It's all for PR. "Amd releases first 5Ghz Processor" but they leave out "It's 899.99 and loses to a 3.5Ghz 329.99 Core I7 4770K". I'm rooting for amd only because i'd love a 12 or 16 core Opty on AM3+ but it'll never happen.

I have a feeling Steamroller will come in a 12 or 16 core variant.

Every 990FX board wiould have to be redesigned to handle the power requirements. They'd be 250W processors
 


you would lose the headroom to overclock, but come on... how much power does an 8350 use at 4.8 ghz. If it isn't 250W it would be very very close

Steamroller comes with a 28nm process node shrink. With that you can add 2 more modules to the existing 4 I think while keeping the power envelope modest.

I though SR was on 32nm. On 28nm 12 core should be very doable.

Yeah exactly what I'm thinking here some of the news but there are many links from Anandtech to Toms: http://www.techpowerup.com/167884/amd-adopts-28-nm-bulk-manufacturing-in-2013.html
