Yes "we" are.

Ivy E likely coming with $300 4 core, and $500 6 core, and $1000 6 core with slightly higher stock MHz/more cache.

So hopefully Haswell E will be coming similarly, $300 6 core, then $500 and $1000 version of 8 core.

Im waiting now for Haswell E as well, and will get $500 version 8 core if they have it....unless they only release $1000 version first and I have no patience at that point.

Sounds too good. I'm expecting Haswell-E 6c around $400 and 8C around $600-700 for K and $1200 for X. But I am seriously hoping and praying you are true. In my country I am paying a lot more anyway..:\

I'm willing to bet that a modern i5 CPU will be enough to survive the entire lifespan of the PS4 ports.

Depends on the lifespan of PS4. 5, 8, 10 years? CPUs from 2005-2006 when 360/PS3 came out are all worthless for modern PC gaming now. i5 4670K is probably going to be a huge bottleneck for GPUs 8-10 years from now.

no way is an i5 going to survive the lifespan of the PS4. my 2500k at 4.4 already hits near 100% usage at times in Crysis 3. anyone building a high end gaming pc would be wise to go i7 at this point.

Crysis/CryEngine has always been a rather unoptimized pig of an engine but I fully agree with this - games will need more grunty cores in the future. Personally my i7/680 in the opening level of Crysis 3 hit 35FPS Very High, my Titan/3930K now hits 45-60, a big fat improvement at 1920x1200. Plus in the Welcome to the Jungle level, it hovers around 50FPS solid - all that grass rendering is just soaked up by my 3930K.

What? How do you know that? Do something, if you would be so kind. Go to task manager with crysis 3 running and go to affinity tab and disable 4 threads for crysis 3 (2 cores). See if there is a difference.
