Yep. Intel Haswell-E 5960X processor, X99 chipset, DDR4, PCIe 3.0 galore, and more!
It's out there now. I am so tempted, too, price be damned! But methinks I will (try to) play it cool and wait just a little bit longer, let those 1st-gen implementations go through their teething pains, wait until Intel's 15nm "Skylake" stuff is more than a pipe dream, allow the inevitable Newer/Faster/Better Haswell-E proc comes out (lol, without deactivated microcode for buggy extensions), see those 8GB DDR4 sticks become affordable, etc etc.
I notice, reading last month's NCIX's CPU Magazine/Brochure, that they've benchmarked the 8-core entry level proc across a handful of middly- and high-tier X99 motherboards. Some phenomenal numbers across the whole range, makes my "old" X79 look like complete suckage.
But then they also benchmarked a $12,000 "Living Room Computer" which is basically the same setup running on a top-tier X99 mobo which packs the same fat GPU card setup and a pair of performance-RAIDed SSDs. It scored TWICE AS HIGH on every benchmark, it sustained about 115fps on Metro, the numbers look like five of my X79's added together. Can RAID-paired performance SSDs really make such a difference flat across the whole range of metrics when compared to a single decent SSD setup? The mobo was (presumably) better, and apparently runs ASUS-provided custom EUFI, but I can't see it alone standing so much higher than the "lesser" X99 mobos (including another one from ASUS).
