One review? ... Yoda tells me that we need to let the force do its work... give it at least a month in the REAL world and lets see results from homes where PC's are wedged into desks and we will see where the limit settles :cool:
 
so just to clarify, the ivybridge won't oc as well as sandybridge as it gets heat problems, is only marginally better, is only more compatible memory-wise and has pci 3.0 which no one needs at the moment, and will be more expensive than a 2600k?

seems like a no brainer to me, ivybridge has many great selling points. i may as well get a frigging bulldozer.
 
Where are you guys getting these prices? I haven't managed to come across any prices - nor found anyone offering these CPUs for sale at all.

Hopefully, all will be revealed here on Sunday when the processors are released for sale.

2600k's around £220-30 and will surely drop further when IB is finally released.

Not sure where you're getting your prices from, but from this site the 2600s are £230 and the 2600Ks are £250. But yes you are right, there will be a price drop.

I think he/she just Googled it, I did it just now and got the guestimate of £240 starting price. But yeah, all will be revealed soon, exciting stuff :)
 
Blimey. I've never known for any item's price to be shrouded in such mystery.
Typically, weeks/months before release, the trade price (per 1000 units), is released on the internet.

Good point. With other stuff - graphics cards say - we ge the chance to pre-order before they are released. Some people would like to do this with the Ivys. There must be something odd about the NDA that stops this I suppose.
