Sandy Bridge-E and X79 Motherboards Listed on Chinese Stores

Why are people taking this seriously? If someone decides to do pre-orders for a 7650 at 600$, does that mean that the AMD HD 7650 will be 600$? People gotta chillax

And no, AMD FX won't do much better because SB-E would be too expensive, as it competes with lga 1155 not 2011

Intel has stuck for long time with 3 brackets for their top processors - $280+,$500+, and $990+, with majority of their sales being in the first. Intel is not going to price their new 6 core below their $500 bracket. The quads (3820) will be in the $280+ bracket. Nothing new. Move along.

I doubt these prices are real.

I doubt these prices are real.

All that needs to be said. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

i7 3820 = ( A little Less than $300)
i7 3930K = (About Mid $550 )
i7 3930X = (A Little less than $1000 Bucks)

I got this information direct from a Intel Pricing sheet. While I rounded the numbers (not to give away the exact numbers).... I promise you the rounding I did is not greater than $30 Bucks at it's largest point.

I have had the pleasure of messing with these CPU's already. I can not disclose where and how and why. Whether you guys believe me or not is another story..... But I can tell you now for sure officially..... do not worry!!! Prices of these CPU's are not that High....They are closer to this.....

TBH I'm skeptical about your story, but theses are the prices that were speculated and the ones that make sense

I will jump aboard, if they come out with an 8 and/or 12 cpu from this series. I myself am an enthusiast (currently with a X58 chipset), and I do think that all the rest of the new features for this new type processor do seem pretty exciting to read about. So let's just hope that they come at about the same prices as the last enthusiast chipset did, and the one before it and so on... wink* And eventually come out with one that will leave the competition in shreds. I have faith that Intel knows what they are doing and by next year all of the die hard enthusiasts will be raving about how their system is soaring to new standards to have never been seen yet in the pc industry.

I don't get the whole SB-E platform in all honestly.

We know that IB is around the corner, in less than six months. And if it's going to go the way that it has been then we should expect IB to deliver roughly equal to SB-E performance for all but rendering tasks.

As it stands now the 2600K is overall a better CPU in many regards than the 980X... certainly for general use. Is it going to be the same with the top IB vs the top SB-E?

LGA 2011 Xeons could have an 8-core chip... 12-core chip MIGHT be seen in Xeon when IB-E comes out

and they are available. Cheque out the numbers available.

That's expensive, but unless your encoding HD Media every day, there's no reason to have this much power in a cpu(K Series). There just leveraging the 1%'s willingness to pay ridiculous amounts of money for a chip that is more potent PER socket. Though the X79 set has almost no bearing on the PC gaming scene, as benchmark after benchmark show the 2500k+ lineup as being tied for most gaming benchmarks. If your a gamer, you money is better invested in a stronger GPU rather than a 1k dollar chip.

Albiet I was hoping for a i7 920 type scene, where a chip could be had for sub 500 dollars. Dual x16 slots/quad channel memory is tempting.
