Sandy Bridge Articles on AnandTech

hahaha! You can't possibly be in the tech world without knowing that at the speed technology advances at, stuff is going to be somewhat obsolete by the time it hits the market. Use what you have till it breaks, then buy what seems good at the time. If you don't do that, you will go insane.
On a different note, it seems like we are not going to be getting mobile quadcores in the MBPs any time soon. I think we might see mobile Qcores in the MBPs about 2-4 yrs down the line, when the next architecture change is due, after Ivy Bridge.

your post = Moores law.
oh and what your saying about mobile quad cores, ivy bridge...

i cant get why the sandy bridge is running at 100Mhz bus speed, running at 1200Mhz on this i7, acording to CPU-X

that is because of intel turbo boost i think. it only scales as performance is needed. so it won't be using the full power all the time. the 100mhz is the base 1x step multiplier. it says it has 31 multipliers so it ends up being as fast as 3.1 ghz.
 
don't think so, shows 31x multiplier in use.
unlike cpu-x cpu-z dynamically changes to display current state.
 
I admit I'm excited about Sandy Bridge.. but I'm worried as to when we'll see these in macs. From the roadmap it looks as if these processors will be available around Q1-Q2 2011. I guess "available" means "first unit starts to ship".. For an actor like Apple, that needs several million chips, they would probably have to wait a bit to get the supply they need. Also, Apple don't usually incorporate steaming fresh technology in their computers - it seems they usually wait a bit (to get enough supply, wait for the prices to go down or whatever). It seems to me we can expect MBP's with sandy bridge at the very earliest at the end of 2011 🙁. I hope I'm wrong.

Partners (Dell, HP, Apple etc etc) get first dibs on chips, as always. "Available" refers to consumer availability.
