The 4930K is based on the Ivy Bridge architecture, not Haswell, and will be
supported in existing X79 motherboards. They are expected the first half of
September. I'm pretty disappointed--even though the die itself will have 12
physical cores (for IB-EP for 2P platforms in the Xeon E5 V2 line), the
desktop-class i7 chips will top out at 6C/12T--even the $1k EE--meaning half
of them will be permanently disabled.
Haswell-E chips will use a new socket (LGA2011-3) and be released with a new
chipset (X99?). These are hopefully to be released in 2014.

Greg, have you heard anything about when Intel plans on releasing the
Haswell 4930K? Do you think that any Haswell motherboard purchased now would
work with a 4930K? Thanks w
You know what's worse?
Intel deliberately dicking with us. Ivy-E is confirmed to have solder TIM.
So, after we fork over extra moolah for Haswell K SKUs, we get :
1) Crappy TIM
2) Gimped feature set (no VT-d, TSX, etc)
For Haswell non-K SKUs, they removed +4 bin overclocking.
