Gahh their naming scheme is annoying.
Though I suppose it isn't a huge change from current i5/i7's.

Don't they run on a new socket?

Now you know how I feel about ATI Radeon video card designations. Come to think of it, their damned AMD CPU numbers too. (Although not nearly as much).

@DBZ: The website you linked to should seriously consider renaming the , "Click to Read English Version" button, to the, "Click to Read the Sort of English Version".

It's Engrish. :haha:

Whats with the K's? Are they mobile variants or something?

I knoooowwww! I was guessing, "kilos", or maybe, "Kelvin". Or a better guess, "unlocked", (which strangely doesn't begin with a "K").

 

[dividebyzero]

Aye, K for unlocked multiplier....kind of fits in with the rest of the naming nomenclature...X for Extreme, S and U for low voltage, H and Q for IGP inclusive motherboard. Simple really...if you happen to have an Enigma machine handy.

Really want to see some benchmarks because I'm ready to build a new system.

@JMMD
They aren't official, and it's in Googlish, but this should give some insight into what SB is capable of.

Awesome, thanks for the chart!
