I fully intended on having a review up for release but....
The last few launches Intel would send CPUs and mobos etc.. all you need to run and test. This time there was no heads up and all we received were the CPUs. Long story short I should have performance data up in a week or so still don't have a motherboard in hand.

Yeah, figured there was a mobo or ram complication. I just feel robbed getting to the bottom of the article and not seeing numbers.

Yeah, that's more like it!

Nice to know the OEM thermals have improved, but it would be tempting to save the money, get the 12600K, and OC the snot out of it with the additional power headroom.
