If I was paying $1300 for a motherboard, I definitely would not be getting the Intel version this generation.

If you pay 1.3k for a motherboard, you're into Extreme OC (or extremely dumb), and probably don't really care that they're worse than AMD for gaming or whatever. At 7.5GHz the only thing you're running is probably CPU-Z to validate your score.

It's because high end Intel chips have been eating themselves, not because x3d chips are better for gaming...

That's the last two generations. Still doesn't change that Extreme Overclockers don't care about that, and have OCd them to 9GHz.
