Why? We aren't looking at a tick here. Look at the improvement going from core2 to Nehalem or Nehalem to sandy bridge. Thats what I was expecting with Haswell. Haswell looks to be a pretty big disappointment so far.

Also, still no hex core on the "mainstream" socket? Really, after all these years?
