this is a overclocking forum - many here will find it worth it
To be fair any OC'er would have found a Gold sample (a KS) if they really cared in the first place surely? I see this product as only being desirable for the ultra-niche "must have top range'rs", people who were looking at a K for a long term upgrade or a stop gap before Intel actually releases something interesting.
The problem with the long term upgrade or stopgap... is that clearly Intel doesn't fancy it's prospects beyond a year of use, so it's a very limited product to me, i certainly wouldn't buy if Intel suspects it'll die after a year, you won't be able to resell it to upgrade realistically without a huge loss. The weirdest thing though is that it doesn't really... do anything for Intel, they already have a large margin in gaming, a little bit extra that you could have achieved with a gold sample anyway is, i feel clutching to keep in the news i guess?
I'm not the market for this, clearly, AIBU?
