The power consumption under load compared to a i7 920 is just crazy. Some of the reviews show close to 100W difference even with 1.4+ voltage on the 2600K.
I'm definitely picking up a 2600K for folding but now to find the best mobo.
HWiNFO32 offers a more advanced support of Sandy Bridge (since several months).
It can report several additional params and monitoring that no other tool is currently capable (like power limits, consumption, GT GPU clock, etc.).
wtf how is sandy bridge losing in real world tests, those amd systems were way slower in the synthetic tests. gotta read more reviews and see if the real world improvement is there.

can you post up an example?Quote:

According to the chart on Anandtech the K series don't support VT-d or TXT(Whatever that is :P).
Anyone got an explanation why?
And yet another review:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Intel...K-175630.shtml
VT-d has got to do with virtualization. mistake in the charts ?Quote:

wow 2600k is even beating 980x!
would there still be a socket 2011 or is this the highend SB??
will wait for that one and for the bulldozer/FX whatever amd comes up with before jumping..
This is madness....:up:

K-series do not support neither TXT nor VT-d
damn, that sucks. bad for people who were looking to build some cheap workstations :(Quote:

Any reviews of a duel core laptop? Pretty sure they are not stuffing a quad core into the X201 Tablet replacement :) with these batterytimes I would not mind though
Anand mentions 4 and 6 cores on LGA2011 in Q4, without IGP. No 8 cores though. :confused:Quote:

VT-d also needs to be supported by the chipset and the bios of the mobo.Quote:

just thinking.. if the 2500 is ~$215(?) & is better than i7-920.. what will happen to the price of 2nd hand i7 CPUs? :D
Anand reviewed SB notebook (i7-2820QM + HD3000):
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4084/i...le-landscape/2
Looks very impressive. Mostly faster then desktop i7-920, pretty capable graphics (level of hd5470 & 320M) and excellent battery life.
Personally i'm locking forward to buy i7-2657M based notebook (i hope it would not be to expensive). That thing would destroy any brazos based notebook.
The turbo mode for SB notebooks has been improved a lot. If you look at first page of anandtech review, you would see that 2820QM can go up to 3.4GHz when 1 core used, 3.3GHz when two cores are used and 3.1GHz when all the 4 cores are used.
Also, all the mobile CPUs (except OEM & LV/ULV models) have GPU turbo up to 1300MHz
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4084/i...le-landscape/1
Not to mention that power consumption is much better than previous generation
EDIT: LV/ULV models are going to have HD3000 (12EU) graphics. Though, the GPU clock is going to be lower than regular models
yeah the high-end mobile SB chips are impressive, but you know darn well they are going to command a very high price. I'm more interested in seeing how the lower-end mobile SB will be priced.
I was surprised by this too. Maybe Anand made a typo there? Of course,there is a possibility that intel is going for maximum of 6 cores with SB(power limited) and 8 cores with IB refresh.Quote:
