I'v been waiting to upgrade my Qx9650 to something better for a while now.
I thought I would hold out for Ivy Bridge which is what im currently doing.
However I am dissapointed that the cpu is still only 4 cores (the 3750k which is what I'd get)
Such a shame that BD performs poorly or I would have jumped all over that simply becuase it has 8 cores.
So then we get to Haswell.
I noticed here it mentions that Haswell will scale up to 8 cores, but will this be for consumer products, and at affordable price points ie around the £200 price point.? (Doubt it)
Is it worth waiting for? Is it due in 2013?
I guess as this computer is mainly aimed at games the most important thing is the gpu.
