OK, not sure I understand the PCI Express configurations, are they saying that the 5820K will support X16 with 1 card installed and only X8 X8 when running CF or SLI? That can't be right surely for the top end chipset can it?

For an 8 core those stock-speeds are pretty low i gues.

These cards are expected in September, right? For the PCI-E specifications, does the 5820k only do 16x-8x-3x in PCI-E 3.0? 8x being 16x in PCI-E 2.0?
If so then that would be nice because current graphic cards haven't maxed out the PCI-E 2.0 specification "not till Nvidia's Pascal" which would be the 900 series with a rated bandwidth of up to 1gbs but I guess that wouldn't matter anyways because we would need new motherboards that would support NVLink to fully use it!
That won't be the case till Skylake CPU's and the 200 series motherboards arive?

We'll have yet to see turbo speeds. 3GHz base for 8-core Extreme may look kinda disappointing. However if they offer good boost speeds, like in case of laptops, it may look completely different.
Also, it may be much better to get "good old" 4770k / 4790k for a gaming rig, as they should offer great clock speeds at lower power usage and less money, which should be more than enough for games and general computer usage. Also, the motherboards are cheaper for such CPUs. However for workstations, usually more cores = better.

Prices... hmm hmmmm

Wow, what a joke. Premium platform and Intel makes the 5820K a trashcan.

It's new platform an new memory DDR4, so it's going to cost regardless.
