[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	http://www.anandtech.com/show/5475/intel-releases-seven-sandy-bridge-cpus Of course I just bought a Core i5 2500K and then I see a headline that Intel has released it's successor a Core i5 2550K, along with a 2450P and 2380P. But on closer examination, it seems I'm not missing out on nothing. All three processors have a very modest 100MHz increase over their slightly cheaper counter parts, 2500K, 2400, and 2320 models, along with a slightly more expensive price tag (a few bucks). It's not certain what the "P" in the model number signifies (the "K" is an unlocked model). But VR-Zone believes all three models don't include a GPU. -----signature----- (none)

	So no difference. I might be an idiot and upgrade to Ivy Bridge in April from my 2500k. If I do, it is only to stick my existing 2500k into my HTPC though, otherwise not worth it. -----signature----- I survived to the end and got nothing out of it, but hey.
