If you call Anandtech independent! ;)
Anandtech is a good site but when a product is going against an Intel product he will always find ways to make Intel's products seem like the better buy. However in this case I don't think he will need to try too hard!
 
I was hoping BD would have come out a bit sooner, I was going to decide on that or a SB ready for BF3, depending on which was better pound for pound but didn't want to wait out much longer and already went SB.

Even if the performance initially looks a bit lackluster at least it may have helped drive down prices of Intel chips before I did buy!

For high end gaming it seems to me that Sandybridge is clearly the best choice. 4 cores will be sufficient for a couple of years yet I think.

I don't game, and I need as many cores as I can get. So x6 or bulldozer for me though.

Seriously, if you need as many threads as you can get, then go for the 2600k. This isn't a troll or anything.

Are we thinking BD will be competively priced? One of my 775 mobos has died and I am now thinking of building a cheap amd quad core rig to replace it!
 
I went for the 2500k. BD is a completely new design and only 1st gen. I'll let other people beta test it. I only usually buy the 2nd improved gen.
 
Im a bit late in here and iim about to do a build, long story short should i go 8 core bull or i5 for a bit of everything not just gaming? thanks, jordy
