the i7 2600K ($317) outperforms the $1,000 plus i7 975 and over-clocks better

They could have released something that performs that well two years ago at that price, and profited, if only there had been competition. I view this as a great price drop but no significant advance in CPU tech.


It might not be a major advancement, but the quad core performance about match the six-cores. I'm wondering what the performance of a six core sandy bridge will be like.

Still really I was never to excited about sandy bridge, hence why I bought my i7-950. If I remember right its the next "tick" in the chart that will be really nice, which should be Intel first new 28nm CPU versus a scale down of sandy bridge to 28nm. So by the time I'm ready to upgrade my CPU, and mobo, four years should pass.
