I thought intel had already stated that they would have Fully unlocked IB-E chips with TDP over 130W?
Are they going back on that now?
Maybe there will be chips that have them enabled and chips that dont?
SBE Has more Lanes from the processor, and the PLX chips add latency to the PCIE bus.
Also, Scaling on the 7970s is almost 99% (at least i know it is for two cards, ive seen it myself, not sure about more though, youd have to ask karlitos or TSM)

Ivy bridge E is the SAME architecture as Ivy Bridge. How many times do we have to tell you that. According to this article you're not even going to get 8 core chips let alone 10 so someone remind me again why i would even consider 2011?
