Sandy Bridge E Launch Day Round Up Redux

Published: | Posted By:

Intel launched the X79 chipset "yesterday" with a few sites having reviews ready for the launch.  November 15 marks the day processors are available with a slightly higher pricetag that what was expected.  (Likely due to price gouging and early adoption fees)

X editions are currently selling for $1050 with the K editions coming in at $600  Prices will likely drop but not until sometime after the new year.

With much pain from my pocketbook I have an X edition on the way. Hopefully it is a good one.
