Cherryville - SSD 520

Here you go, this is before those performance slides were even "leaked" or whatever you'd wanna call it:

It has also been confirmed to me, so I am very confident in what I know regarding this If you choose still not to believe me, just wait until the begining of next year from the best confirmation that can be had.

I read a translation of the blurb from your link. Maybe it loses something in the translation, but that is not even close to a confirmation:

"Now it appears that Intel gets help from a not so expected direction. According to documents Sweclockers noted the 520-series contains a controller chip from SandForce,"

According to documents? What documents? From where? How are these documents known to be genuine?

Now, if you have the information from someone who you are sure has inside information (but you cannot reveal that person's identity), then just say so. Otherwise, you are just repeating rumors and speculation.

By the way, my best guess is that Intel will be using a controller that uses compression, and the only controller that I know of that currently uses compression is Sandforce. But that is just a guess. I certainly do not claim to have any "confirmation", and I would not be surprised either way (520 with or without Sandforce).
