Hmm I would go haswell-e but its just too damm expensive. I was looking at anandtech benchmarks the other day there and a 4770k vs 3930K, there was virtually no difference, apart from one or two tests. I dont think games make use of the extra cores yet do they?<br><br>

I cant begin to imagine how expensive those 8 core desktop cpus are gonna be.</div>

3930K is still plenty faster than a 4770K. It's just that 3930Ks are clocked so low out of the box that it kind of hurts the stock scores.<br><br>

I always hate and at the same time love changing between my 3930K and 4770K. With the 3930K I miss the pure high clocks and awesome single core performance of the 4770K. And while using the 4770K I miss the extra cores of the 3930K. There's no real best of both worlds CPU for that atm. Haswell-E should do nicely though.<br><br>

It's also nice that we'll now see a really high clocked stock haswell in reviews. Should finally mean that people wont repeat the "9590 competes with haswell i7" line as much. However 4.5ghz stock boost is still a bit of a surprise. I wonder if these will ship with better cooling (the old extreme edition gulfie cooler for example)
