Broadwell-K will be on the same socket 1150 as the current Haswells. It won't be untill after Broadwell and the introduction of a new socket that the mainstream will adopt DDR4 on the Intel platform, which by then should mean DDR4 will be cheaper.
Looking forward to the 8-core Haswell-E though, 20-25% improvements in IPC along with a 33% increase in execution resources over my 6-core Sandy-Bridge-E? Yes please!

Also AMD is crazy competitive with Nvidia! LOL you crazy?! |
AMD *could* give Haswell a run for it's money with Steamroller and high-clockspeeds, Haswell-E though? That ain't happening. :P
AMD has given up chasing the high-end/enthusiast market, at-least for now anyway, most of their focus has shifted away from servers and high-end platforms and focusing on the mainstream segments, such as their APU line.
