Enthusiast-class "Ivy Bridge-E" CPUs get priced ahead of launch

[Jad Chaar]

That's a long wait, and DDR4 RAM isn't gonna be cheap on release.

I'm also down for a 4930K, not been too impressed with the IHS issue on IB and Haswell so didn't bother upgrading to those.

Yeah, DDR4 isnt the feature I Was thinking about for Haswell-E. It was the 8 core .

I may start saving up for the 4930 if the overclocking performance looks good. I'm also hoping some newer LGA 2011 boards come out.

Just wait for Haswell-E.

Yep.

IB-E was shown to have a soldered heatspreader some time ago

That's awesome. 4930K is mine!

Hoping Haswell-E also has SATA Express... (apparently it is supposed to but we'll wait and see!)

If you have the money for Extreme series CPUs, you must have the cash to spare for a PCIe SSD xD.

Couldn't wait any longer,had all the rest of the build so I bought the 3930k ,oh well , hope there's not much difference,other than saving a bit of power..

Some yes. I'm after RAID + TRIM support. The OCZ series doesn't do TRIM in Windows due to using SCSI miniport I believe. RAIDR supposedly does but yet to confirm - until they prove it, I'm assuming it is bs.

It's a bit of a mess. If you want raw speed you go PCIe. If you want best SSD command support you want to go Intel SATA.

Wow, that is dumb. I hope Samsung or Intel comes out with a PCIe SSD for consumers.
