Bulldoze that Sandy Bridge

[Lightman]

Intel already have 8 core Nehalem (Beckton), much less 8 core SB (which due to the ring bus, should be easier to scale to many cores ).

Well, I knew that. That's the reason of '8 core SB' in my post, specifically pointing to Dusty Bridge architecture variant for LGA2011. That's where all the fun will happen end of this year.
