and i just realized that 2 grand is going to be going into something shinier than the computer - my zen meter just deflated so much

according to the leaks no dual core cpu, the single core ipc will be around Broadwell or skylake, but rumors should be taken with a grain of salt so wait and see.

Even if he doesn't want ZEN, he should wait for it to be out. Prices of all including intel might drop.

At this time, which isn't to say some developers may pull out, games get cancelled, etc.  Happens sadly all too often.  To me, it's another attempt by Nintendo to be so different that they might just gimmick themselves out of the competition.
