Nah, LGA isn't dead.

As I said its just a rumor

It seem to me that all the haswell processors have integrated graphics, if it is so then they are "soothed" for laptops.

I will get this for my new pc build, I think next gen broadwell processors will hopefully run on the same socket as this one

My main concern is that if Haswell gen is poor overclocker, we should expect same thing from Broadwell gen CPU's. Or even no OC... That would be a nightmare.

In fairness, how many 'enthusiasts' will bother with VT? With that kind of work role, you're really not going to bother with overclocking, so the K chip isn't what you're going to go for anyway. Although I admit it's an odd thing to omit just for unlocked multiplier, but not a big deal regardless.

I overclock and "need" VT (or the AMD equivalent). Sure it's a niche case though - mainly because my backup VirtualBox host is also my gaming PC. So the PC is oc'd (for gaming) but the VT extensions are useful to enable better VM support. Maybe this disqualifies me from being an "enthusiast" and perhaps - like my missus says - I'm actually a "victim" or "addict".

I thought the K series had VT-x but only missing vT-D and vT-C both of which require the Q87 chipset which is for workstations and business, NO OC?

According to ARK you're right. And I'm not sure how essential VT-d is.

Brilliant Cpu got mine about two months back it's brilliant
