I still dont get it. Whats the point of paying 1000k for a 980Xtreme when you can pay under 330 dollars and get better higher performance. ?

Two words. 6 cores.

6 Cores = Sex

What's this " Higher performance " you speak of ?


It's funny how you don't get it, but you start multiple threads about why there are no 8 core enthusiast CPU's...

Intel has a history of "protecting" the pricing of the Extreme Edition CPU's. I don't mean not releasing faster cheaper CPU's when they become available, Intel can't help that, it's the forward march of microprocessor advancement. I'm talking about protecting the pricing of the Extreme Edition CPU's by pretty much never lowering their price. So if you buy and Extreme Edition CPU you can be assured that the price won't drop in 3 months. So if you want that performance, until the next line of CPU's comes out you're gonna have to pay for it.

Unless you overclock of course

A 2600K still has to be overclocked to 4.8 to compete with a 980X at 4.4 ..

Define performance and give examples.

Especially when MC has the 2600K for $50 less than NE.

$329 is still too much to spend on a CPU IMO.

Look at the prices of the Core-2 Quads:

Two of them are STILL over $300.

That's the thing. So long as people go out and buy these things, the more it will encourage Intel to keep their prices too high. I still keep my CPU budget at ~$100. The most I'll spend on a GPU is ~$150.

Q9650 is still 330 on newegg and people still buy it.

Right, because they're hanging on to their "futureproof" motherboard as if their life depended on it.

Don't worry, no one's noticed yet...and where are you finding 980X for $1,000,000?
