Time to toss more money Intel’s way, PC enthusiasts. The long awaited LGA2011 chipset is finally here bringing with it new hex-core chips and quad-core memory. In true Intel fashion they’re starting off with a bang featuring the high end Core i7-3960X hex-core processor. Each core runs at 3.3 GHz when in multi-core mode, but can clock as high as 3.9 GHz when less than 6 cores are active. The 3960X features a 15 MB of level 3 cache and is priced at $1,050.

You can go a la carte and pick up the chip by itself or go full steam ahead with one of Maingear’s new Shift or F131 computers which now have options for the new processor. The cheapest configuration with a 3960X will set you back just under $2,800 — and that doesn’t even include a decent GPU (Nvidia GT 440). Hope you saved your pennies.
