pff Lindfield's integrated PCIe bridge support 8x/8x PEG 2.0 split and that's sufficient for CFX and SLI! (efectively that's same BW as with 16x/16x PEG1.1, and that's enough for CrossFire and SLi)...
and what will benchmarking of i5 prove is that clock-4-clock it gives same performance as Bloomfield for the less price, alnd since LGA1156 mobos wiil be much more affordable it rise the question of reasoning behind purchase of any futurre Bloomfield CPU and LGA1366 mobo...
First of all far from all Lynnfield CPUs support it. Secondly. Alot of mobo makers wont do 8/8 but just 16. And trichannel still wins alittle bit over dualchannel.
1366 is the choice for multi GPU. Just like people before bought 975x, X38, X48.
