-Core i5 750 and i7 860

While you are correct at the above chips being awesome chips, his point still stands about the unlocked chips. But then again due to the design of the current sandy bridge chips, I don't think they had any choice but to release the K chips at cheap prices, otherwise the enthusiasts would be pissed.
