thats a big old speed bump between the 8120 and 8150. I presume they will fill that 0.5ghz gap with some later versions

just the turbo speeds to disclose now

I wonder how much they're going to be. I hope the lowest 8 core model will be the same (or lower!) than the 2600k

I guess that depends on how quick they are compared to Sandy Bridge.

I can't see the 8 core version being cheaper than Sandy Bridge though - if it's slower in multi-core benchmarks (which is the only reason you'd get one) then AMD will have seriously cocked up!
