A lot of CPUs we can donwgrade to. I would like to see 6C/6T.

It's 2014, my cell phone has 4 cores, why is Intel stuck on desktop 4 cores. If they won't give us more cores because they are to busy milking enterprise users with higher number cores and don't want desktop competing at least give us higher Mhz, like 4.5Ghz to 5Ghz range instead of always being stuck at 3.2 to 3.9. This industry is as stagnant as you can get. (end rant)

More cores does not = better performance.

This^...I would bet that Core i3-4360 @3,7 GHz would surprise a lot of people.

BLEH!

I beg to differ :P

Well at least intel is making architecture improvements in their tik-tok scheme, AMD is trying. Maybe they both could deliver all those small improvements at once, but that's another issue.

Even if these are OEMs and the majority of us unable to get them (now); will these work on the current Z87 platform?

Edit: Not sure? bios update? curious myself?

this is what happens without competition the market gets stale. I have been waiting for a worth while upgrade for my 2500k at the same price point but its all junk.

ARM is their competition now :P They're interested in making their chips energy efficient instead.

Has jack all to do with competition and market getting stale. The fact is Broadwell is delayed so they're releasing these in the meantime. The prices are due to competition, that's it. All junk? You have a terrible view of things. I'll be upgrading to a Haswell processor with HALF the TDP of my 2600K (allowing me to choose a passive CPU cooling solution) and also gaining around 10% CPU performance. Not only that the integrated GPU performance will skyrocket about 60% if I choose to use that over dedicated graphics. That along with receiving a motherboard compatible with the newer 14nm Broadwell processors which will see significant power savings and graphics performance increases (128MB eDRAM FTW) and another CPU performance bump. Like I said. A terrible view of things, just keep your 2500K forever and shut up about it, thanks.
