    Up to 10 cores, and quad channel memory. Good point. Though lacks PCI-E.

    A Vcore of 1.325V - showing higher in CPU-Z, oddly
    Possibly vdrop - but compensated for by the motherboard. My Gigabyte UD7 had three levels of vdrop/droop correction built in - none, which gives a pretty standard drop between what you choose in BIOS and see in CPU-Z, Level 1, which roughly delivered the same power to the CPU as you put in the BIOS, and Level 2, which overcompensated a bit.

    kinda seems like you might as well just get a 970 which'll save you about £100 (~£165 if you get that cheap Foxconn board) for a new build and'll probably perform close enough to the same too.

    I wonder what the prices will settle at after a few months, at the moment it just seems like crazy money!

    They're the same as the launch prices for the 1366 skt chips aren't they? Given inflation they're probably a bit cheaper actually, though currency has probably made them pick up a bit again for us in blighty.

    The full 8 core version will be released next year:

    However,clockspeeds look relatively low and TDP is 150W. Ivy Bridge-E is supposedly being released next year.

    I've been an AMD lad but on my next round of upgrades I have definitely swayed into the land of intel and with ram being so cheep at the moment I could have her fully kitted out with 32gb...
