I am looking at these. But so far too expensive. When one that I am comfortable with is out, I will probably move, thus skipping the 1156 fiasco altogether (1366 now). |
The prices have always been circling around $1000-600-300 for almost any new-born 3-tupled extreme line-ups by Intel. I guess the lowest of these, the 3820, would be selling just as much the 920 used to 3 years ago...

The 920/930 were never 1000$.
And these I consider much better than the 1156 alternatives, especially with overclocking.
The 1156 is just too bottlenecking and architecturally inferior. Its only purpose when it came out with the first generation of cheapo i7 and i5s was to kill AMD's lineup basically. For some reason Intel chose to stand with the inferior platform. Probably a lot cheaper to make, surprise surprise.

I never said they were. What were the first three Nehalem chips in Nov.2008 that were priced around the prices I mentioned -> $300 for the 920, $600 for 940 and 960 (I think it was that model) was around $1K...
That's what I was trying to tell - Intel usually releases three extreme models of their new architecture in the beginning setting them prices around these three figures (like the new 3960, 3930 and 3820).

The extreme CPUs are also always shit.
The i7 965/975 extreme versions were terrible. Sure, relatively high clockspeeds and 8 logical cores, but in return you had a CPU that ran hotter than hell, while a 920 could reach the same clockspeeds just the same. To reach any clockspeed where the difference matters, you need LN2 anyway, so why pay triple the price?
@ h_s: The 960 was around $600; you might be confused with the hexacore Gulftowns (970/980X which were $900 and $1000 respectively)?
I myself had an EE 955 and while very powerful and a surprising amount of room for overclocking, I'll never run off an Extreme version again. It does run very hot even at "stock" speeds and they're just not worth the premium; my 955 would've cost $999, excluding the stupid 975X based motherboard I needed. My excuse for that one is that it was given to me by Intel along with one of their boards to put it on 
For those that want to know: EE 955 = Presler XE, or an "Extreme Pentium D" - so not an i7 or anything, this was 5.5 years ago. Dual Core w/ HT resulting in 4 logical cores, stock speed of 3.46 GHz (I got it as far as 3.9 before I ran into issues with the stock cooler). Slightly higher FSB (1066 vs the standard 800 in Presler), 130W TDP at stock settings. Insanely powerful back then, and I'm still using it in my fileserver today

It's a CPU line purely for professional work and not gaming as Interinactive's post shows pretty well.

Nope it's a gaming platform too.

The Core i7 3960X in a 3 or 4 core version would be excellent with a less big $ tag.

You'd be an idiot to buy said platform for it though. If you have money to waste I guess it doesn't matter. However, what's the point of spending all that extra cash when a 2500k/2600k build is allready way more then enough.

By your logic we are all idiots for not just playing on PS3..

Horsepower you don't need. Sounds like a real pro necessity...

2500K is the best for gaming at the moment. Games doesnt benefit from HT at all, not to mention 6 cores. HT can just fuck up fps sometimes (needs to be turned off on 2600K in certain games).

I'm guessing you haven't seen the reviews. Clock per clock the new 2011 parts aren't any faster then the 2600K. Applications that can make use of the additional 2 cores benefit from it. However, there aren't any games that would benefit from that currently. Not to mention how expensive it is, and the huge power (Pentium 4 level) draw.

Yes, you'd be a fucking idiot to buy it for gaming.
For how expensive this new platform is, ones money might be better served investing in a dual xenon board instead unless you really needed the throughput of quad-channel DDR3.
