Okay so for the biggest twist of all.. and stick with me.. The biggest reason I want x6 to be mainstream is so maybe just maybe we will get an hedt x8 2011v4! Boom! I just went there.. I can't believe you guys didn't jump all over that sappy story about wanting that feeling again.. lol I was cracking up while typing that and almost slipped and put an Athlon 64 FX in there.. lol Those were no where near mainstream and very high priced.. lol

What are we going to do with an x8?

The same thing we do every night, Mediocre Club - try to take over the world!

I don't talk about unreleased NDA products that do not have info in the public space.... But we did see a ES 6950X for sale... it's a 10-core CPU. Rumoured to have 3.0 GHz stock, 3.5 GHz Turbo. It'll be interesting to see what number of cores actually run @ 3.5 GHz.

That's why the 4-core iGPU chips have going for them, the higher clock speeds. the cache to support more than 4 cores generates too much heat at high speed use. 1 GHz on Intel is a decent boost in performance, but 500 MHz is rather... meh.

AMD's 8-core 9-series chips have 4.7 GHz stock Turbo clocks, and for most uses, do fairly well. They also cost 1/8th what an 8-core Intel chip @ 4.7 GHz would. Maybe you should buy one. It's $50 less than a 6600K locally.

Just curious if this one will be a better overclocker than previous gen. I mean, even the base freq is 400Mhz lower...
