C-Zone already has Asus and Gigabyte motherboard prices for H67 and P67 chipset.

Processor:


Motherboard:


As I expected, the pricing is higher.

A hint on the price by the row sort?
Core i5 2300 S1155 is RM610 and above?
Core i5 2400 S1155
Core i5 2500 S1155
Core i5 2500K S1155 below RM885
Core i5 870 S1156 RM885
Core i7 2600 S1155
Core i7 2600K S1155 RM915 below?
Core i7 950 S1366 RM915

Interesting

i5 2500K should be RM7XX. This is the one that should be interesting. Minus the hyper treading from i7 2600K + minus 100Mhz only but u get it minus RM300.

Sandy 4 cores with K gonna give those 1366 socket 4 core i7 a really hard time.

AMD should start cutting price already, their Phenom X4 BE selling is starting to get ridiculous.

Just wondering if Sandy Bridge only official on 5 January 2011. Still no RM300 part?

lol after sandy bridge socket 1155,there'll be socket 1356 released and socket 2011.. then maybe Q4 2011 or Q1 2012, ivy bridge will released with 22nm technology and 8cores by default,most probably using ddr4.. double the performance o.O

I am more interested in the old platform price such as 775, 1156, AM3. if Sandy is about 5-10% faster than Nehelem clock for clock. @ 3.3GHz @ RM7xx. It is really making all old platform unattractive. Even the i5 2300 @ 2.8GHz selling @ RM4xx could have out perform i5 760, AMD 965 BE.

So , which motherboard having a pci slot and vga out ? I can't find much of their model.

Should be H67 chipset based. If you see H67 in the product model, that's the one you are looking for.

Sandy Bridge Core i5 2500K Review:
http://en.inpai.com.cn/doc/enshowcont.asp?id=7947

seems like just abit improvement
only 10% improvement vs i5 760
i wonder why they release new platform just for 10% improvement?

well the bridges does segregates the chips into multiple groups
with more OC capability on the pricier ones
whereas 1156 chips have almost equal opportunity to OC

duno how do u define the 10% difference.
RM100 of RM1000 is a lot at least for me.

if rm100 is alot for u then someone shld feel more pain
if someone is buying sandy bridge , he gonna fork out 1k+ for new platform for just a "rm100" improvement
duh , 1 year life 1156 change to 1155 with 10% improvement , ouchhh

First look of retail pack i5-2500K:












x47-48 multiplier is the maximum for i5-2500K, the Retail have the same problem as the ES that they´re limited to a frequency and won´t do more as this limit. The limit is on every CPU different....

but here 4.7GHz air cooled...



Anand said "However, Intel will allow overclocking through modifying the unlocked clock multiplier of up to 57 times the speed of base clock, which will be available in K-edition processors."

But for people who haven't upgraded (dual core/478/775). Especially those who wants crossfire or SLI ready. It's worth it for them. Pay 10% more for 10% improvement. Why not?

Now we just need lower price motherboards to drive the price down. It will take some time though.

I am getting the 2500K, even with the hot whether like ours it should hit 4.3GHz on air no sweat. 4.3GHz on Sandy is really really fast. Good enough for the Console emulators like pcsx2. hehe

Right now the more interesting part is how would AMD respond on this Sandy bridge pressure. With the performance difference like this their 965 BE Selling @ RM200 cheaper are starting to look less attractive.
