I think we all knew it wasnt worth it when they announced it
The i7 980x does look like a fun toy though. of course unless you actually use progams that use multiple threads (I for the most part dont) all the i7s are worthless to you.

I want a version of the 980x on the i5 line just for fun


This thing is probably only ever worth the money if you make really, really, really amazing 3d films, and for some reason your making them 1600p
