So it's quick, then. The question is, do you really need all of those extra cores? If it's the very best performance that you want, and damn the cost, the answer has to be yes.Broadwell-E, at least in the form of the ten-core Core i7-6950X I've looked at...
If you're clued up about the current state of affairs as you leave the realms of quad-core CPUs then you'll no doubt realise that in some ways there are diminishing returns as you add more cores. In fact, some performance benchmarks get slower as the effe...

Classleading multithreaded performance, Refreshed motherboards available, Improved power consumption over previousgen
Singlethreaded performance cannot match Skylake, Some applications aren't optimised for high core counts
Initial performance and overclocking results from the Broadwell i7 5775C and i5 5675C processors back in 2015 suggested the Broadwell architecture wouldn't clock as high as Haswell equivalents and this has mostly panned out to be accurate with Intel's Bro...
Extreme Performance, Mature Motherboard Platform, DDR4 is now a mainstream memory standard, Simple, flexible overclocking via BCLK and/or Multiplier, Will reward enthusiast overclockers, Flagship model pushes the boundaries of the High End Desktop capabil
Nonflagship models are only small improvements over HaswellE, More expensive than HaswellE at launch, >$1500 Flagship breaks new ground in consumer CPU pricing.
Abstract: Is Broadwell more attractive to enthusiasts without graphics and up to 10 Hyper-Threaded cores? We test against two previous generations, plus Skylake to find out.Intel launched its sixth-gen Core architecture, code-named Skylake, last August. That design...
Abstract: I'm going to start this article off with a simple number: five. Not only is that the number of months it has taken AMD to effectively turn the x86 processor world on its ear, but that's also the number of distinct model families that they've introduced...
Looking back at how things played out over the course of this review, I have no doubt it will be one of the most hotly debated articles that Ive written in the last few months, maybe even the last year. Theres no denying that the Zen architecture has pr...
