Oh my freaking god-MUST HAVE! I dont think I will be able to afford something like that tough.At those prices I would need to work all month in order to buy just the Cpu.
But wow 10 cores,20 threads!!! I would have guessed $1000 max, I dont see who is going to drop that kinda $ on a cpu.

I wouldn't have thought what someone paid on ebay for an ES is indicative of Intels pricing for it when it comes out.
I wouldn't expect more than $1500
