No, this will be the family computer that does, facebook, internet, email, homework, music, movie, gaming and a little Boinc running in the background. Only way to sell it to the supreme leader...(Wife)

Just a heads up, looking like the i7-6950X might have 10 cores/20 threads and be available 1h 2016. It should also be compatible with the X99 chipset, same as the i7-5960X. Same base clock speed too.

Confirmed.
Here is Intel admitting it's existence: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/pro...p-to-3-50-GHz-

Currently it only exists as a changelog entry for an update to Intel's Management Engine supported CPU list on the X99 chipset.

Is that compatible with X79? Just curious...

X79 is Socket 2011-0 (version 1). X99 is Socket 2011-V3 so the pinouts are logically different though mechanically identical. ---> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_20...et_generations

Short answer = No. Sorry Z.

Well, that's actually good news. I can't be tempted.

Hmmm, are you sure...?
