Looking at the 6900K in comparison to the best CPU of the last generation, the i7-5960X it is hard not to be impressed. The new Broadwell-E range slots into existing socket 2011-3 systems, as well as all the boards we have seen launched over the last few...

Pre-release Cinebench and Blender benchmarks showing Ryzen ahead of Core i7-6900K gave enthusiasts hope they'd have a cheaper alternative to Intel's brawny Broadwell-E-based CPUs. And while it's fair to say the Ryzen launch went well for AMD in comparison...

How many processing cores can you convince yourself that you need? If the answer is a resolute “all of them,” then be prepared to spend a whole lot of money. Intel's current top-end Broadwell-E chip, the Core i7-6950K , packs 10 cores and can handle up to...

We always knew we'd be seeing Broadwell again, though. There's a fairly predictable lag between when Intel rolls out a new architecture and when the design is adapted for server/workstation use. So, when we got our hands on Xeon E5-2600 v4 , based on Broa...
