You do get a couple of things, a McAfee special offer and hidden in the manual, a case badge, a nice one at that!
Looking like the Skylakes and the Skt939 Athlons, the Haswells are keeping up with the Jones’s

As we said at the beginning, Skylake is now here and the time is right to think about upgrading.You need to spare a thought for these power houses and if you are going to spend your money, which one? This is a simple one, unless you are going to use more than one graphics card, you need to buy the i7-5820K. As you can see from the test results, it's only a very small margin away from the i7-5930K in single card configurations.
