I really wish these have Quick Sync in them. Otherwise I don't see much use over current HW-E considering Broadwell had very minor IPC gains and was mostly about the IGP. Would be interesting if BW-E also has the IGP fully enabled, though a new motherboard configuration would be needed.

So new CPU and cores, but they are only allowing up to three GFX cards supported....? Maybe I'm seeing the diagram wrong in the pictures provided.

Low clock speed means slow? Are we back to 20th century?

I realise am a bit out of the link in re current knowledge but am I right in saying core + all these threads are only so good as the game/program that can make use of them?
I.E You are paying for all this power but it wont be used properly so you are better buying something which is A)cheaper B)Faster re cpu speed?
Correct me if I got this slightly skew whiff..

Holy shiz Intel, there's overkill and then there are these puppies.
You are mad if you want one for gaming alone. 6 cores/12 Threads is more than enough for most things.
