Broadwell-E has landed. Intel has finally launched its first consumer 10-core 20-thread microprocessor, aimed at content creators and those who really need that extra horsepower two extra cores can provide. Broadwell-E isn't just a core addition; it also...
The 6950X is pretty much what we expected. Broadwell only really launched in the consumer arena as a quad-core CPU loaded with Iris Pro graphics, and cost an arm and a leg. The 6950X is pretty much the 5775C of the X99 platform - its cost is very high, b...

The latest architecture from Intel, “Skylake” has been with us since August 2015 on the mainstream platform but HEDT users have had to “make do” with Haswell-E since August 2014. Today Intel reduces the architectural gap back to 1 generation with Broadwe...

Initial performance and overclocking results from the Broadwell i7 5775C and i5 5675C processors back in 2015 suggested the Broadwell architecture wouldn't clock as high as Haswell equivalents and this has mostly panned out to be accurate with Intel's Bro...

So it's quick, then. The question is, do you really need all of those extra cores? If it's the very best performance that you want, and damn the cost, the answer has to be yes.Broadwell-E, at least in the form of the ten-core Core i7-6950X I've looked at...

Monstrous. Brawny. Or in the parlance of our times: OP for "overpowered." All are apt terms for Intel's new 10-core Core i7-6950X, a muscular CPU so over-the-top in power, that you'd have to be crazy to need one.But Intel's Extreme Edition CPUs have never...
First, I'll sum up the performance aspects of the 10-core Broadwell-E by saying, damn, it's a freaking monster. In multi-threaded tasks it easily thrashes the 8-core Haswell-E and combined with per core overclocking and Turbo Boost Max 3.0, it can hang wi...

If you're clued up about the current state of affairs as you leave the realms of quad-core CPUs then you'll no doubt realise that in some ways there are diminishing returns as you add more cores. In fact, some performance benchmarks get slower as the effe...

When Intel stepped up to the plate with an 8-core Extreme Edition processor, the thought of even more cores was far off the radar, as the Core i7 5960X was the highest performing chip on the market bar none. As I saw with the Core i7 5960X, when you can b...
