If those specs are to be believed and the 5930k is indeed a 6c/12t part and the 5820k is also 6t/12t (not 4c/8t), then I would firmly expect them to do a bit more stripping out on the 5820k than just the PCIe bus. Expect it to have reduced functionality - probably missing VT-x and other associated instructions. There's no way that the 5820k SKU would hit an appropriate price point without more significant differentiation, otherwise Intel will sell few if any 5930k's.

Rendering queues don't rely a whole lot on extensions, ECC memory or anything else crazy expensive for that matter, so I'll take two (5820K), and crank them. I have an actual workstation for presentation. I had an actual employee from NewTek a few years ago try to give me specs for ~$500 Bulldozer (81XX) nodes for my new farm... I read some reviews, reconsidered, and PG&E (electric company) doesn't think I'm growing weed. I have four (4!) overclocked Sandy Bridge 2600Ks in my tiny farm... this will be a big thing for me, as Haswell has instructions I can actually USE (Haswell-E, even with only four memory slots... don't care... cache SSDs removed my bottleneck a few years ago).

I'm thinking the 5820 will be $400-450, with the 5930 being $599 and 5960 being $999.
