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

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...
