Don't take too much from these knock-off Chinese website , if I were you I won't believe any so-called leak from VR-Zone China.

In reply to Anonymous. Haswell-E at least offers an
Haswell-E at least offers an incremental upgrade over 4770k/4790k if you were buying a new system. for about $150 CPU/MB (+100 for RAM difference for now) more than a 4790k setup you can go with a 5820k 6-core, >2x the memory bandwidth, and also gain 8 more PCI-e lanes on the CPU. I'd argue this is the first 'reasonable' enthusiast platform upgrade since the X58/original core i7's.. Skylake-E brings PCI-E 4.0, and by then DDR4 should be parity with DDR3, and should either throw out DMI or upgrade that to a faster spec, so that's also worth watching.

Intel's limiting PCIE lanes
Intel's limiting PCIE lanes was a "business" decision meaning we want to take as much of your money as we can because we have no competition.

The 1 stick per channel
The 1 stick per channel probably statement is probably at 2400 MHz. ie. it relates to clock driving strength. At lower speeds it probably goes to 2 and 3 per channel, the same as haswell-e. see http://www.anandtech.com/show/8584/intel-xeon-e5-2687w-v3-and-e5-2650-v3-review-haswell-ep-with-10-cores

In reply to Randal_46. I would say it's guaranteed
I would say it's guaranteed to effect Skylake, at least in the Enthusiast market, but on the other tiers it's not likely. Because of 14nm, Broadwell being delayed (intentionally by Intel according to some), Skylake will be a rapid succession release of the Tick-Tock where Broadwell is supposed to focus more on the low-end, low power market. I do agree, the Enthusiast market is becoming a joke. Locking the 8 core variant to $999 and nipping PCIe lanes is a joke.

I have the Asus x99 deluxe and i'm curious what 5 sticks would do aswell

Will this delay the rollout

Intel has made it obviously
Intel has made it obviously clear they do NOT care about Enthusiasts, leaving us 2 generations behind in 2016…they should scrap the whole HEDT lineup….

HEDT is a running joke and has been since they launced Ivy-E, I know for a fact Ryan has voiced the our concerns…they just don’t care….

They have to be afraid of cannibalising from high end(xeon) and low end(4 core) its ridic, they don’t know which way is up anymore.

Intel is going to segmentize themselves into a f’n corner.

It will be 8GB and 16GB per sticks of memory. Now 4 sticks won't be too bad.

Lame. At this modest
Lame. At this modest improvement rate it's going to take 10 years before we'll have the CPU horsepower to encode 4K using H.265. It's bad enough they delayed Ivy Bridge to the point of irrelevance. Now they're doing the same with Broadwell, which minus the iGPU part is already a trash product across the board.

I'll be surprised if they aren't going to limit it the amount of PCI-E like they are doing the current generation of E processors. Unless it was an architecture limitation or binning issue they appear to want to differentiate their E product line like how you can get VT-d on E parts but not on the 4770K.
