I think this link below should give better Idea on How good is Sandy
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

Core I5 2500 and Core I7 2600

I was forced too blown mobo that can't even power on , I'll better get surge protectors and UPS too my house
's Power supply is unstable, damn you TNB.

Intel will most likely going to remain socket and chipset for Ivy bridge anyway just like its predecessor, from Conroe/Wolfdale to Nehalem/Westmere

One year later......theres no use buying Ivy bridge processor nw............Haswell will come out dis december wif ground up new microarchitecture technology and Ivy bridge will b obsolete in 11 months time.........

Two year later.......theres no use buying Haswell processor nw............Rockwell will come out dis december wif 16nm instead of 22nm..........22nm is old technology and Haswell will b obsolete in 11 months time.........

mehh I don't wanna play this waiting game, since we have supa good deal with Core i5 2500K, that's good enough for at least another 3-4 years.

Problem is, it still isn't gonna work with P67 after all is hardware level, that software is only doing KVM switch work but at least you won't need to change input for monitor and you won't need to boot to BIOS to change your display output. If you ever want these features either go H67 or wait Z68 chipset.

They will be released 20th February, price should be around RM460 for Core I3 2120, RM 386 for Core 2100, no OCing nor Turbo on those CPU tho

Intel sure capable of flooding CPU to the market, they have at least 2 factories here, 1 at Penang another at Kulim lolz

Sh*t, can't upgrade my Sandy Bridge anymore, no matter I'm happy with historic Best Deal on Core I5 2500K and will live with it for very lllllloooonnnnnng time.

Still using SATA 2 ports as SATA 3 port slows my HDD down a lot gonna RMA for sure once they solve this issue

cuz my Sata 3 problem also and more potent , how I know cuz sawped between them and test on booting windoze

I'm pretty sure they will,I don't think they will ruin their image by doing that(largest mobo manufacturer wor). 2nd since I'm Sabertooth user I'm also qualify for premium service(P8P67 PRO user also got) from them .

All H61, H67, Q67, P67 and Z68 support Ivy bridge anyway, the newer 70 series chipset only add USB3(native), PCIE3(native) only

Ivy Bridge stock TDP is 77W, yum yum

Added on October 20, 2011, 5:21 pmYah, Intel will probably release LGA2011 version Ivy Bridge but maybe months later than the LGA1155 version

Yes is mATX, Asus dun have ITX z68 board, this is the best bet lolz otherwise just change the casing

Added on October 22, 2011, 8:32 amfound some Z68 based ITX size mobo, hopefully somebody sell in MY

ehhh...103Mhz BCLK might hurt the CPU a bit I recommend tune it back to 100Mhz

good move to hurt AMD, nice job lolz

lolz I do want competition, I miss AMD Athlon VS Pentium 3 era, Athlon is slightly faster but Pentium 3 wins in Performance per watts but back then oil is damn cheap, so energy cost cheap, nobody care about watts lolz

Another great era would be AMD Athlon 64 VS Intel Core 2(Core 2 solo, duo, quad which is based on Pentium 3[P6 microarchitecture])

Native support PCIE 3, USB 3 and probably Thunderbolt not much feature expect to add
