Nice post Gunslinger, do you think the win7 program..Windows Experience Index tells you anything concrete or is it more of a suggestion? I am 7.4,7.4,7.5,6.9 (and 5.9 HD )

ummh ... with the current Sandy Bridge lineup Intel released their midrange CPU's.

The high performance (8 core larger cache faster clock) Sandy Bridge CPU's and the supporting chipsets for them are not due out until Q3.

The really interesting comparison will be between those and the AMD Bulldozer lineup.

Ivy Bridge is the name for the 22nm 8 core processors due out Q3. They are rumoured to use the same LGA 1155 socket as Sandy Bridge though.

Intel is focused on making smaller and smaller chips, because they perceive the market is moving faster and faster towards mobile devices for all usages.

Bulldozer ...

"AMD FX-series central processing unit (CPUs) powered by the Bulldozer micro-architecture will be fully able to rival Core i7 2600-series chips."

It will be interesting to see what these chips will do.
