Intel is preparing a wave of new server processors for the first half of 2012: 20 new CPUs in Q1 and another 20 new models in Q2, according to Digitimes.
There will be seven 8-core CPUs in the first quarter, including the Xeon E5-2690, two 6-core processors (Xeon E5-1660 and 1650) as well as three quad-core processors including the E5-2609 and dual-core processor E5-2637.
For Q2, Intel has apparently scheduled eleven Ivy Bridge H2-series CPUs and seven additional Xeon processors, including the Xeon E5-2470. There will also be several low-power models, including the eight-core Xeon E5-2650L and six-core E5-2630L, both of which will debut in Q1, as well as the Xeon E5-2450L and six-core E5-2430L in Q2.

Oddly enough a 2P gaming computer would probably hurt you more than it would help you. Inter-process latency, inter-processor latency and memory latency have a huge detrimental effect on real time applications that aren't extremely well threaded.

its still worth every penny than sticking with AMD's dollar store CPU's
Intel is competing with themselves, at this point. Look forward to some massive overclocking potential, as I'm sure they're pushing the 22nm nowhere near their limit.
