Intel Broadwell-E
Intel Core i7-6950X (10C/20T)
The flagship part of the Broadwell-E lineup is ofcourse the Core i7 6950X and it will be replacing the older Core i7 5960X. The processor rocks 10 Broadwell based cores with 20 threads on the 14nm node. It will feature a TDP of 140W and require the LGA 2011v3 socket from Intel. It will have a massive cache size of 25 Megabytes, roughly 2.5 MBs per core. The base clock will be 3.0 Ghz and can turbo up to a solid 3.5 Ghz. It features a 4 Channel Integrated memory Controller and will support DDR4 Memory up to 2400 Mhz (configurable to 2133Mhz). The expected MSRP would be around the $999 mark.
Intel Core i7-6900K (8C/16T)
The Intel Core i7 6900K will be replacing the Core i7 5930K – and features 8 cores with 16 threads. The TDP remains at 140W with the socket being LGA 2011 v3. The base clock of the processor is 3.2 Ghz with the turbo clock being 3.7 Ghz. The processor has a cache size of 20 MBs for roughly 2.5 MBs per core. DDR4 memory up to 2400 Mhz will be supported and the IMC can be configured down to 2133 Mhz. Expected MSRP is around the $650 mark.
Intel Core i7-6850K (6C/12T)
The Intel Core i7-6850K will be replacing the Core i7 5820K and features 6 Cores/12 Threads. It has a TDP of 140W and requires the socket LGA 2011v3. The base clock is 3.6 Ghz and can turbo up to 3.8 Ghz. With a cache size of 15MB you are looking at (once again) 2.5MB per core. The IMC can be configured between 2133 Mhz and 2400 Mhz. The expected MSRP should be below the $550 mark.
Intel Core i7-6800K (6C/12T)
Finally, we have the Core i7-6800K, which can arguably be considered the new addition to the family. This processor aims to put a hexacore in the hands of the average PC user. The MSRP of this processor will probably be less than the $450 mark, making it just affordable for the average user in this market spectrum (keep in mind that this IS the high end segment). It has a cache size of 15MB with 2.5MBs per core but has a lower base clock of 3.4 Ghz (turbo up to 3.6 Ghz).

I knew that price of 8 core will drop because small number of people will be interest for that processor.
Most of people will use cheaper 6 cores variant just as improvement over 4 cores and rest of people with deeper pocket will want top Processor 10 Cores. That leave 8 core expensive, with lower frequency but again not premium product.
And price of 600-650$ is same as I meantion on other forum before few days. That was only logic price for that processor.
Only is not fair one processor with only 200MHz high Turbo clock and other with 500MHz.
i7-6850K should work on 4.0GHz Turbo clock with 3.6GHz base. That could be one really nice Processor.

I'm thinking that Intel will do the same thing they did with Haswell-E and give the 6900-series 40 PCI-e lanes and the 6800-series 28 PCI-e lanes. For those that want 40 lanes, but don't want to splurge on the highest end processor, the 8-core will be an option.
I'm interested in hearing if the 6950X goes to MCC now with 10 cores.

That would mean it would have a sizeable bump in die-area, meaning a lot more silicon is used to create them and a lower number of chips-per-waffer. I'm not sure if that would come in at the $999 price point then...but we'll have to wait and see. Perhaps Intel has some sort of way to increase the number of cores on the ring bus without detrimentally affecting the inter-core communications latency.

People who missed i7-5960X could buy later i7-5960X used for 450$ or new i7-6900K for 650$.
If they want 8 core.
For me is interesting this i7-6850K, because 40 lanes and higher frequency probably will be best gaming option.
Only is not fair from Intel side to give 200MHz Turbo to some processors and 500 to others.
But never mind anyway people will overclock manual.
i7-6950X on 4.0GHz will give insane results, with 10 cores.
I read some news for 2017 Intel will maybe launch six channel memory per CPU for Xeon and Xtreme platform.

I think we will see some boards from ASUS for Broadwell-E. 🙂
I will probably forever to buy Rampage Series, only maybe Gene with Skylake-E.
I like smaller powerfull RIGs, but smaller than Gene... very hard. No.

Rampage III Black and Rampage IV Black are best ASUS boards, but it's very bad thing if customer should enjoyl last 10 months in some chipset with them. Compare to people who bought first version who use chipset more than 3 years.
That mean you should wait almost end of platform before upgrade.
On beginning I had plan to build X99 with Rampage board only black version for few years, than I remember when they launch III Black and IV Black motherboards. In that period owners of previous version save money for new socket completely.
Maybe was time to ASUS change that with X99. If they want board for Broadwell-EP they have option for Formula, Gene,...
