^got it

 

[Skyh3ck]

Expecting sandy bridge price to reduce one E and ivy bridge are released....

So at least I can think about i7......

 

[JojoTheDragon]

Ivybridge simply is a die shrink of sandybridge with improved cache and better integrated gpu.

Sandybridge-E are top of the line enthusiast grade lineup with core level improvements and better peripheral interconnects.

Sandy-E for socket 2011 will also get 22nm treatment similar to ivybridge next year. Currently, it uses 32nm fabrication.

SB-E = LGA 2011
SB & Ivy bridge = LGA 1155

SB-E is the enthusiast version of SB..
Ivy bridge is the next gen. to SB...

Thanks for the info. Checkout out some news about it and I'm very excited for the 1st time since c2q release.

Nice to see the AMD logo on an Intel board, particularly in these times.

 

[vickybat]

^^ There's also the nvidia logo. Good to see both sli and cf support just like the legendary x58. This will be one heck of a platform for sure.

 

[topgear]

yep, looks good to me and nice to see three rival logos

side by side

It has to be standard. This is a quad channel platform.

among all of the above I liked Angled 24 pin power connector of EVGA X79 FTW and the layout of Gigabyte X79-UD7 most

^^ nice find - the smallest heatsink I've seen so far on any X79 mobo FoxConn should really think about make it a bit large.
