I understand. Yet, SKT1155 and SKT1150 aren't Intel's real enthusiast platform. The fact we have Devil's Canyon coming at all says that Intel has heard feedback like your, and has taken steps to bring real enthusiast chips to the mainstream platform. I am not expecting more than a few MHz extra with Devil's Canyon. That's not really why we have Z97... nor is it beucase of these new Haswell-based CPUs. i7-4790 = i7-2700, and that is all.
Agreed, I am hoping to see some 5.0ghz area again but im not holding my breath. I was just hoping that temps would be more manageable again like on Sandy Bridge which in my book was the last time I saw some real enthusiast level stuff on something other than the E series platform (Mostly because of that God awful TIM).
Ill be waiting on Haswell-E and hopefully getting whatever is the mid range chip (Fingers crossed there's an 8 core in the 500 range).
