Hello!

i have heard that haswell-e comes around second half of 2014. is it worth to wait for it?. money is not a factor. i am kinda intrested how it is to use the first 8 core intel deskop CPU. well i gonna gaming/ editing most of the time.


So shoud i wait for haswell-e and grap one then?. i am patient so i can wait if most of u folks say that i shoud wait.
 
server processors work the exact same in a desktop, they are made better so they can run 24/7 and have larger caches, that's difference and they dont change performance really in desktop scenarios unless they improve them thanks to larger caches

What i ahve heard that server CPUs is for holdign servers liek bf3 servers and not recommended for a home pc to like play games.

and not only server CPus can run 24/7. desktop CPus wotn crash after 24 hours
 
Neither of them are supposed to crash...

They have different purposes. It's not like they can't do the other chips job, but they are designed to to specific types of tasks. You don't use high end Xeon processors for gaming just like you don't build server racks with i3s. It's not what they were built for.

well i gonna wait for haswell-e

its waste of money to buy a xeon even if i can afford it.

i am sure haswell-e will cost less then the 8 core socket 2011 xeons.

thet cost like 1700 euro, haswell-e i am pretty sure will cost like 800-1100 euro

^Yes, probably. Although you might be waiting a while, like until late 2014; Ivy Bridge-e still hasn't come out yet, and that's set for later this year.
 
To actually answer your question...

Haswell-e is what I am waiting for. DDR4 support along with a lot of PCIE lanes. I'd say it's worth it for the DDR4 support, since if you don't wait, you'll be stuck on DDR3.
 
I always say buy when you want a new machine a year is a long time to wait and a long time in technology by the time haswell-e comes there will be something else on the horizon.

It is always the case no matter when you decide to buy or build a new machine shortly after a new version will come out.

If you build a good high standard machine you will never have trouble selling it, I just sold my last machine and with the spec and price of it, i thought i was going to be in for a long wait how wrong was i, sold in less than 24 hours with calls flooding in.

I would say build a good system now and see how the landscape is when haswell-e comes out there maybe something else worth waiting for, if not sell your machine and buy haswell-e

What will you be using the computer for? Once you get to Sandy Bridge-e levels of performance, you really won't notice a difference in the vast majority of applications.
 
ive been on SB-E for a year so far and its been rather good...ivy it will be slightly better, if you are willing to wait i bet the 6 core Ivy Bridge-E chips will be fine for you.

I think you have answered your own question. You know what you want. After all, it is your money. While processors exist that may suit your needs. If there is another worth waiting for, and you want it, by all means wait.
