To little to late for me. I needed something last weekend and from those numbers, I still would have grabbed the 2600k.
Wow. I have just been reading up more on this patch that is coming out and it doesn't sound good. It could break more things than it fixes.

The first patch is for Linux only with a windows patch later on.
Sounds to me to avoid like the plague to start with until they sort this out. Kind of glad I missed out now.
