It's to sad to see AMD is no longer even contending in the high-end segment. AMD is even struggling to compete with Intel's mid range offerings.
The i7-3770 is not good value at all, if you're looking for value you go for an i5-34x0 or i5-35x0, or for high-end go for an i7-3930k. The i7-3770 does not fit in very well, the i7-3820 offer better value.
I've been comparing i7-2600 with i7-3930k for workstations, and even at low and medium loads the i7-3930k handles well idling mostly at 1.2 GHz, while the i7-2600 is jumping up in frequency a lot more, even though it's lowest clock is 1.6 GHz. I believe most power users run more applications simultaneously, and while not all applications utilize all six cores, the six cores of i7-3930k is still beneficial for running normal loads cool (e.g. running a web browser, GIMP, a music player and even virtualbox while idling).
