Agreed. I haven't a clue on what their plans are, if they even have any, or how long they plan to keep the i3/5/7 series on the market. Would like some info!

The Core i5-655K seems quite nice, but it all depends on the price tag. If they can outperform AMD Black Edition dual-cores while still maintaining a competitive price I really see no reason to go with AMD anymore.

Hopefully Thuban will perform good. It might just hit the sweetspot when it comes to price/performance ratio.

We'll have to wait and see I guess.
