I really don't have the money to fund 6 core i7's. I'm still undecided on an i7 4770K as they're about £70 more than the Xeon I'm looking at. The downside with the Xeon is it can't really be overclocked. But then, it seems to be a bit of a lottery as to whether the i7 4770K you get can overclock beyond 4.3 Ghz, because Intel went cheap on the TIM.

There's no sense in me getting anything beyond 4 cores/8 threads as I can't afford Vue Infinite, and the artist series are limited to 8 threads -which sucks!

The exhiliration of obscenity, the obscenity of obviousness, the obviousness of power, the power of simulation... ravishing Hyperrealism... mind blowing!
