SANDY BRIDGE

Hi all ok at first i was really annoyed that i needed to purchase a new mobo to run sandy bridge. I was seriously thinking about getting the 1100T amd processors...........

Thats until i saw how much their mainstream-estimated 200 dollar processor trounced the 1090T.
Its sad that we will have to wait till 2nd half of 2011 for our 8/16 processor and im thinking it will be at 980x prices but who cares............16 threads wooooohooooo

I really think amd will be in trouble with bulldozer unless they sell them at 200-300 dollars but i read somewhere that they tend to sell their cpu at 50 dollars per core

Anyway four weeks to go cant wait to start adding more nodes to the render farm
