amazon Intel Core i7-5930K reviews
Not only is the upgrade of Ivy Bridge-E, the i7-5930K is one of the chips that represent the new platform with the X99 Express chipset motherboard and supports DDR4 memory with twice the bandwidth of DDR3.
Design
The Intel Core i7-5930K is part of the recently launched Intel Haswell-E trio, designed to drive users in need of a superior performance system. In addition to the mid-range Core i7-5930K (3.5GHz, 15MB smart cache) and Core i7-5820K (3.3GHz, 15MB smart cache), the company also unveils its flagship Core i7- The 5960X (3.0 GHz, 20 MB smart cache) replaces the Ivy Bridge-E version of the i7-4960X.
Basically, the Haswell-E chip is still based on Haswell microarchitecture with Tri-Gate transistor technology and 22 nm manufacturing process, similar to the Core i7-4770K and Core i7-4790K Test Lab has introduced to readers. The number of transistors of Haswell-E reached 2.6 billion, while the size of the die size increased to 356 mm2, compared with Ivy Bridge-E i7-4960X is 1.86 billion sold and base size 257 mm2.
The three Haswell-E chips are based on the same LGA2011-v3 socket and have a 140W power consumption (TDP). In addition, the Core i7-5960X is a processor with up to eight physical cores. For Intel’s personal computing platform and support for hyper threading, it can handle up to 16 simultaneous streams while the Core i7-5930K and Core i7-5820K have only six cores and 12 threads. .
The biggest difference is that the Core i7-5960X and Core i7-5930K have up to 40 PCI Express 3.0 routes for direct communication between CPU and discrete graphics while 5820K PCI Express 3.0 slots are reduced to 28. . So with a hardware configuration using the 5820K chipset, it supports only configuring multiple 3-way SLI or 3-way CrossFire graphics with up to 16x – 16x – 8x bandwidth.
The fact that the reduction of the number of PCI Express 3.0 lanes of the 5820K will not affect the overall graphics performance and overall performance of the system because most applications and even 4K resolution game is not yet Take full advantage of the bandwidth of 28 PCI Express lanes.

New chip, new platform
As mentioned above, besides the Haswell-E processor, Intel also launched the new X99 Express motherboard chipset (codenamed Wellsburg). Basically, the LGA2011-v3 socket-based Haswell-E design is not backwards compatible with the LGA2011 socket of Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E. Specifically, the Haswell-E Core i7-5930K will not run on the X79 Express Chipset motherboard and vice versa. The Ivy Bridge-E as the 4960X will not even run on the new X99 Express Chipset motherboard.
Also note that since the P55 Express chipset onwards, Intel has no longer used two North Bridge and South Bridge alone, but instead is a single chip called the PCH (Platform Controller Hub). The PCH feature is similar to the South Bridge, which manages all system connections such as PCI, PCIe, LAN, SATA, Sound, VGA.
The X99 Express chipset maintains four DMI 2.0 (Direct Media Interface) signals for communicating with the CPU and eight PCI Express 2.0 lanes for peripherals. A useful change for the user is that all SATA ports are 3.0 (6 Gbps) and the total number of USB chipsets supported is 14, including eight USB 2.0 and six USB ports. 3.0. Upgrading to SATA 3.0 support is a good thing, as users can configure complex RAID configurations (RAID 5, 10 …) entirely with SATA 3.0 connectivity. In addition to hardware upgrades, Intel also updated Rapid Storage Technology to version 13.1, incorporating Dynamic Storage Accelerator (DSA) technology to optimize the system’s storage capacity.
In addition, the Haswell-E platform also supports the new generation of DDR4 memory that is faster to access and uses energy more efficiently than current DDR3. According to the JEDEC specification, DDR4 has data transfer rates of up to 3.2 gigatransfers per second while DDR3 is 1.6 gigatransfers per second. Input voltage is 1.2V compared to 1.5V of DDR3 and clocked from 2,133 MHz to 3,200 MHz.
