wow, LGA2011 really big.
and overclock just to adjust the multiplier to x50.
and 5ghz on 0.981v.

yea, i think sandy bridge cpu won't be disappointing.

20mb of share L3 cache, this cpu really not cheap.

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

haha, core i7 950 still perform very strong, don't worry.

doubt that why pc depot selling sandy bridge cpu,
but these cpu haven't officially launch?

maybe he means the memory size?

wow, 4.8GHz on just 1.080V.

16'c.
maybe at mountain area with raining season like genting now.

can refer price at pcdepot.

refer here:
Efficiency Comparison: Sandy Bridge Vs. Intel And AMD CPUs

maybe intel board cheaper.

i will choose the sandy bridge one.

hmm, newer architecture.
overall faster.

Intel Z68 chipset to launch May 8

wait for the real launch to see what happen to the onboard vga/dvi/hdmi port.

for sandy bridge architecture,
the integrated graphic is located in the same die with processor core.
they should communicated through the ring? not through the pcie controller.

on old platfrom like LGA775,
the integrated graphic is located on mainboard,
it should communicated with processor through fsb? not pcie lane as well.

Intel's Z68 comes on May 11th

looks like new technology on transistor.

wait for your rig to do -smp -bigadv.
