Polaris 10 and 11 specifications unveiled

According to TechPowerUp, industry sources have informed some interesting specifications of the next two GPUs that AMD will launch the market, graphic Polaris 10 Polaris 11 , both based on the fourth generation of graphics architecture Graphics Core Next.

Polaris 10 and 11 specifications

Although this leak comes first hand from one of the most important sites worldwide hardware must catch it with tweezers, as always, for there is nothing confirmed by the manufacturer. According to report, and we already knew, AMD is preparing two GPUs, one for midrange and one for the so-called industry performance (not high-end, eye).

Ellesmere GPU performance will be the sector and will according to the source with 32 CUs (Compute Units) and not 40 as previously thought. Assuming that each CU has 64 Stream Processors, this gives us that AMD graphics Polaris “Ellesmere” will have 2048 Stream Processors, yet these graphs have a power of 5.5 TFlop / s according to AMD.

While Hawaii AMD graphics have a TDP of no less than 250 watts, the new chips will have as much a TDP of 150 watts, which would allow AMD to put a single power connector 8-pin, as it has done NVIDIA its new generation, and as it did already in the R9 Nano AMD. According to the source, these graphic Polaris will have 8GB of GDDR5 / GDDR5X memory with a 256-bit bus, something we already knew well.

The “small” Polaris chip as techpowerup says, the midrange is called Baffin (as I have explained above). In this case count, according to the source, with only 14 CUs, ie, 896 Stream Processors nothing else. It would be the successor chip Tobago (Radeon R7 360) and a similar performance to R9 380 is expected, more or less. The good part of these graphs is that in theory will have a TDP of only 50 watts and will not need additional power connector.

Core i7-7700K specs leaked

Core i7-7700K specs were leaked. Through the database software benchmarks SiSoft SANDRA has leaked what will be the next processor Intel “Kaby Lake” Core i7-7700K , a processor of four cores and eight threads of a process that will form the top end of the processors “normal” desktop (not extreme) Intel for its next generation.

Core i7-7700K specs

Just just landed on the market the sixth generation of Intel Core processors and the company has already prepared the seventh generation, named Kaby Lake. The Intel Core i7-7700K is the flagship of this ship for its range of desktop, and so we can see in the database SiSoft SANDRA it is a quad-core processor with hyperthreading (eight processing threads) will work base to 3.6 Ghz and 4.2 Ghz will reach in Turbo Boost mode.

When compared with the current Core i7-6700K, operating at 4 GHz base and 4.2 GHz in Turbo mode, in principle we found no gain but quite the opposite, but be aware that the model that has appeared in this 7700K database is certainly an engineering sample just like the Intel Core i7 6950x that went on sale on Ebay and was an engineering sample as well.

BMI of i7-7700K work at 4 GHz, and integrated graphics core will have 24 execution units, like the current Skylake-D. The cache configuration would also be the same, with 256 KB L2 per core memory and 8 MB shared L3 memory. The “Kaby Lake” chip will be manufactured, also with the process 14 nanometer Intel, and logically because the data are quite similar to the current generation is to understand that the improvement will be in energy efficiency (we face a processor Core i7 with only 65W TDP?).

In any case, it seems logical to think that Kaby Lake use the same Intel LGA1151 socket that Skylake, and in theory be compatible with the 100 series of chipsets if we stick to the tick-tock process that Intel has been following many generations already. However, it is expected that the 200 series of chipsets accompany the launch of Kaby Lake when it occurs.

Core i7 6950X on sale for $ 1950

Core i7 6950X price

As usual, Intel has distributed its engineering samples between partners and means to enable them start with the relevant evidence in each case. But it seems now has an unconventional situation is that one of these partners or media has not respected the agreement with Intel and has put on sale on Ebay an engineering sample of a Intel Core i7-6950X ” Broadwell-E ” processor to the tune of $ 1950.

I’ll be completely honest, from the point of view of a media: as you know manufacturers often send us samples of their products to perform analysis, and if the product has a moderate cost, often it can be us for our personal use or testing laboratory. It is very unusual, not to say that this only happens to a few privileged, the manufacturer will yield an engineering sample that has a crazy price as is the case now concerns us. Of course there are people who do this for doing business but this, in my view, beyond all limits because as I mentioned earlier there is a confidentiality agreement by which has not been respected.

Core i7 6950X review

The Intel Core i7-6950X that is for sale is a processor 10 cores and 20 threads of process based on the Broadwell-E 14 nanometer architecture that is yet to be announced officially.It is compatible with Intel socket LGA 2011v3 (X99 chipset) and has a TDP of 140 watts.They are attached in the advertisement placed on Ebay high resolution images that leave no doubt that the product is authentic.

As you can see in the ad, who lives in the US has the processor, and charges an additional $ 50 for shipping costs shipping to anywhere in the world. So, if you want to have this processor before anybody else and you can spare $ 2,000 for nothing, now you have a good chance. However, it falls discounted according to the policy say that Intel engineering samples belong to the company regardless of any other situation, so in theory this sale would be unlawful.
