The truth is this is exactly the chip I want it seems. I do tons of shit in parallel and couldn't care less about overall peak speed in one thing. My gaming just has to be smooth not amazing, and for what I do (tons of multitasking/virtual machines/multiple game clients) this seems to be the best choice. Cores, cores, cores.
Then why not get the cheapest Intel 9xx chip with 6 cores/12 threads and triple channel memory? I do not see the logic unless it's cost and then the lower priced 2600K has just as many threads?
