intel ivy bridge-e price

[Pheesh]

Can anyone explain these two SKUs: i7-4930K and i7-3930K?

I see no big difference in cache size, frequencies, core/thread count, overclock segmentation (both are k) and TDP. No great difference in price as well. So why continue to sell two processors so close to each other? Stock clearance on the 3930K might come as an obvious answer, but then who would buy 3930K for higher price than 4930K?

Could it be that the 4930K is an overclocking disaster compared to 3930K?

4930K(IVB-E) is replacing 3930K (SNB-E). 3930k is the older processor that they are listing for comparison at it's current price. Obviously retailers will be forced to drop the price on the snb-e to clear out stock in the face of IVB-E, so 3930k price will drop below the 4930k- This is a good thing!

It was pretty obvious when they couldnt even get the SB info correct. I guess thats the standard of sites today

I have taken the liberty to insert your image.

the HD 4600 can support 3840x2160p @ 60hz? that's news to me..

well, hmmm. it says it'll do it over DisplayPort.
i'm assuming DisplayPort 2.0
i don't think any of today's Z87 motherboards have DP 2.0 on them.
have to wait till next year?

Ivy Bridge IGP can as well. Full 4K support including video decode.

The 30FPS is with CVT. With CVT-R you can get 60FPS on DP. So unless you gonna use a CRT. Then you can get 60FPS with DP 1.x.

Oh come on, Itanium is dying. The 22nm part was cancelled, as was the "common platform". Either HP couldn't afford to pay for further development or Intel just flat out wanted it gone.

It's because Oracle stopped supporting HPUX on Itanium (Despite the court cases later, the vase is already broken) .. so the platform became useless from sales point of view .. No point investing more in Itanium .. It'll die slow death now ..

I see, I knew IVB could do 4K, but I assumed only @ 24hz/30hz. Didn't think Haswell could do 60hz (60fps)

Both IB and HW can do 60.

I dont know how the focus on the CVT got into peoples minds when everything is LCD variants.

3840×2160×30bpp@60Hz requires 21.4Gbit without CVT and 16Gbit with CVT-R. DP 1.x is 17.28Gbit.
