Sandy bridge shoots it self in the foot with the integrated PCI-e controller (just like annandale). Its a high end cpu with very limited I/O options. Making a high end board with Sandy Bridge is an oxymoron. High end platforms need flexible and large bandwidth not unlike a server platform. Socket 1366 was good platform and X58 chipset deserves a replacement. AMD has a really strong opening if they can release their desktop bulldozer with 880FX/990FX (most advanced, highest bandwidth desktop chipset in the market right now). At the super high end, pci-e bandwidth matters and connectivity options matter even more so than raw cpu speed.Edited 1 time(s). Last edit by shank15217 on Jan 7 at 10:34 PM.


I don't know; looking and SB and looking at BD I kinda liking BD better:

Clearly two obvious errors for SB; the onchip gpu and the onchip pci-e.

Look at the pics of the BD architecture; just as stright forward as can be.

Also the first BD's will be out in April; lets see what the situation is by March.
