I really want to see what the 4930 and 4820 do! 

Agree, I would take a 4 core model at one third the price, if I could get 300 to 500 more MHz out of it.  That just may be the case.  Lets wait and see.  Partially unlocked? Is that a rumor or what?

For the 4820k, if CPU-World has correct information (take note they ARE still unofficial), being a K unit would mean that it is a multiplier-unlocked unit. That would remove straps and Base Clock fiddling.

 

I could not say what would be a REAL advantage for gamers with even 2 cards in SLi over a 4770K processor, except having a higher cost (lol). Even there, the 4770 being Haswell, would have higher
IPC compared to the 4820K who is Ivy-Bridge Maybe the overclocking limit would be higher, since you dissipate 1xx watts thru 2011 pins compared to 1150 pins, but that is just a guess.
