I will not be buying one. I can actually afford it at the moment (which is unusual) but I will be waiting for Ivy Bridge. Moar IPC (allegedly) and moar efficiency is far better then this brute force solution!

When Ivy Bridge comes out though I will prolly splash out

Well I do not believe the IPC can improve.
Anyway I'm scheduled to buy an IVY for its low power.

Lol, yes I hope to OC the CPU to 4.5Ghz out of the box, and use the lowest possible voltage, for everyday use; my 2600K OCs to 5.2Ghz for benching, so if I can push my 3930 to at least 4.8~5Ghz for extreme benching I'll consider myself satisfied :)
