Bloomfield will ship with 4 cores. Whether Intel will ship 8-core versions remain to be seen.

Cheap parts?

One thing for sure its NOT 4 16x bandwidth, & your looking at several grand or double total system, yet when its out, some mains will be ?32K in vantage(IF THATS PLAUSIABLE #), with BIG Memory slots, it could be Home Workstation for early buyer.

They are a good thing but hard to tell if they are used on this. I have a 50 dollar ASrock 478 mobo in my hand and the caps look exactly the same with the blue markings.

Standard electrolytic caps are prone to leakage and are inefficient at high frequencies that's why they are usually paired with a ceramic or polystyrene decoupling cap around 0.1uF.

On this board hard to tell without a parts list
