maybe it would be true using 8 core without no threads i think?

And if they were to do so, what purchase decision would that change? Not that lots of people considers to dump 1000 U$D on a Processor, and get stuck on a platform that has end of line ahead to boot.

If there's definitely no chance of a 4970X, I'll buy a 4960X right now, otherwise I'll wait and probably give into the temptation of Haswell-E, which I'm almost certain I'll live to regret.

You'll regret getting 8 cores, higher memory bbandwidth, SATA Express and AVX2?

especially given that Intel is developing a track record chipset bugs and that motherboards in general are such a minefield of issues these days.

Current LGA 2011 platform should be worse. Because the X79 Chipset is from the paleolithic era, most of the current features like SATA-3 and USB 3 requires TONS of extra controllers on the Motherboard. That adds both cost AND complexity - the latter adds even more chances of issues, bugs and quirks. I would prefer to wait for a clean X99-based Motherboard instead of something that need tons of third party chips to not feel outdated.
