ivy bridge-e

i know that this is most likely only aimed at jifs interest, but i felt like bringing it up.
i was doing some looking around at computer tech, since its been a while since i really delved into new stuff, and holy crap, its lackluster. it seems like everyone is just putting out old tech with new names. i mean, come on amd, re-releasing the 7000 series while putting off the 8000s? boooooooo
i did see, however, that the ivy bridge-e stuff had hit the market, and ive got to say, once again, that im really disappointed in it. i know it would blow my current rig out of the water, but really? putting ivy bridge on the 2011 mobo? sticking with the x79 instead of the z87? but whyyyy... you sacrifice so much new tech with the old chipset. along with the fact that its still a 6-core chip with a 22nm die? they went from 32nm to 22nm and didnt up the number of cores? couldve easily done 8 cores, i was hoping for a blowout with the beaucoup one with 12...
marginal increases mean that this chip isnt really worth that much of an upgrade, and i think id hold off, even if i had the money to put something together right now. disappoint...
