We cant even get the R5E on the products page. Everytime I click on products in this forum and select motherboards they show every other one out there. Christ even the R4E black is listed on the first page lol. Wish they would update it with the newest motherboards on the front page etc.

Wouldn't R5 Black Edition be a nice thing?

Actually I am hoping that it doesn't take a new board to get any gains that the new processor may bring to the table, I would rather wait till Skylake E before having to buy a new board especially if the price of the 10 core is what has been suggested

This is what has me going "hmm" right now as well... skylake vs haswell GHz for GHz, core for core is a bit of a snore. Skylake's IMC is much better at going fast, but the gain is small in real world applications. So where does that leave broadwell? other than maybe not having a coherency bug? 😉

2 more cores is awesome, but at $1500/chip, I have to start thinking Xeon dual chip MB things, particularly v3 16 core sort of things. Things I am doing are moving more and more to massive parallelism, so 32, 44, or 36 cores is becoming far more useful than 4GHz (but what I really want is both!)
