the i5-3450 @ 3.2Ghz/3.5Ghz(turbo), while having a TDP of 77Watts in comparison to sandy bridge i5's TDP of 95Watts.

I hope they release a 6 core for the Ivy bridge. Ivy is the third generation for the Core-i family if I'm correct.
kitamesume:
yes its the 3rd gen, and ivy is the first 22nm processor.
and they will release a 6core, though on socket LGA2011.
haswell is rumored to have 8cores.
vuzedome:
And they say my old i5-750 is getting old. This baby will last another 2 years or even more before I need an upgrade.

SATAIII SSDs of recent models have a max read/write speed of 500MB/s, some are even faster.
also to note, SSDs only has <1ms seek time, while mechanical HDDs will have >1ms seek time even if you set it to a raid array.
and i don't think you can set raids on partitions, you need whole HDDs for them to work properly.

Who cares about read speeds you'll only achieve rarely - it's the access time and speed when operating on small files that count. And here SSDs, even cheap ones, outperform HDDs by several magnitudes.
I have switched to an SSD, many of my friends did, and we all agree that nothing will give you such a performance boost.

Up to 8 cores. What's more than parallel processing, hyper-threading and unlocked multiplier features?
I'm looking to build a low-spec computer with Core i3, 4G Ram, cheap video card ... and put all that shit inside an Aquarium and fill it with baby oil. I'm gonna decorate the aquarium from inside and make it look nice with blue lights ... mmm.
