Maybe Intel is just trying to give AMD time to catch up for some strange reason. Besides the new MB's that are really nice this reminds me of AMD release of the FX 8150. If you had a 1090T/1100T it was a waste to upgrade just for the CPU. I'm sure the 4770K will sell well because of people wanting new MB's but that's the only reason. Nice review as always.

Or if you're like me and building a comp from scratch, then it might be useful to get :P

Looks like I'm going to pass the die shrink version too. 2600K/3770K will last looooong time.

Ill be getting it anyways.

My SSD isbeing hold back by like 200 MB\s due to SATA 300. My videocard is PCI-E Gen 3 ready which could be a 2-3% gain in performance (not a whole lot i know, but every bit counts). Also my Case is USB 3.0 ready and i got a couple of USB 3.0 devices by now.

X58 is just getting a bit old by now, it's been almost 4 years since i bought it.

Performance might be a bit dissapointing atm, but there will be new BIOS Firmware, Chipset Drivers. I highly doubt i will be throwing away money.

Intel has not released a new revision and the USB 3.0 sleep bug only happens with some specific storage units that Intel did not share.

I did connect multiple devices to USB 3.o to replicate that bug, yet was unable to spot it.

Thanks for that :D How much of an overclock can I expect at stock voltage? My 920 goes upto 3.5 GHz undervolted so something equivalent would be nice.

My view is the same. I want the Z87 Deluxe by Asus and SSD's wouldn't work to their full potential on my current build anyway. i'm not sure about hex-cores though as new consoles have such weak processors and we have hyper threading.
