Nonflagship models are only small improvements over HaswellE
More expensive than HaswellE at launch
>$1500 Flagship breaks new ground in consumer CPU pricing.
Extreme performance comes at an extreme price
Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 is significantly cheaper

Major thermal increase beyond 1.3V but expected given the 10-core configuration
“The Intel Core i7-6950X is capable of unbelievable multi-threaded per
Singlethreaded performance cannot match Skylake
Some applications aren't optimised for high core counts
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...
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...
Excellent feature set, Modern IO including M.2, U.2, Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 Type-C, High-end onboard audio and networking
Cramped layout, Expensive
Intel has coined a new marketing term, "megatasking", to describe situations that warrant having 10 cores and 20 threads. Not all software can take advantage of them, so Intel imagines users will do several things at once, such as playing a game, encoding...
In a nutshell, Ryzen 5's main advantage over Intel's Core i5 range is the higher number of cores and threads it offers while sharing the same price bracket. That's not unlike what AMD offers with its Ryzen 7 CPUs, all of which are 8-core/16-thread parts...

Si los 10 núcleos para un procesador de consumo suenan realmente bien, hemos visto en nuestras pruebas que a nivel de rendimiento también nos dejan una melodía que es capaz de tentarnos a dar un salto impresionante por cifras y resultados.El chip más pote...

Abstract: No son muchos los cambios que Intel ha introducido con Broadwell-E respecto a Haswell-E. Desde el punto de vista físico, la diferencia está sin duda, en el nuevo cambio de arquitectura desde los 22 hasta los 14 nm actuales de Broadwell-E. Pero ¿Éstas dif...

Core i7-6950X bate con suficiencia en cualquier parámetro al Core i7-5960X y encima lo hace con un menor consumo, muestra de las mejoras de Broadwell-E frente a Haswell-E. Rendimiento fantástico que se ve penalizado por un precio descomunal, fuera de m...

Abstract: Los nuevos procesadores de Intel incorporan ligeras en cuanto a velocidad de proceso, como en los últimos cambios de arquitectura en otras familias de producto, pero la inclusión de dos núcleos más, con un total de 20 hilos de proceso , marcan una diferen...
Abstract: Parece que los grandes nombres de la tecnología han comenzado a apretar el paso, quizá porque llevaban mucho tiempo sin presentar novedades, quizá por la presión de eventos próximos como el Computex 2016. Sea como sea, Intel, casi de forma repentina (aunq...
