Intel LGA 2011 roadmap : Affordable SNB-E and no LGA 1356

[Movieman]

But you pay 3x times more for CPU alone just to get ~19.5% more

I know, I know, BUT when your 80+ year old Mother wants a better system than the AMD 940( nice system) she had you get her the most powerfull system you can and damn the price!
Oh yea, it's in a GB UD7 board too..

Gramps, we get it we get it no need for the heroic defence.
SB i5's and i7's never aspired as Top of the line, but in most cases they are as fast as the fastest and as cheap as the cheapest [ pun intended ]

Of course in our bussines where we fold or crunch anything with more cores and any GPU with more Steams will be better.

But I think Intel showed that even with a cheap clown you can make a hell of a circus.

I had myself a i7 975 and wen't for if 2500K. I don't weep for the lost performance, I rejoice for the halved power consumption , much lower temps and the same gaming FPS

It's the time of the year when companies make CPUs with more cores and is that time of year when Movieman gets a raging urge to OC and crunch the Saint Silicium God out of it.

I wonder why we don't call Sandies the GT 8800's of CPU Industry.

I agree for gamers but notice I said " for pure power"
In WCG my 2600K at 4634MHz does app 41,000PPD
My 80 year old Mothers 990x at 4154MHz does almost 49,000PPD..

You could have bought her 2 sandy bridge rigs for 82,000ppd.
