" silicon bring physically enabled, the chip's TDP is rated at 165W. Other features include 10 MB of L3 cache, and a quad-channel DDR4 memory interface.
Meh, uma FPGA mete esse cpu a um canto, e HFT é um dos usos de FPGA's de 10 mil € o chip, para quê um cpu x86 com um OS se podes ter os bots a falar directamente com a fibra?
O grande problema desses CPU's são as boards que são sempre muito específicas, formatos não standard e com poucas features de consumidor (portas sata, usb e slots pcie)
