The only problem is that such increases in speed are really only needed either for gamers or a small subset of people who work with graphics/engineering/video.
Lots of other uses for an 8-core desktop workstation... Lots of guest VMs inside virtualbox, a host operating system such as Qubes which is a xen hypervisor, etc. Not just gaming and very cpu intensive things like 2160p60 video encoding.
