IIRC only Ivy-E has been confirmed for X79/2011.
I too expect a new socket for Haswell-E.

Prestige Worldwide wrote:My apologies, gents. It appears a brain fart of sorts resulted in me writing Haswell-E in my previous post. I just meant to say that if games or applications do become much more heavily multithreaded (not out of the question with 8-core consoles being released this year), I could benefit from the x79 / LGA 2011 platform with a drop-in upgrade to a 6-12 core CPU in a couple of years. Ivy-E Xeons are said to have up to 12 cores (Chinese slide below), although whether consumer models will have chips with all 12 cores enabled is another thing entirely.

Loading maps in SC2 STILL takes 10 to 15 seconds on a Samsung 840 Pro, 4ghz 2600k, ram clocked @ 2133.
Not good enough. 3 seconds or bust for everything.

I know that Ivy isn't considered the greatest overclocker ever, but 4.4 GHz is still pretty easy to achieve without having to go to the trouble of delidding. Was there any other motivation for doing that, or did you just want to do it for fun?

I can (and have) measure a difference in seconds between the (in order from slowest to fastest) Barracuda Green drive I own, the faster Barracuda XT drive, the OCZ Vertex Plus drives (slow by SSD standards, but still faster than the HDDs), my Vertex 4, and even my RAMdrive. Sure, most games are GPU/CPU-bound most of the time, but plenty of games are I/O bound during loads; you're talking nonsense. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノYou realize that modern games load times are mostly CPU-bound (single-thread)? Having a faster I/O only helps if the game is constantly streaming a ton of data onto memory (MMORPGs) or has to load a ton of data onto memory from a "cold start". My lowly Green 1.5TB WD drive is just about as fast as Cruical M4 128GB in most the games on my current rig when load times are concerned.
