We must be of the few who use these products, I have a 3280
Ivy Bridge I think its a socket 2011. 32gb, and I have it clocked a bit over spec.

I have an SSD and a couple of 1.5TB hard drives. But I need and have 11 fans to keep it cool.

It would be nice to have the power reduced and run cooler.

I also, built a home theatre pc using AMD, and an older intel I5 750 hooked up to a digital keyboard for piano lessons.

Everyone else in the family has laptops, I have an Ipad for travel.

I could see an upgrade to the Carrizo in 2015.

I see the processors moving to ARM for a decade now, of course there has to be support for Win 7 ultimate I run.

I hope there is enough remaining market to drive high end CPU development but honestly, most of my time is spent and an ARM, I’m typing this on a three year old Asus Transformer and I always have my phone with me.

3280 is an AMD, you mean you have an i7 ivy bridge cpu? But yes, they do run hot.
