A quote from the article:
Bring out the beast. The true enthusiast wants the best of everything. Nowhere is this notion better illustrated than in the PC space. How many of you have played around with online configurators and 'built' a dream machine?

There will always be conjecture on whose memory or graphics card you should use for the ultimate desktop platform. Arguably what's beyond discussion is the brand of CPU. AMD will admit privately that rival Intel has the high-end space sewn-up, particularly with the many-core Extreme chips that are Xeons in a different guise.

It's been almost a year since Intel debuted the $999 Core i7-4960X - a six-core, 12-thread monster hewn from third-generation Ivy Bridge technology. Yet the next generation of silicon, codenamed Haswell, has been doing the mainstream rounds since June 2013, with Intel mixing and matching architectures as it sees fit.
