That's my experience as well (Intel HT = 0.22-0.25 real core). Now $1000 price +
$$$ motherboard + $$$ DDR4. Might be a good idea to get an 8-core Sandy
Bridge/Ivy Bridge for < $1000. (eg saw a Xeon E5-2687W 3.1 GHz going for $650).

Waiting an extra quarter is fine. Price, on the other hand, hopefully won't be
too bad. Current Xeon Phis are anywhere from $800 to $1600 (ie don't pay more
than $1600 because the retailer is ripping you off beyond that).
