No buddy , no info yet on the k models. They should be priced at a 2k premium than normal ones.
Don't you think i7 2600 has the potential to outdo the bloomfields? How about comparing with amd thuban?

Back to school!!
Sandy bridge can and will outdo bloomfields and thubans easily(bulldozer is sandy's competition but will go for price vs performance as I believe bulldozers would not be able to match Sandy performance) but will you spend 15k on a cpu that can never oc?? I have an E8400 which is hopelessly outdated but I can OC it to 4GHz easily on air(cm hyper tx cooler is good enough) and still go for another year or so, with no oc potential your CPU will die an early death, so get sandy k models. A sandy 2600k was shown to get 5ghz on air, now that's outstanding, that's the kind of oc ln2 is supposed to get on nehalems and older architecture, sandy's will gladly go to 4.5Ghz+ on air, so will you let go of this opportunity?
A 4.5Ghz+ quad core 2600k matches 980x in performance and beats it in some tests, so forget bloomfield or thuban, sandy bridge is a beast on its own.

Imagine what an Oc'ed 4Ghz+ sandy bridge can do.

I think sandy bridge ( read K series one as they can be OCed only ) will outperform any similarly priced current cpu and another good thing is it consumes less voltage and power too so it will run cooler and because of snady bridge amd hexa core cpu prices are going down by every week. Now you can bag a hexa core cpu from amd for as low as 7.5k ( got this info from cilus ).

@ topgear
You are absolutely correct buddy. In fact amd hex cores can be bagged for as low as 6.8k and will reduce further.
Yeah thats the price of a 1055t as informed by cilus. So within 10k one can purchase an amd hexcore, mobo. Perfect time for prospective buyers to upgrade.

all sandy bridge CPU and mobo will have on-board graphics ?
I need to build gaming PC but have delayed it. cauz i need a quad core CPU and mobo with on-board graphics. I am planning to buy graphics card after 3 months.
2nd reason: if there is any issue with gfx card , atleast i can start the PC if mobo has on-board gfx.
plz confirm.

Yes, all sandy bridge cpus have graphics core, but only the H series(H67) chipset will support that graphics core, P67 will not support it.
Also note that the graphics core is different in different cpus, k series CPU(2600k/2500k) has 3000 series while the rest has 2000 series gpus which are a bit slower than the former.

What would Nehru place people know about things that are upcoming? They won't even know what Sandy Bridge is. They only have knowledge of things that have been officially launched in india

Time to upgrade my PC. Yay!
How much would a decent p67 mobo cost?
And what is the price of AMD 6950 right now? I will need two of those. I have heard that they can be unlocked to 6970's core count. Is it possible for all model or is it hit-or-miss? Because if it isn't guaranteed I would go for another 5850 instead and save some money.

This should give you a fair idea :
ASUS Full ATX Intel P67 Chipset Motherboards :
P8P67 ~$160
P8P67 PRO ~190
P8P67 EVO ~210
P8P67 Deluxe ~235
SABERTOOTHP67 ~$219
P8P67 WS SC ~$259
Maximus IV Extreme ~$365
ASUS Micro-ATX Intel P67 and H67 Chipset Motherboards :
P8P67-M PRO ~$149
P8H67-M EVO ~$129
ASUS Mini-ITX Intel P67 and H67 Chipset Motherboards
P8H67-I Deluxe (Price is yet to be determined.)
From here
So far everyone has succeeded in bios moding a HD6950 into a HD6970 but amd is going to release newer version of HD6950 which can't be unlocked into a HD6970. So if you want a HD6970 at HD6950 price you should hurry up. Most of the chances you will be able to mod it into HD6970.
BTW, A powercolor/sapphire HD6950 should cost you around 17.5K.
These seems really interesting. Thanks for the price updates.

You do not want an H67 based board if you want to OC -- after reading their review / info properly, the H67s will not allow OCing at all, but will make use of the onboard video output. What you want is a P67 board, which will allow OCing but will not have onboard video output.

Yeah and cilus bought it for me at that price. My uncle will use it as his old supercomp psu went kaput. He had purchased that a year back for 500 bucks.
