Need to build a high-end machine soon. Anyone know when X99 mobos are scheduled to be released?

There's no rush, really, as Garber notes that the price for DDR4 is outrageous. A 1Gbit DDR3 chip is $1.40, while a 2Gbit chip is $1.70, and a 4Gbit DDR4 chip is $30. By December, when volume production kicks in, that will drop to $5 and by this time next year, it will be $2.50, she said.

I just hope that we won't be artificially restricted to 1 DPC with X99, and we'll be able to run 2 DPC at a lower speed (or the same speed, but just not validated).

But an artificial restriction by Intel to intentionally limit the memory size with Haswell-E by restricting us to 1 DPC wouldn't surprise me at all...Intel has a penchant for such behavior...
