  1. Wow, those are mega processors. have to get me one

  2. Great article and they really are good improvements. poor amd 🙁

  3. These are certainly impressive, especially considering the price points they have achieved, which I certainlyw asnt expecting.

  4. Compared to the last generation they have certainly delivered much faster processors. I wasnt expecting such huge gains

  5. That ASRock fatal1ty board looks stunning doesnt it ? Very impressive overall platform from everyone involved.

  6. Thumbs up from me. waiting in line like everyone else for my chip now 🙂

  7. Those intel boards are really nice designs, they seem to getting better and better as the years and releases continue.

  8. Well I had almost bought a 1100T from AMd, and now I really don’t know what to do 🙁 these are so damn good and the price points are excellent. the 1100T costs around the same as the 2600K and it wont really go past 4.3ghz.

  9. There is a clear reason Intel are market leaders, and this is a good showcase of why.

  10. Excellent, count me in when I get the funds up.

  11. AMD need to answer this with something good in 2011, but I am not sure they can anymore. I remember the good old days of FX processors when they led the way. whatever happened 🙁

  12. not that much faster than the 2010 core cpu’s people who say they are are complete idiots on avg perormance increase is about 10%

  13. Francis, you’re completely wrong, it’s not that much faster at all, it’s anywhere between -5( meaning slower) to +10 as john already stated
