Intel Core i7-3930K And Core i7-3820: Sandy Bridge-E, Cheaper

[Guest]

I am intrested in building a machine with a Intel Core i7-3930K

I'd like some of this, and free wouldn't suck.

SNB-E looks like a great platform all around and the X79 chipset will support IVB-E next year as well. Hopefully they will come with the full 8 cores unlocked which I am sure they will. Can't wait.

The speed of i7 has reached the point where even 20% gain in benchmark doesn't mean anything anymore.

So why the hell would anyone get the i7-3930K when you can get i7-3820 for $300 cheaper to buy more ram. This article is nothing but sales pitch for noobs who doesn't know how to use their money effectively.

I hope AMD can make a comeback, these processors are expensive

It would seem that speed and power are relative to the individuals requirement so, when looking for a home/office system the average user would look for a mid-line processor for both cost and reliability, however, most of us should be looking for processors like the POWER7. Now if we push the demand in this direction...suppliers will be forced to price accordingly. Remember Supply & Demand.

Intel shot themselves in the foot by releasing Sandy E 6 months too late (and plan to shoot other foot with IVY E), no matter how hard anyone tries to rationalize otherwise.

Most that have Sandy, Sandy E is not an upgrade, losing in $$$ and efficiency and gaining 2 more cores only useful to benchers. And who wants to update from i7-9x0, when IVY is coming out ONLY to the performance track. Oh wait, I could pay 2-3X cost for the opportunity to get IVY E SIX months after IVY was already out...wtf is intel thinking.

If they want to sell enthusiast platforms again, release new tech first to enthusiast or at least at same time. Releasing it after, I just cant rationalize paying double for old technology.
