So does this mean 1150 is a dead socket?
4820k ???? are we sure not just 4820, without the K?
Yup...this pisses me off, and yeah, many benchers will say there's no real problem with that since you can still overclock using ln2 (and in fact, delidding normally hurts ln2 oc's) but still, this is either clear manipulation of the consumer markets, deliverately hampering mainstream chips OR maybe they couldn't solder 22nm parts till now (which I have a hard time believing)
IMO, I highly doubt it would cannibalize the market for 4930K. I mean, think about it. Nobody should be buying a quad on this platform really as it offers no benefits over Haswell at this time (outside of additional PCIe lanes for tri/quad CFx/SLI). In fact, it is likely it will be slower like IB is to Haswell currently. I mean quad channel memory bandwidth is shown to be a non factor, so why would one go quad core CPU over Haswell there? To pay more for the entire system? I can't say I would understand such a move personally.
