oh those, from what i've heard they haven't been priced yet, well at least officially.
on a side note hearing some further news with the haswell refresh, seems like they'll be improving overclockability to an extent.

this makes me wonder though, how would a dual-core haswell pentium @ 5Ghz compare to a hawell i3 @ 3.5Ghz.
even if you factor in HT its still barely slower in multi-threaded workloads, and thats without considering the part that HT doesn't scale well enough like real cores.
but coming from my i3-2100 (sandybridge @ 3.1Ghz) i wonder if its a downgrade, its worth considering for the massive single-threaded performance boost.
[100% = base sandy @ 3.1Ghz]
100% x 1.1(ivy) x 1.1 (haswell) = 121% x ( 5.0Ghz / 3.1Ghz ) = 195% or 95% faster in single-threaded performance.
if taking out HT means decreasing the overall multi-threaded performance by 33%(1/3) its still gonna be 30% faster.
but for a worst case, its getting little to no performance improvements in multi-thread workloads.

Mistgun_Zero:
Care to explain the last link. I don't really know much about this stuff. Does it require two connection. And the speeds compared to now on SSd and hhd.
Ah well, this link explains it a bit more nicely. http://www.legitreviews.com/what-is-sata-express-and-why-it-matters_140093
This stuff is still complicated for me ~desu

i'm not exactly sure either, but seems like they're trying to parallelize the sata ports with PCIe to increase throughput and decrease latency.

What you can be sure of, is that it'll involve a lot of "what?! You're telling me _____ will work with _____ but not with _____?!" and lots of returns :P
I’d wait for things to stabilise, and for them to reach Mini-ITX/thin-ITX, before I look into them. M.2 is barely out and cooled and its incompatibility issues aren’t even settled yet, and now here’s another one to add to the list.
kitamesume:
looking at some other stuffs that recently came into the market, HSFs in particular makes me wonder, how come they hadn't made an air/water hybrid cooler?
in concept the heatpipes transports heat faster than most practical means of cooling but only a little heat at a time can be transported.
while water can absorb and store a lot of heat at a time, then transporting the stored heat onto the radiators to be released and dissipated.
the problem is the heat absorption rate and heat dissipation rate of water is slow(hey how fast can you heat a kettle full of water? or long will it take to chill it in the fridge?).
combining both could net better results, by using the heatpipes as a means of spreading heat where water can benefit from the larger area of heat exchange.
edit: theres a small topic in OCN about doing a water cooled heatpipe - http://www.overclock.net/t/1352540/water-cooling-heat-pipes-a-worthy-idea
edit2: another one - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?81128-Watercooled-heatpipes-%28Give-opinons%29&p=1154135#post1154135
