Yeah I caught this last night oddly enough x-). I feel like I should have seen this earlier than I did, but whatevs. Definitely going with X79 as the update to my now non-existent 2600K rig... Time can't pass by soon enough! Need to see what the Ivy-E's look like before I commit to a purchase of that magnitude.

I'm waiting for news on new boards, which as far as I know so far are going to be tweaked X79 chipsets, so I can pop my 3930K in and replace my UD5. Then maybe sometime next year I'll go up to IB-E.
8 Core overclockable 2011....? Be fun taking Orca apart for that! NOT!
I have seen rumours of Ivy Bridge E, coming with 6 Cores at a minimum and 15 Cores as the maximum.
Whilst I don't believe the 15 Core chips will be for the average home user or enthusiast I think, they will be aimed more at high end servers.
I was going to upgrade to a 3930k, but have decided to wait for Haswell reviews and solid Ivy Bridge E news before I spend any money other, than on the Corsair Obsidian 900D and some new Watercooling gear.

Will that 12 core beast be hyper threaded?

All well and good for Ivy Bridge E, but..
No. Wrong!
It is the first Sandy Bridge E consumer CPU to have all the bloody cores turned on! You know, instead of that stunt they pulled before, where they make an octo-core CPU and then disable two of them!

Gonna be interesting to see what they are like and how they perform for sure, and there is even a chance that I may be able to buy one at that time.

For £1000 i could get a go-kart and 3770k. In the extra time im waiting for it to render i can drive my go-kart.
Intel for some reason have always loved partly disabled CPU´s dating all the way back to 386SX. Why i dunno...

My next upgrade is far, that would be socket after IB-E 6-8 cores, I will skip IB-E and Haswell. OK Haswell is almost like IB, but definitely it's time to cross on 6 Intel Cores and more. This is end of 2011 and to early for upgrade for me, than Haswell version Extreme, new socket/new power. This IB-E definitely worth for people who bought R4E and 3930K in November/December 2011 to upgrade only CPU to 8 cores.

Go karts are fun, but 8 physical cores....overclocked......imagine...how many excel spreadsheets i could open in one go
its cheaper, im sure thats the way Intel have always 'binned' their cpu's if its not suitable for Xeon, it drops a tier etc etc, pretty sure AMD does it as well, not sure if it was the Phenom cpu's that could unlock cores or something

It could be done on some 3 core Phenom's but you had to use a Biostar motherboard. Further back there was an single core AMD you could make a 2 core. You had to modify it removing a bridge and adding bridge's to lands on the surface of the processor package (not on the die itself). I forget which processor, been a long time ago. I think it was before Athlons. :huh:
