It should be faster than a stock 980X, otherwise it's a flop... It's been out for over a year, and there are a bunch more Intel chips coming in Q3-Q4.

lol. why does it have to be faster than 980x? so if VW releases a new golf 2 years after mercedes releases a SLK, the golf has to be faster than the SLK?
one word for you: price range.
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T@3.5GHz@Scythe Mugen 2 <-> ASRock 970 Extreme4 <-> 8GB DDR3-1333 <-> Sapphire HD7870@1100/1300 <-> Samsung F3 <-> Win8.1 x64 <-> Acer Slim Line S243HL <-> BQT E9-CM 480W
Car analogies = instant fail.
That's two words. I'll reply with two words as well: "lagging behind".
They manage to catch up just to get stomped by IB in mid range (possibly partially SB as well, it beats 980X in quite a few cases) and SB-E in top range.
So much for the BD hype and all those long years of waiting and development.

no. im german, born in stuttgart (the cars was invented there, its home of mercedes & porsche) and living in munich (bmw). so car analogies = the best thing ever. everyone knows cars, so its easy to understand.
no, BD wont lagg behind. it depends what u r doing with it. server will rock.

the example though is not really matching. no one would expect that a car changes enough in 2 years to beat something thats worth +5x the price. cpu depreciation is like 50% a year, for cars its like 10% (until a certain point it becomes a classic and then prices go up)
i dont disagree with car analogies, but the pricing method for both is way too different. lets imagine if the next corvette that came out somehow stripped its weight by 1000lbs and kept its 50k$ price tag, and was faster than any lamborghini, does that mean it will reduce all lambo's prices down to 40k? no, because one is a production car and one is a supercar thats made in limited quantities.
with cpus, the size of the chip, and the process are the 2 biggest factors. 300mm2 on 32nm should be pretty close to each other (10-20% performance), just because a car costing 20k$ or 200k$ both have 3000lbs of steel does not mean they are built anywhere near the same way and can have vastly different performance (5x the horsepower)

Two more words would be trash talk, stop.
Fantastic!!!!!
