I was thinking about stuff today, and I came up with this question : what would you do if you received an i7 3960x from a friend / family member tomorrow ? They are extremely expensive, so I think refusing the present or throwing it away wouldn't be very nice, but would you try to sell them, or just put them in a shelf ? Or maybe buy a LGA 2011 mobo ?
Also, what do you think about 2011 ? Do you think next CPUs will have to use so many pins (after Haswell as it reportedly will use a 1050 socker), or will future technology allow for CPUs to use less pins ?
Well I would be waiting months just to get the money for the motherboard.
So I would probably sell it no one in my family cares if we sell gifts.
I would then sit on the money from it and wait for PileDriver.
I am not sure why Intel jumps up to so many pins but AMD has only gone up 1 pin in recent years and the new socket really only brought more power control features.

I decided a while back if Trinity was decent CPU side it I would wait for PD if not I would of spent the spare money I had on an I5.
As far as I can tell from Tom's Hardware's desktop Trinity benchmarks, all they've done is traded floating point calculation speed for integer calculation speed.

Uhh what Trinity is better then BD across the board Floating point calculation speed is a lot slower on any BD based arch such as pd.

Intel and pins.
Piledriver may/is worth waiting for.
