In detail: there were two reasons to wait for P55, USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gbps, none seems to show up anytime soon, while I7 920/X58 is becoming very cheap, probably cheaper than any Lynnfield/P55 combo at launch..

Don't worry kids, AMD will still manage to mess it up somehow. Or maybe they'll make up for it by making their USB controller even worse somehow. And the newly included gigabit ethernet on the southbridge (finally)? You just know they're going to foul that up too, somehow.

I'm more than a little dissapointed that Intel didn't have SATA 6Gb/s in theirP55 southbridge. Maybe it would be a bad move since x58 doesn't either but it's got to come out first somewhere. Most likely I'll wait until 32nm and whatever chipset is out then anyway...P65 I guess?
