What's New?
Pricing remains surprisingly stable since our last update. That's fair enough; there really isn't any reason we'd expect movement, since Intel's Sandy Bridge architecture is still pretty new, and AMD has little to compete with it above the $130 mark. Frankly, Intel will probably stay pretty quiet without compelling competition, and we may not see any significant new products from the company until its LGA 2011 interface arrives in Q4 2011.
