Seems pretty good... Still I'd prefer Intel to launch enthusiast platform before the mainstream, I fear that the IPC improvements will make the 4c/8t close to the 6c/12t SB-E.
What's in for sure is that 3770k/3570k Ivy Bridge will wipe the floor with SB-E on gaming.
Now gief an LGA 2011 Ivy-E with 20MB L3 cache and 8 cores EE.
