Let's put things into perspective: the i7 920 was released in November 2008 for $284. This new SB i7 2600K will be released roughly 2 years after the i7 920, costing around the same price point, but will it perform 2x-3x faster according to moore's law? NO

Ever since the Core2Duo architecture, all processors are incremental upgrades with diminishing returns. Frankly I'm disappointed at Intel but when going up against the laws of physics, you're always going to lose, especially when AMD has its head up its own ass.
