No but the 3930k will be almost similar to the X. I dont mean to make amd users upset by posting that, so dont take it the wrong way. I have used the 965BE 140w and the 1090T myself. I am now going back to Intel because they are so mutch better in almost everything, and the prize difference is perfectly ok as long as Intel dont make them even more expencive.
Oh thats nice. Cheers for the info.

LGA 2011 is awesome.
it eats everything AMD has to offer for breakfast on consumer level.
be interesting to see if it beats the new 16 core AMD server chip based on bulldozer.
think it would tbh but still will be good to see if AMD can beat intel chips on at least one section of the market

Its 1.4v for air - and you need a top end cooler to push the volts that high.
1.5v would be for watercooling and people that understand what overclocking is about.

Not for a while, probably a years time but i'm planning on upgrading to normal Ivy when it comes out first half of next year and then to Ivy Bridge-E when it does come out.
Do you keep all you rig's?

Tom - any chance to do superpi 1M and 16M at 4.8-5.0 GHz tests?

The 8 cores should be monstrous.
Yeah it might be very nice
I read that the C1 stepping have a few issues that might be fixed in next batch, so il think il wait a bit and see what will happend. Also, the IB-E is launched Q4 2012, and it is compatible with X79 MB.
Correct me if im wrong. the 8 core SB-E is only for servers?
Why no quick sync on the SB-E?

The 8 cores are the Xeons, they are mainly for severs and aren't really designed for desktop use they are designed for use in dual configuration on Server motherboards like the SR3. Just looked at the specs as well and these Xeons have a 150w TDP
The reason there is no quick sync on SB-E is because they don't have the integrated graphics processor like SB, the IGP is used for quick sync.
I'm not sure about the IB-E news about them being compatible with X79 and the 2011 socket. They probably will be but i'm betting IB-E will have a new chipset when it's released, so even though they might be compatible with the X79 chipset and 2011 socket it will probably just be better to wait for the new chipset for IB-E. It's the same with the desktop Ivy Bridge CPUs as well, they are compatible with P67 and Z68 (gen 3 motherbaoards anyway) but Intel are releasing new motherboards with a new Z77 chipset when Ivy Bridge is released.

Yeah that was what i thought. I didnt read the article well enough first time, so i thought it came a 8 core desktop cpu. Il grab a 3930k then, but i might wait for second batch.

No harm in waiting, good things come to those who wait, or so they say, never seems to happen for me
its a couple of seconds faster than sandybridge clock for clock mate from its extra ram bandwidth.
