Indeed the concept is to beat the slow Pentium score, if you can do with an i7 5960X that's fine... only hardware limitation on Stage 1 was a GB board
When will the background of Stage 2 be available?
if you grab a binned 4930K it will not be slower than a 5820K... most 5820K don't even reach 5.5 Vantage... DDR4 won't make up for the 400-600Mhz a good 4930K will offer...
