What the ....? What's with those K, T and S? So many models to confuse those customer????
The Core i5 is still quite expensive, I believe this is 1,000 units price, RRP will be much higher.

K is multiplier unlocked, S is low voltage CPU, T is ultra low voltage CPU. it is easy to guess from the table alone.

What I hope is the Ivy bridge will not require a chipset change, and actually come out with 6-8 core for LGA1155.

EDIT : fixed typo. Because I am too amd.....

just notice that with the same model number, but different suffix, the clock speed also different.

Err, not understand, can clarify?

it is typo, it should be "and" not amd.

recently my Asus P7P55D-E motherboard processor socket few pins have broken, can anyone tell me where to repair it?

intel like to change the socket, bloody sucker~~when will my 1366 socket stop producing?

1156 and 1366 probably will stopped late next year, if Intel rush to challenge AMD next release.
Now lets pray AMD go slow with theirs LOL... (not going to happen)

Still the Intel's model number too confusing. Seems Core i7 too has built-in graphics

It is a waste of money TBH, people who buy i7 is most likely enthusiasts using P67 chipset which doesnt support onchip graphic.

Might be good if the PCI-E can be turned off to allow graphic card change on the fly, but the PCI-E power is another problem
Anyway, those processor that support integrate graphic card might become much common, and that allow the graphic card to be turned off to save power, for those who run their heavy gaming rig 24/7 for BT, this may be a good news. (Hopefully it's for that purpose)

it is unnecessary now, because the latest Radeon 6800 series consume as little as 19w when idle. What I am saying is why would Intel disable the display capability on P67 chipset, when it could have been use as a backup display card, especially since it is onchip(CPU) now, it doesnt add any extra cost nor affecting the chipset overclockability.

Maybe they'll be using H6x chipset for that purpose? =.=" Intel is going to confuse more customer @.@"
Thus, makes us much busier to answer those same topics over and over again in this forum... LOL

i m waiting for AMD Bulldozer with gaming MB which supports it....
then wanna sell my current MB+Processor+Ram...

Was thinking of Bulldozer too but they suck on release date. I am not gonna wait for another year to get it. Sandy bridge is around the corner. I am going to stick with Intel. Besides there is a possibility that Sandy bridge mobo can support up to future Ivy Bridge CPU. Something like Nehelem & Westmare.

Bulldozer is a new architecture. Really wanna wait for real hardware test before making a move to AMD.

Sandy Bridge sound great in power and efficiency. I am thinking of making SFF rigs.

Another side listing for 2005k with the same price GBP UK 170

Some more news:
(~$200 for the i5 2500K and ~$300 for the i7 2600K seems pretty good! )

Bulldozer tentative release date is Q2 2011 (although according to a recent news report may indicate some select models may be released late Q4 2010). So anyway it is less then a year.
