Leaked Intel roadmap details Sandy Bridge CPUs, expands SSD lineup?

On the processor front things are a little more iffy, but it seems safe to say that the naming scheme has changed, as the silicon wafers you'll slot into a Q67 Express motherboard will have an extra digit (and often a letter) affixed to the end. Instead of a Core i7-870, you'll see the likes of Core i7-2600, i7-2600S, i7-2600K and i5-2500T, with the K (as in the past) affording you an unlocked multiplier for overclocking and the S equaling reduced power consumption, or vastly reduced for the T models. German publication ComputerBase -- which found and subsequently pulled the slides -- somehow managed to dig up nearly full specs for desktop and laptop CPUs as well, and though we can't verify their legitimacy, you're welcome to marvel at the idea of a 3.5GHz processor running on just 35 watts by visiting the source link below.

So that this mean I should wait for Sandy Bridge to come out?
Anybody knows if Sandy is worth the wait? -- Compared to Nehalem
@keplenk
Since this is from haifa who designed conroe/merom, it should be good. Especially for laptops where nehalem is found wanting when it comes to battery life. SB will show huge improvements on that front. Plus quad core notebooks will become mainstream for sure.
I`m all for Sandy Bridge...as long as it`s not a bridge to nowhere !
I'm so hot for sandy bridge right now....
300 and 600GB SSDs...
Thats getting rather close to the typical size of laptop HDs, especially 7200RPM drives.
The sweet spot is going to be when first manufactor can make large SSD cost the same as same size hard drive. If any manufactor could do this, Intel is the one.
Then hard drives will be obsolete.
Why does Glen Brook go from 40 to 80 then back to 40?
