I don't understand why intel doesn't offer an "Extreme" version where they solder. Or if they're really that cheap, they simply don't include the lid (and they can even get rid of the stock cooler while they're at it). I'm sure they...

while it seems promising that a 4.6 Haswell can match a 5.0 SB-E, its also kind of foreboding that they're only showing Haswell @ 4.6... I already have SB-E; if Haswell can't also hit 5.0 or higher, I'm not going to be thrilled. it...

if Haswell can reliably get to 5+ GHz solely with a higher end cooler and doesn't need to be delidded to get there, then it's likely a worthwhile upgrade to any enthusiast without a delidded Ivy. My 3570K is a backup rig to my 3930K,...

This sounds like it could easily be more viable than a service like OnLive in the sense that you have 1 gaming computer and can then stream a game using the gaming computers power to any compatible computer/device, so the latency is...

its too bad the 480GB drive isn't cheaper, @ $600 for 960GB is very tempting, but I'm used to RAID0, so I'd rather go for two 480GB drives instead of a single 960GB.

hard enough to get keep hardware updated to play modern games to just do 1080p120 let alone 2160p120, 2160 is 4x the resolution of 1080p and I'd feel like I'd need 3 x Titans or 4 x GK104s to be where I'm at with just a single 680, which...
