QFT. I don't see much disappointment at all. For mainstream use this is a win.
Although not being able to OC the cheap parts might help AMD, most people (mainstream) don't even know what overclocking is...

You can still overclock, just have to buy the unlocked part. Though, I wish all the cpus were unlocked and not just the pricey ones. But as I just said, this is a mainstream part. The enthusiast parts for us TPU users will be coming later in the year to replace x58 so we'll see what Intel does with that.
