Sandy Bridge Now Available Online
Most power users know that to get the best prices they should look online rather than in a brick-and-mortar store (except if you’re on the west coast and have Fry’s nearby). Well for those of you who’ve been waiting, Intel’s Sandy Bridge processors are now available online. There are seven variations, some end with an S (which means 65W instead of 95W), some with a K (unlocked), and if you see some with a T that means 45W for quad-core or 35W for dual-core.
