This is interesting. I'm assuming then the cheapest one will be the 6-core die with 2 cores disabled...

And assuming the cheapest one will cost you as much as much as an entire modern mid-range gaming computer. Anyone who buys these CPUs for anything that isn't server or serious workstation purposes either has terrible financial priorities or has way too much money to just throw away. I would be interested to see how these perform though, especially against other server CPUs such as SPARC.

^The cheapest SB-e is around $290 actually cheaper than a 4770k what's your point.

Cheapest 6-core I believe is what he's on about.

...you're telling me the 6 core IB-e Xeon is going to be cheaper than a 4770k? I wouldn't believe it if a quad core IB-e Xeon without HT would be even $1 cheaper than a 4770k.

You may need to brush up on how to prepare crow my friend. BTW Bleh! Was referring to the 4 core IB-e that will be the entry level chip 4820k which will be a 4 core 8 thread CPU that has an unlocked multiplier. Can't wait to see how well this chip overclocks.

Cheapest 6-core I believe is what he's on about.

His post clearly says a 6-core chip with 2 cores disabled. Did any of you read the news article there will be three IB-e chips the consumer based one for socket 2011 is going to be a 6 core not an 8 core with 2 cores disabled like SB-e.

Very nice! But I am good with my 4770K

I was referring to the quad core version. 6-cores being useful for people like me who do audio work.

True, and it probably OCs better, too.

It has HT, is an i7. Uses more power, though, and no IGP.

Exactly.
