Hi all,
I'm planning to upgrade my old configuration to the latest intel core generation (4th generation ?), but as far i remember there is Intel Core ix xxxx and it's power saving k version.
I presume for an audio configuration, power saving options are useless, am i right ?
Thank you !

I am just looking at the 4960X and 4930K myself for a new computer, and the only difference I can see is .01GHz faster processor and 3MB extra RAM cache. For quite a bit extra money I don't think the Xs are worth it. Not heard the K described as power saving, it operates just as the X as far as I know.

S version is power saving
X Desktop or mobile dual-core extreme performance processors

a SKU is a model number.
it means that none of the new motherboards have real PCI slots. they are tacked onto the PCIe bus with a third party controller. the z87 and h87 systems seem to work just fine, however.
