So we might see high end/extreme sandybridge 2H 2012? I keep thinking its a long time to wait, then I realize we're in 2011, lol.

Is the 2i7-2600k a shrink (22nm?)?
Its not a "2", its an underlined ">" So not a die shrink. The die shrink is coming with Ivy Bridge iirc.

As for the board options for X79, I'd guess board manufacturers will add features just like they did with X58.
