The Rampage IV Extreme is one of the best if not the best mobo for getting the most out of a 3930k. I use the RIVE myself and for overclocking its as good as it gets.
 
What kind of price are we talking here for the release of IB-E 6 core and 8 core?

similar to the SB-E release, what was the cost of the 3930k on release?

Tempted to just buy a 3930k now at around £350 now etc...
 
3930K irc was £600 so IB-E 6 core will probably be around the same with a 8 core pushing £900-1000.
 
Whatever is top of the pile for intel at any given time they normally charge around £800 for, I can not see them changing that.

As for the 3980x they have been making them for a year now ie the 3960/70x with 2 cores turned off. Its not like intel are going too have to do much different apart from turning on the 2 extra cores.

As for the road map I would not take that seriously, what is the point of having both the 3960x and 3970x on there, they are the same thing. At least they are in my PCs indentical performance right down to the last mhz when oced.

I can see the 3960/70x both being delisted when the 3980x launches and intel carring on with the 3930k as is.

Edit iirc the 3930k price wise has never moved much since launch, it has always been around the £450 mark.

Will make no difference to what they charge since as per normal it'll be a premium product.
 
There's an interesting thing to note here, SB-E was no faster than SB clock for clock so it is reasonable to assume that IB-E will be no faster than IB clock for clock, given that haswell is going to be faster per clock than IB its should then be faster than IB-E too. My point here is that compared to IB-E Haswell will offer higher per clock performance, an iGPU than in its top form can keep up with a GT650m, and more but not quad channel ram.

I know im stating the obvious there, but. The road map shows the i7 3820 being replaced, but the is no mention of a quad core 4920 IB-E, which makes sense as nobody buys 2011 i7's to keep them at stock clocks and the OCing performance of a 4920 would barely beat a 3820 not to mention it would be outclassed by the 4770K.

So, whats the chances of the 4930K being the entry level IB-E chip and being priced accordingly? :P
 
Also Haswell would be introducing AVX2 instructions set doubling the SIMD register size from 128Bit (currently Sandy/Ivy) to 256bit plus other additional features.
 
There is no doubt core for core and clock for clock haswell will be faster but it won't have as many cores, which has always been the main benefit of the 2011s.
