Sandy Bridge E and Socket 2011 motherboards coming yet?

[jewie27]

With the latest news of Intel's Sandy Bridge E series processors due to release on November 15th, why haven't we seen any new motherboards on the market yet? They showed them at Computex 2011 but November is only 2 months from now. Is Asus releasing an ROG edition socket 2011 board? I might be interested in a socket 2011 board and Intel I7-3930X instead of getting the Crosshair V Formula and FX 8 Core cpu; depending on the benchmarks.

the benchmark, lol AMD is targeting Sandy Bridge the new 2011 is supose to be 46% more performing than a Sandy Bridge, but it will not be cheap of course

I already have enough for the new $500 Intel cpu and motherboard ready to go. Just want to know when the new boards are coming out from Asus.

We will have boards at launch - cant say what models just yet.

AMD/Intel war is about to heat up, eh?

$500 is not by any means getting you an extreme cpu. Even the current 990X costs more than my truck for the cpu alone, the new one will likely cost more. Hell even the top ROG intel board costs more than your $500 budget.

However $500 WILL get you a CHV and a bulldozer.

jaytheredneck , don't sell the fur of the bear before have kill it , We know nothing of Dozer ............ aside it's an Intel tread so go make your AMD fanboyish stuff elsewhere please. We are talking about real stuff here. A side until proof than I’m wrong a 2500k and 2600k is more powerful than a Dozer in many application, example; games don’t need more than 3 cores , And a nice GeneZ with a 2500k will cost way more ….. Also Intel will not only release Extreme Edition, they will have more affordable CPU that fit socket 2011, Jewie is talking about a $ 500 CPU not a CPU and a Board, and not an Extreme, with $ 500, chance are he will fine a socket 2011 CPU that fit his taste. What was the price of the i7-920 at release ?????

[Jaytheredneck1]

Nothing Fanboyish here, it's his money if he wants to flush it thats up to him. I just think it's a horrible waste of money to pay double and not receive double the performance. Also OP made no mention of any k series cpu. He wants an extreme, which currently does not come for less than $1k, and there is no expectation of the next gen X to be any less costly. And YOU introduced cost into the conversation, which prompted OP to say he has $500 for it, he also did make mention of needing board + cpu, probably because they do go hand in hand.

BTW you contradicted yourself, "don't sell the fur of the bear before have kill it , We know nothing of Dozer" and then "A side until proof than I’m wrong a 2500k and 2600k is more powerful than a Dozer in many application"

I can do that too, see? Until I'm proven wrong, Jesus wore a cheese hat on sundays to support his favorite team, the greenbay packers. Judas was a Bears fan, which is why he turned him in.

Ya you right I just read his first post...

Well a i7-3930x for $ 500 , you are dreaming Jewie27 .......

Anyway as far as I'm concern I will have a 2011 extreme edition + a Dozer , but I don't expect to much from Dozer, I know it will probably finish as VM server.

Well , they may have kill the bear today :
