So don't underestimate Intel. They know what the market needs. If it's evolving slower than you expected, maybe you should adjust your expectation and also see how revolutionary AVX2 and TSX really are.
It is more than a year since SB and AVX are available in the market. Could you tell me how many desktop applications can take advantage of AVX ???
I dont say we dont need AVX and AVX2 but we have Multithreaded Desktop CPUs (Pentium 4 HT) from 2002, a decade have past and there are people here that say we dont need more than 4 cores in Desktop. Im sorry but that is pathetic, programs are lagging behind hardware advances more and more the past few years.
If AVX will take a decade to be mainstream then AVX2 on Haswell is not something you people should get your hopes up and running.
