What happened to Intel G3 SSDs being released in Feb 2011?

The only selling point of these things could potentially be the price, since performance is not up to par anyway (SATA 2, ugh). Sad to see that Intel seems to have dropped the ball completely with its lates SSD offerings.

But as per my previous post, they are not even going to have a price advantage based on what I have seen thus far.

Yes, all signs point to that, which is why I said they'd dropped the ball. Still, some resellers may adjust their prices as these drives reach wide availability. I'm certainly not holding my breath, though.

Seems like Intel is conceding this year to Sandforce. Back to the drawing board, I say!

Agreed - I might even just get a cheap G2.

Now seeing X25-V - G3 product code and 25nm - 300GB for £415. Confused?

Full review already up on Tom's Hardware:

Still no official announcement from Intel AFAIK!

Seems like the G3 is not worth the upgrade from a G2 series, just by looking at the real world benchmarks (not the synthetic ones).
