first review i seen, neoseeker. http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/Intel_i7_2600K_i5_2500K/ the i5 2500k looks fairly useful. Overclocking looks interesting. Will be a fair upgrade from say an i7 920, but not so much from the later chips like the 950. However the 2600K does pretty much make the old i7 920-970 line obsolete for new builds * +

i can only see there Socket LGA 1156.. so how can that be upgrade to i7 920 which is on LGA 1366 ? i aint gonna change board for that lol(think) * +

2600k will outdo everything bar the 980X judging by the scores 
and the apparent pricing makes it a no brainer. Really want to see the IGP performance though and the video encoding abilities tested a bit more. The IGP could eliminate the need for the low end market of discrete cards in HTPCs * +

heh.. should i also invest into another board just to upgrade CPU ? nah... i7 920 will do the job for some time... also on second PC i7 860 will also do its job... this Sandy is cool for users who will just buy new pc.. but i doubt its really worth for upgrade ? * +

Yeah guru3d has some great benchies showing the processors with AVX for video encoding. It is epically fast as intel promised. Beats even the CUDA setups using a GTX580..... * +
