| This is NOT a 980X. This is an early ES sample and has nothing to do with the final product (which will run at 3.33 ghz).

| 5893MHz with HT, not bad. Better question is will there be cheaper models than the Extreme version, or if that will take one more year... |

| who needs them anyway, seriously?  there's hardly a market for quad cores, few apps require more than a single core, most take benefit from dual cores, negligible group can use more than two cores. unless your main purpose is rendering or encoding; a 6-core CPU for a desktop PC is wasted  if your intention is to run VM machines, then this single socket product is definitely a welcome addition
