Nice to see we finally have reviews. Reading Anand's review right now... Arg the decision to wait for Bulldozer and see how things play out or just jump on the Sandy Bridge bandwagon right now is going to be a hard one!

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?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.

Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

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 ?

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..

VT-d also needs to be supported by the chipset and the bios of the mobo.
If true that sucks

Seems we made our greatest error when we named it at the start
for though we called it "Human Nature" - it was cancer of the heart
CPU: AMD X3 720BE@ 3,4Ghz
Cooler: Xigmatek S1283(Terrible mounting system for AM2/3)
Motherboard: Gigabyte 790FXT-UD5P(F4) RAM: 2x 2GB OCZ DDR3 1600Mhz Gold 8-8-8-24
GPU:HD5850 1GB
PSU: Seasonic M12D 750W Case: Coolermaster HAF932(aka Dusty)
Since the IMC and GFX is now integrated in the CPU, the VT-d support is now split between CPU (DMA, Memory, GFX) and PCH (HDA, SATA, USB, GbE, APIC, HPET..)
just thinking.. if the 2500 is ~$215(?) & is better than i7-920.. what will happen to the price of 2nd hand i7 CPUs?

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.Anand mentions 4 and 6 cores on LGA2011 in Q4, without IGP. No 8 cores though.
