Yah enterprise Dual QPI CPU's are more expensive. I'm talking about workstation CPU's. The W series are sold at a slight premium to desktop counterparts and are technically for a whole other customer. I was hoping they would cater to these customers so us overclockers could get in a little cheaper. I guess intel caught on when W3540 and W3570 was king for a bit there.
