I was not talking about the SB, was just saying in general...

It seems its only the "K" series that can be OCed, others have been artificially limited to some 4.1GHz...when are these gonna release anyway ?

oh my lord. The 2600k beats all i7's flatout and the thubans are left chewing the dust even in video encoding tasks. When overclocked on air with intel stock cooler, it reached 4.3ghz and challenged the mighty i7 980x and even beat it in a few tests.

Considering this as a midrange part, just imagine guys what intel has on its sleeve.

These processors also have the new AVX instruction set which outperforms the competion in media transcoding tasks.

@OP
I think you got your answer. No one in right mind will go for i7 1366 when 2600K available....

Oh man, the K series OC like hell. No more BCLK. Not happy with them creating special OC parts though at different price points. But I guess it would be difficult with the unified internal clock nwo.

Guys check out the anandtech review of sandybridge. The 2600k and 2500k are simply bludgeoning the competition.

Refer this and please comment guys.

No Offence....

are you so much in hurry.. well you can buy i7 950 (Which is purely waste of money looking at 2600K).... It's not like you are updating from i7 920 to 950.. You are completely buying new system ,right?

ALL THE BEST with i7 950....

They will be available before this month ending I would say atleast within 20 days....
