| yes, why buy a faster processor that may cost a little more. the mainstream will probably be price competitive.

You're looking at the mainstream Sandy Bridge-DT, designed to replace the Clarkdale and Lynnfield (i3, i5, and low-end i7) processors. The performance "Sandy Bridge B2" will have 6-8 cores (+HT), 40 PCIe lanes (v3.0 support), much wider QPI interface (vs. the DMI on Sandy Bridge-DT), quadruple-channel RAM (not dual or triple, but 4), and 15MB of L3 cache on the 6 core model, 20MB on the 8-core model--according to Wikipedia. Oh, and no lame integrated GPU. It's likely that Intel will be adopting a new socket for it as well.

the benefit of the integrated GPU is that it does what a GPU does best, lots and lots of parallel, straightforward, non-branching computations.
not sure if this is what intel was going for with it though, but that's what AMD wants to push.
