3.) I'm betting this board has nearly no overclocking capabilities. Besides, it only has 2 x16 slots, not even 2.0 x16. It has 16 memory slots. Why would an enthusiast want that? For 64 Jiggabytes of RAM?
4.) Why would a person looking for 'performance and usability' want more cores? You yourself claimed that it 'makes no sense for almost any app most people here use.' so more cores doesn't help according to your theory.
5.) Games are progressing towards higher end physics etc. More cores, ex. 8 cores, would be beneficial. 16 cores with your system might not be beneficial due to diminishing marginal returns.
6.) I could go on to prove how inherently flawed your claims are but...
I'm pretty sure you missed the point of his post which was "none of us need this ....but if you actually do this one is available now"
