Geeze, $1096 for a mobile CPU !
The i7-4910MQ @ +- half the price is a better option imo.

Yeah, high end CPU's are always super expensive, it almost seems exponential! It's never the value purchase.

What gain does intel have with price points like these? These prices aren't attractive to anyone - if they want to help declining PC sales, maybe they need to stop beating the dead horse that is AMD and start giving people reasons to buy x86 over ARM. With quad and octa core tablets and phones, the average person doesn't need anything much better. Intel is in their own idiotic world if they think they're going to "win" by acting like their price point is reasonable - $9 billion in PROFITS clearly shows they don't even know what to do with the money. For a company that prides in being "innovators of tomorrow", proportionate to their income, they're by far the least innovative of their competitors. AMD, nvidia, Samsung, TI, and arguably even VIA have all done something to change their strategy to meet with the new age of products, but Intel continues to tread the exact same path with minor tweaks for years. Then, they whine about why nobody wants to use them for phones and tablets.

I see Intel is continuing their confusing naming scheme for their mobile processors.
Desktop i7 49xx model = 6 cores with HT
Dekstop i7 48xx model = 4 cores with HT
Laptop i7 49xx model = 4 cores with HT
Laptop i7 48xx model = 4 cores with HT
Laptop i7 46xx model = 2 cores with HT
Laptop i5 43xx model = 2 cores with HT
Laptop Celeron 29xx model = 2 cores.
Any time I order laptops, I always have to go look up the specific CPU model numbers because the naming scheme of the laptop processors is so retarded.
The numbering scheme should be the same across Desktop and Laptop processors.
