Queries regarding Sandy Bridge

[Imperial_Raj]

I have been strolling through many of the PC configuration related threads, and, found one thing in common : anyone going in for a new configuration is adviced to wait and go for Sandy Bridge. This struck me of this idea of starting a thread where I'd have my queries, related to this new processor family, cleared. So here are the questions I'd like to ask:
Q1. What would be the performance increments over the current Core-i family? Would that be really significant?
Q2. I have read that H67 Motherboards don't let you overclock the CPU. Does that mean very limited overclocking or simply no overclocking at all?
Q3. Does the non-overclock hurdle of H67 motherboards affect the turbo-boost capability of a processor?
Q4. Do anyone of you have a definite word on the pricing of the 2nd generation of Core-i lineup of processors?
Thanks a lot and hope this questionnaire turns out pretty useful for others too. Hoping for the best.....................!!!

Ans1 - Yes they have significant increments over their predecessors and competition.

Ans2 - No, overclocking cpu is not possible at all in h67.

Ans3 - No, it doesn't

Ans4 - Its gonna get clear next week

I am waiting for the answer to Question 4

Vickysaab you are a geek regarding Sandy Bridge.

Also let me add that the on chip GPU in Sandy Bridge is available in pricier ones and not entry level ones.

If you can spend some amount on an external card that is better.

The K series will cost around $300 to $400 it all depends on the middleman.

where you found this?

a cheaper AMD config + a mainstream graphics card is always better but than price will go up too.

The K series will cost around $300 to $400 it all depends on the middleman.

K-series is for those who wants to OC. for others, spend that extra 1k getting the next higher binned chip.

jerin onboard graphics are available in all and are better than any current onboard graphics!!
imperial raj check hardware prices thread. SNB is out.

I was talking about the upcoming releases in Q3 of 2011
Sandy Bridge (microarchitecture) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are CPU's without GPU in SandyBridge series.

Also HD2000 is just about o.k , while HD3000 is better according to Anand. But the cost factor for the latter is killing.

it is the performance CPU (same as Core i7 9**). they won't have any graphics.
