Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 2400, 2500K, and Core i7 2600K @ PureOverclock

Are you on the fence trying to figure out which upgrade route to go? Perhaps the new Core i5, or i7 is your ticket

"These new Sandy Bridge chips are monsters, make no mistake. And 1155 is not a step backwards from 1156; in fact, it's quite a leap ahead in terms of performance. We've got locked and unlocked chips, Core i5 and i7 on the bench today: 2400, 2500K, and 2600K. These chips run the gamut of the performance lineup, and they're performance monsters."

These new chips are promising, posting better scores then most of the mainstream offerings. But then again you're stuck having to use a multiplier to overclock. Subzero temperatures won't help you out either. Leaving you the question, "Do you jump now, or wait for socket 2011 and its familiar overclocking?".
