And people go nuts over the thing...
Or, y'know. An i3. (Dual-core with HT)An overclockable 2C2T CPU at a time where OSes running applications and games often have enough threads flying around in the background to give 2C4T and 4C4T CPUs somewhat of a workout... might be a little late.
If Intel had really wanted to make their 20th Anniversary edition Pentiums super-special by making them at least somewhat relevant in the enthusiast market like they were 15-20 years ago, they should have enabled HT and sold them in the $120-150 range.
Something this cheap is just begging for a delid and Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra if it uses the same design as the other Haswells. My 4770K dropped almost 20°C with CLU under the IHS.all i can say is the heat spread better be soldered on there good. Hopefully something reaching 5GHZ on air and under 80W thermal....?
an unlocked i3 with HT would be nicer, but then of course they'd sell less i5's.
