Intel Core i7 "Ivy Bridge-E" and Core i3 "Haswell" Series Detailed

[robj20]

4930k for my next build I think. Got my eyes on the EVGA Dark as well.

^I'd wait for reviews on the dark before buying, the current line of evga x79 boards were nothing short of a disaster.

Hopefully they've sorted it as I like the look of the dark my self.

Yes i know about that issue, if not im sure Asus will have a new board soon.
Im looking forward to six core goodness.

Four figured sum for the top of the range one! This hobby just gets more expensive.

I hope the 4960x offers a bit more performance than the 4930k this time round.

My 3930k kicks sand in the faces of both my 3960x and 3970x, twice the price for less performance I am sure it's not supposed to work that way.

It would be nice to see a Rampage V Extreme.

Yes

What is also interesting is that X58 got three different Rampage Extreme boards, the RIIE, RIIIE and the black edition. So far all we have had for X79 is the RIVE.

The 3970X cost >$1000 too.

Great to see the X79 platform has plenty of life left in it, glad I bought the RIVF now.

I can't help thinking buyers of the 3970x are still reeling from that one.

It's hard to comprehend that the socket 2011 platform is nearing its two year life span now. It feels like I just upgraded to it yesterday - still lots of life in it, and that makes me pretty happy with the larger investment back then

The only thing a bit more expensive for me was the x79 mobo. The chip wasn't all that dear IMO.
