So when is the 14nm stuff coming out?

It may never, to be perfectly honest. 10nm is certainly very much in question right now.

Picked up the CM Glacer 240L, fiddled with it a bit to reverse the direction of the fans to allow me to maintain positive air pressure. Played around with the OC, and this is what I settled on:



Cranking it up to 4.8 required a whole lot more voltage, which was something I wasn't willing to accept for daily use (especially since SpeedStep just does not work on this board apparently, even after I updated the BIOS and completely reset it to default settings). Even at this, under full load it gets a bit louder than I'd like (the fan control options on this board leaves something to be desired as well, and PWM control on pump speed does nothing and it stays at the max 3500RPM all the time).

Whatever, it's good enough to tide me over to Haswell-E at the very least.

Source? Intel has roadmapped both Broadwell and (some) Skylake for 2015 which are both 14nm parts.

Since I live like 10,000 miles from a Microcenter I don't really get the big hoo-ha about the Pentium AE since even when paired a cheapest Z87/97 board, the B85 + i5 4590 that costs only a mere 20% more crushes it relevant real world benchmarks. Far less priceworthy than the $180 E6300 Conroes IMO.

The Microcenter deal *is* why it's such a great deal - that i5-4590 is $199 by itself on Newegg, or double the cost of the whole bundle.

Otherwise, yes, it's not a fantastic deal since it needs a Z87/97 board - just get an i3 instead.

For a few days there you could score the same deal for about $130 on Newegg too which honestly would be worth it if you had some use for it. I mean it is retarded fast for what you get, in its own way

That is what I eventually settled on too. Did you notice how above 1.30 vcore the voltage would spike in both directions every few seconds by huge amounts? I think the mobo is "holding" it back but ... who cares really at the cost.

I didn't have any fan or speed step issue though for sure though. Might be worth exchanging if you care about those

Additionally, IBM is pouring $3 billion into 7nm research. Cannonlake (10nm) is scheduled for 2016 and in their 2013 Keynote Intel planned 7nm parts for 2017.

Maybe we'll have 450mm platters by then as well. along with rainbows and unicorns

TSMC's new 20nm planar process is not as good as Intel's highly mature 22nm FinFET process, much less the upcoming Intel 14nm FinFET process. Keep in mind that even pessimistic projections have Intel's 14nm mobile processors in the hands of consumers by the end of the year, and TSMC won't be close to catching up until their 16nm FinFET process, so Intel is almost a full process cycle ahead.

With the important caveat at the end

quote:

Many people in the industry, who have watched showstopper after showstopper crop up only to be bypassed by a new development, are reluctant to put a hard date on Moore’s Law’s demise. “Every generation, there are people who will say we’re coming to the end of the shrink,” says ASML’s Arnold, and in “every generation various improvements do come about. I haven’t seen the end of the road map.”

You can pull up articles from the 90's all the way through today that predict the demise of Moore's law at [current date] plus five years (tops!). And smartypants engineers figure it out every time. The end of process shrinking cadence of 18-24 months will probably come, but I don't think it will be soon.

However, EUV patterning with any kind of good yield and volume (as far as I know) is still a HUGE question mark right now. At least it was a year ago when I did a lot of reading about it.

Nope, it's just a default speed limit so if your motherboard supports setting non-default speeds (like any board you might buy) you are unaffected. Well, technically you're overclocking so I suppose you might get unlucky and get a CPU with a bum memory controller, but I doubt it.

Sure, if the market success is entirely ALL about process nodes which clearly isn't. As Intel as much as they like to harp about their process advantages and CPU performance, there is no question that the general consumer chip market has been trending towards <$20 Apple in-house and Qualcomm SoCs, the former having absolute 100% control over chip design and the latter with the best in class modem designs as key advantages over Intel, while both also has more than the enough performance for their target market.

Another overlooked about Intel's strategy of aggressive process size reduction and CPU improvements for the past few years has already backfired by having no choice but to provide the PC market with TOO much CPU power in order to sell chips. A $50 SB Pentium chip 3 years ago still is now vastly overkill to 90% of the PC population. If a 2500K gamer doesn't want a Haswell upgrade, why would the average consumer even care, just to save another 10W of power consumption?

Not disagreeing with your point, but I was under the impression that some 2500k gamers didn't want Haswell upgrades ostensibly because they weren't fast enough to merit throwing more money at a new high-end motherboard and CPU. This almost reinforces your post, since it's Intel's ballgame to play regardless on development decisions.

I think you're missing the forest for the trees here. Intel had product wins for their Medfield smartphone processors despite the fact that they were garbage, merely because their process technology (32nm at the time) was so compellingly better than the competition. Bay Trail has also found success despite being significantly behind competing ARM-based SoCs, again because Intel's 22nm process allows so much better frequency/voltage scaling, which kind of fixes a lovely architecture through brute force.

It certainly looks plausible; it follows the same basic Xeon pricing structure and matches core growth we saw SB->IB. The top-end 16/18 core parts probably look similar to the 2695/2697 v2s.

None that we know of, but LGA 2011-2 is most definitely a thing, and worse things have happened as a result of process change before, I'm sure.
