                              AMENDED 21:18 - 14/11/2011

     Maybe I was in the dark but for me  ( and you ) this is stunning news.......

     Core i7-3960X
     (3.3GHz, 3.9GHz Turbo, six cores, hyper-threading, unlocked multiplier 15MB L3 cache)

    Core i7-3930K
    (3.2GHz, 3.8GHz Turbo, six cores, hyper-threading, unlocked multiplier 12MB L3 cache)

    Core i7 3820
    (3.6GHz, 3.9GHz Turbo, four cores, hyper-threading, partially unlocked multiplier 10MB L3 cache)

                                                        

   The L3 cache was cropped on the 3930K...... but the speed (Mhz) was only cropped by 100Mhz.....why when all past "Extreme Edition Processors" had a marked clipping of speed

  This to me is the fantastic news ....as it tells me the difference between the 3930K and the 3960X is most probably binning only and the extra 3Mb of L3 cache locked!.....and that..... it's at it's limit..... not on the die shrink (present nm)  but the material itself and the gate architecture........If you don't  understand the last statement these are the ramifications....

  If you look back at the last 2 or 3 versions of "Extreme Processors" ... there was a marked L3 cachee and/or Mhz difference with the lower chips.....and you payed for the privilege accordingly, .... now you can have the top processor with a 100Mhz penalty (and loose 3Mb of L3)........for much less then half the cost.......100Mhz is only 2.63% of a speed hit ..... now do you see the good news for what it is ;)

  This also leads to another gray area and that's the missing L3 cache.....has it been locked out by burning the gate off....or just locked out to be opened at a later date when some smart bunny works it out  :)

  I don't think we'll be so lucky next time round with 22nm tri-gate technology by the way of Ivy-bridge  .....so enjoy it while you can

Actually I think you will find that the level 3 cache is 12MB on the i7 3930

     That's an UPGRADE Tech9 .... no mention of the pre-build what you would be folking out for or the base price before the 99 dollars AU

   Also the 3820.....Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Hi Friends, ;)

Just for infos :

Extract :

Although the Core i7-3820 does enjoy its high points against Gulftown and the Sandy Bridge-based Core i7-2600K, its pricey platform, locked multiplier, and quad-channel memory requirement don’t seem to deliver any more value than a Core i7-2600K on an inexpensive Z68-based board—and that platform gets you Quick Sync support.

Source : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i7-3930k-3820-test-benchmark,3090-13.html

In this condition, I have a choice for plateform 1155 with Z68 Motherboard With Cpu E7600k or non K... or maybe Xeon
See my post here about Xeon : http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,7390.msg58692.html#msg58692

I think it would be nice and more reasonable given the little of difference in performance between Cpu Intel-Core i7-3930K and i7-3820.

What do you think of that. The test on the website and his conclusion?

  Hiya Gloup .... been a bit busy in other areas so congrats on 500, .... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ....

        To cut to the chase Gloup-Gloup ...... Knowing a little of your situation, Its far better for you to have a high end 1155 system to play with then a low end 2011

  Performance wise you won't notice diddly-squot .... and you will save your self a small fortune .... not to mention a fair bit of pre-loved components becoming available everywhere, giving you the option to save even more if you want to pursue this cost effective path.

  There's also the stability issues .... 1155 has now matured into a fine platform ... BIOS updated fixing most small niggely problems that come with any system ...... For many years I have preached.... "Never buy first generations or stepping's of new kit" ...this has saved my Bacon on several occasions and seems to have proved correct yet again with potential product recalls being bandied about with the new platform across several manufactures.

  Hope this answers your question.

Hi Aussie Allan,  ;)

Thank a lot for your wishes for the holidays.

According to the understanding of what you wrote, I know you encourage me to get a motherboard socket 1155 as the Bios is more mature. Also I have my money in terms of power and quality.

I want to reiterate my best wishes for good start to the year 2012.  ;)
And thank you for the congratulations of the 500th.
