The Sandy Bridge Preview (Anand)

[RaV[666]]

wow man..read the entire article before you start spouting nonsense.

1)There is no FSB anymore. Hasn't been in 4 years.
2) He made the point of the unlocked parts would cost the same as the current high end parts of today, so no you aren't paying more, intel just changed the binning
ie the i7 2600k is the same as the i7 880. Still paying $500+ for the fastest desktop quad that isn't an extreme part, +unclocked core and at least 10% performance improvement...for free. DAMN YOU INTEL!!
3) read the entire article

1).I know there isnt FSB EXACTLY, however theres is and will be some kind of master bus speed.
HTT on AMD system, QPI on Intel.So ?
2)Yea there will be K`s with unlocked multis, so no fine tuning and getting every mhz, and they will cost as high end parts.So no clocking of cheap bastards.Maybe you sleep on cash, i dont know.I dont like it however.
3)I have read it, anand softens the blow, something this well, scary he tried to push like "moving forward".yea.sure.

Of course if you are kind of person which just buys everything at the highest prices, change a multi and be done with it.Than yea, nothing really changes for ya.

Dont get me wrong, performance is spot on.And if amd was competetive ,intel would not pull it off.
On the other side, if my own fans like taking away options from them, then well, maybe not.
