Almost unbelievably high performance. Better than the X58 by 15%+ in every test. Also it can apparently be overclocked to near 5 ghz on the stock air cooler. Makes me glad I didn't buy an i7-950, I'd be kicking myself hard right now.

 

yah, but the X58 has a version II as well...they are comparing SB to X58 version I
and my prices beat their's

 

Should have posted this in Tech News!!

 

The i7-870 and the i5-655K aren't X58. It's P55.

 

damn forget Sandy Bridge.. Jelly got some explicit av right there..

 

seriously Jelly..... avatar is softcore porn! and did you really need to quote fear's text?

 

Fixed The quote anyways Anyway, back on topic. I like what I'm seeing for LGA 1155, especially the mobile ones. But considering how I made a new computer during the summer, I'm going to at least hold off till LGA-2011.

 

AMD are also gonna be releasing their Bulldozer cpus this year i think

 

why did i have to get a core i7 1366 so soon..

 

finally get rid of the bug.. I think i will wait it to stabilize a bit..

 

i7-1156 are slower...with support of dual channel...these are meant for gamers thou...triple channel beats dual channels

the bug is fixed...no need to wait as Apple is on full force on it already on its product line...apple stuff are now powered by intel...LOL

 

i just overclocked my i7 920 d0 to 4.5 ghz but i'll be keeping it at 4.0... ya know how it compares to the latest sandy bridge as in performance? like would there be a big difference when its overclocked at 4.0 vs a regular sandy bridge at stock speeds?

 

I haven't seen many comparisons between SB and the bloomfield processors. Mainly because SB is a refresh of lynnfield. For encoding video and whatnot I think your 920 is still better because of the triple channel memory.
