Here we have the brand new LGA1366 socket with its 1366 contact points. We counted, they're all there. As you can see the whole socket features a sturdy bolt-thru design.
Seriously?

Wow MAC well done. Makes me tempted really. $300 processor beating out an $1700 processor.

X58 boards also look solid.. Great review Sir.. *salute*

EDIT: Oops, whatever SKY says is the truth, so I must have counted them all.


Thanks for the compliments.

We were a little constrained time & benchmark wise, so if you guys have anything you would like us to run, feel free to post it here and we'll see what we can do.

^ link to page with dead link.
The link to this post at the end of the review is broken, or I am

Apart from one broken link well done. Looking forward to the overclocking review.

Can I say that I'm not really impressed yet?

I know these suckers are brand new and supposed to be all that.. but I think they are still going to have a ways to go before really proving themselves.

Good review tho.
