Blogs bit-tech is testing Sandy Bridge

wait, you are overclocking those K chips or normal ones?

LGA2011, sounds suspicious, in 2012, would it be LGA2012?

The CPU isn't the interesting part here... What is of the most interest is the improved IGP.

If the numbers earlier provided by Anandtech stay true, then the IGP will be sufficient enough for what I'm doing on my PC.

mini-ITX-board, Intel Core i5 2400 with Prolimatech Samuel 17, 8GB RAM, 150 Watt picoPSU, 1xSSD for system, 1x 2.5" HDD for storage... powerful and totally silent system in an enclosure with only 4 to 5 liters

ASRock SandyBridge mainboards... Look at the miniITX in the last picture!

 

I'm certain everyone will have a mini-ITX H67 board this time around.

 

Cute!

 

Hmm so i7 now or wait and see what Sandy Bridge is like? I'm so impatient.

 

And if I/we pick the right one would you ask me(us): how empty is my(our) life?! *evilgrin*

Anyway... Not really interested with LGA1155. X58 platform is very price competitive ATM, and much more future proof solution.

 

Obviously the word obviously is used too much in this article, obviously

Looking forward to the published benchmark scores...

 

So is it a good idea for me to get memory now or wait for release and if so should I stick to duel channel?.

 

Ps could do a article on pre parts buys

 

I have also concluded my first round of sandy bridge benchmarking, though i'm still waiting for a K-model to land on my desk

And yes, i'm also under NDA, so no, you will not get the results from me.
I can give you this old link though:

Read that lat night can I have one of yours ks

 

any one have any idea on when the 8cores will be released?

 

I'm totally gonna count pins - just to b certain which.


I'm due an upgrade but I've been holding off for 1155/2011 - although now I think about it, 2011 will probably be too expensive for me.

I think I'd rather have a decent 1155 CPU + high end mobo, than a budget 2011 board.

 

Can I ask what range of motherboards you're reviewing? In other words will it be from uber cheap to uber expensive? I have a friend that's wanting to build a comp so it'll probably be sandy bridge, I'd just like to know if there's gonna be any cheap boards reviewed ^_^

 

@storm20200 I've never seen red rep before, what's that supposed to mean???

Anyway, cool!!! I look forward to indepth reviews of SB once it gets released. Also thanks for condensing all the links bindi.

 

How is it more future proof? 1366 is an end-of-life socket due for replacement in six months, and with no new chips coming out. 1155 is just about to arrive and should have several years of life before being discontinued.

 

It means I'm that awesome admins know who I am!....not really.

Actually bindi bowed to my awesomeness and gave me all his rep as a gift which he then took back, edited my sig and turned me red ^_^. We have history me and bind

 

I am very much looking forward to this as well, been hoping to replace my aging E6850 rig for quite a while now

 

anyone else notice the blatant bias towards this "bit-tech" site for all his supporting information? i mean, come on man...be a little less obvious...i bet you work for those guys...
