Today we bring you a preview covering Sandy Bridge-E processors and X79 based motherboards. An update to the true high-end six-core processor series aimed at consumers. A processor based on 32nm technology that comes with most of the bells and whistles we have learned to like and love of the current Sandy Bridge processor generation.

Head on over to the next page where we'll discuss Sandy-Bridge-E processors, the respective models. We'll also have a chat about the X79 motherboard and chipset and then will throw a decent photo-shoot and benchmark suite at the products.

UPDATE: sorry guys at the request of Intel this article had to be revised and all MSI related info was stripped away.
