Sandy Bridge CPU (next gen Intel)
 

are they going to give up the tri-channel memory setup? or it will only be available in i7 lineup like the current gen or quad-channel like some sites claim?
:drool

just wonder

Can someone in the know school me on the new Sandy Bridge thing?

Other than standard onboard graphics on all sandy bridge processors (Which is useless for people who want to run discrete graphics cards), are there any other major benefits to the new architecture? I'm talking deal breaker features that the current nehalem processors don't have?

i wouldn't call onboard graphics useless.
over the summer it was so hot and it was great to be able to take out my block heater video card when i didn't need it

another new socket? :(

^ yes, socket 1155, new motherboard, new cpu, new heatsink.
