Don't know if I should jump from a good 2011 deal which features a Rampage IV Extreme and 6 or 8 core 2GHZ Xeon or should I just wait for Haswell.

I would think a 6 to 8 core 2GHz xeon would have pretty poor performance in anything that wasn't heavily threaded.
Will we be able to overclock socket 1150 xeons now through BLCK ?
And you thought Ivy Bridge ran hot... Another site received a retail sample and did some overclocking tests on the 4770K chip and found that the chip hit 100C within 20 seconds of running 3.9 Ghz at 1.2 volts on the stock cooler. This was worse than their engineering sample chip.
'i7-4770K official version of the the radiator full load (CPU voltage AUTO), the actual voltage is 1.2V, full of IntelBurnTest the pager less than 20 seconds, the core temperature has easily exceed 100 ° C , Intel original radiator fan working at full speed will not be able to suppress high temperature, the CPU appears the phenomenon of high-temperature reduced frequency, clocked at 3.9GHz down to 3.6GHz. '
How hot is Ivy Bridge on 1.2 V at the standard Intel's blower?
Anyone that buys an E platform obviously has a use for it and plans to use all cores.
I am also interested to see how these haswell parts pan out. I'm still stuck on my q9550 775 socket. needing a good upgrade. Hopefully the heat spreader plate is soldered on.
I was undecided between the two but after seeing these early reviews I think I am just going to go with a 3930k. If 5+ ghz OC's were common on air I would have waited but it doesn't look like that is the case and rendering 4k video brings 4 cores to its knees. Maybe those de-lidding the xenon e3 version without the integrated gpu will have better luck.
I decided to buy an i7 3770K from microcenter today. Hope I don't regret it in a few weeks. Can't say I'm disappointed so far. 4.4Ghz out of the box without any increase in voltage. I'm hoping for 4.8.. 4.9Ghz once I play around with it some more. This should tide me over for a few years. It's noticeably faster than my i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz.
Got links to any 4k videos? I play Bluray rips with practically idle CPU utilization, I find it odd that doubting the resolution would suddenly load it to capacity.

Click quality and choose 'Original'. Also, the resolution is 4x that of 1080p.

Tried this again on my sig machine, but this time had the video playing on my monitor that's driven by the Ivy Bridge IGP, CPU utilization was very similar to the earlier test. Not really sure why the other poster is seeing his quad core taxed so much.
Also the resolution for 4K is 2x 1080p, the number of pixels is 4x as much.
Rendering a 4k video ≠ watching a 4k video
The so called USB bug is a non issue, you can buy it immediately when it comes out.How soon after release do you think it will be practical to buy with that USB bug and such?

My E7200 can show the video smoothly.My Sandy Bridge HD 2000, on the other hand, can't show the video smoothly

That sucks. So if I want to upgrade my ram I'm s.o.l.?
^^^ Ram definitely will head in that direction, but I don't see just one cpu housing everything or at least most everything for years yet. Probably a decent amount of years.
I was waiting on Ivy Bridge, but admittedly was a tad underwhelmed by both the CPU and platform change of sorts. I figured there would be a more massive "tock" change with Haswell, but honestly, in reading about the socket 1150 (down 5 pins?) and the CPU itself, the differences for the one real useful CPU (the 4770/k, presumably to replace the Ivy bridge of similar numbering) seem rather minor?
Anyone want to weigh on this (I'm sure many have already in other threads, although I saw none on quick glance beyond release date speculation threads).
