That's what seperates the xtreme from the people who just post on a forum named that.... Ill probably buy one of these for the same reason I bought my 3770k, 4770k and 3 3930k
You are forgetting a very, very, VERY important fact: If you can purchase several Processors with the sole purpose of binning them yourself to get the best one, the first thing that you have there is Xtremely Deep Pockets. Some of you seems to forget that on real world, money is a limiting factor, so even if I wanted to, I could't be "xtreme" because my budget simply doesn't allows me to do something as ridiculous as purchase several times the same component to bin it just for the sole purpose of breaking some stupid score of non-tangible real world performance in the order of... 2%? 5% at much?. For some of us price performance rules supreme, as most of the "xtreme" stuff is pretty much designed to burn cash with little real world application. Its a mere hobby, one where I'm not going to do an act of brand loyalty like purchasing an inferior product that doesn't deserve my money.
