intel has launched their new enthusiast platform this means that haswell-e socket 2011 - three CPUs x99 motherboards and ddr4 memory are now available to the public this video is about the CPUs and I will casually suggest that if you liked this video or if you find it helpful you should like it and also check out my memory and motherboard videos for more information about these new parts and how they work in the desktop computer and whether or not you should consider buying them in the first place so what is intel's enthusiast platform anyway it is a halo platform it is meant to be the top of the range the best of the best and a duteous hardware from Intel always gives you their most powerful CPUs better than dual channel memory support triple or quad the most expandability it's also usually the most expensive of their consumer options it is meant for gaming it's meant for overclocking and it's meant for content creation it does a great job of all of these things but if you're strictly looking for a gaming system or simple web browsing enthusiast is really way overkill so check out in still intel's mainstream platform instead which is currently based on socket 1150 motherboards with these e97 chipset the best thing about intel's enthusiast platform in my opinion is its longevity whereas the mainstream Intel platform is usually renewed every year or year and a half enthusiasts can actually last three or four years before it's supplanted by newer Hardware case-in-point folks who invested in an X 79 system back in 2011 still had arguably the most powerful platform in 2014 at least up until yesterday haswell-e CPUs I guess we can call them Intel Core i7 but I think that just confuses things they're using the new 22 nanometer Haswell architecture but it's a way way bigger CPU die than mainstream has well or the Haswell refresh LGA 2011 - 3 is the socket and maintains the same at 2011 contacts but physically it is incompatible with x79 socket 2011 motherboards the sockets CPU cooler mounting system though remains the same so it does still have that glorious built-in backplate and at you can carry over your favorite cooler from your previous build the CPU is having 140 watt TDP they're compatible with x99 chipset motherboards and all have support for quad-channel ddr4 memory Intel standards like turbo boost and hyper threading are also still available three CPUs are available at lunch as you can see here they're all K parts which means they are multiplier unlocked for your overclocking pleasure the 5820k is the most affordable and it comes in at a mere $400 feature six cores 12 threads a 15 megabyte cache 3.3 gigahertz base clock and 3.6 gigahertz turbo boost it has 28 PCI Express gen3 lanes and that's less than the other two more expensive CPUs but that still means it has more than the 16 lanes then a mainstream 4790k would offer you for example and still enough for most to weigh in 3 Way GPU configurations the 59 30 K is the bang for your buck CPU at five hundred and ninety dollars and although it still features six cores 12 threads and a 15 megabyte cache it has a bumped up base clock of 3.5 gigahertz and a 3.7 gigahertz turbo also a full complement of 40 PCI Express gen3 links the 59 60 X is the Big Daddy the extreme edition and also the costliest at 1050 dollars you got to pay to play this time around because only the Extreme Edition features 8 cores and 16 threads its Intel's first Nanjiani octo-core you also get a huge 20 megabyte cache and a somewhat dialed down frequency of 3 gigahertz base and 3.5 gigahertz turbo it is after all on 8 core but don't worry it's an extreme edition so it is overclockable and you still get 40 PCI Express gen3 lanes so there it is new and powerful CPUs that you can use to do computer stuff I found Intel's decisions about what to include and what not to include in each processor at the entry mid and high end of the spectrum to be interesting it certainly makes the Extreme Edition a much more compelling option being the only 8 core but I've also heard some grumbles about the only 28 PCI Express lanes on the 5820k but honestly with 3-way support already taking care of is that really that much of an issue what do you guys think let me know in the comment section down below like and share the video if you enjoyed it check out my memory and motherboard videos as well check out Kyle's channel for a full extent and I'm build and as always thank you for watching
