Some stuff from the article:

* Up to 470MB/s Read; 315MB/s Write (128K Seq, 8GB span, QD=32)
* Up to 20,000 4K Rand Read; 5,000 4K Rand Write (8GB span, QD=32)
* Compatible with Intel 6 Series Express Chipsets
* Intel 34nm NAND MLC

"The 120GB version will cost about $280 while the 250GB version will cost about $580. One etailer in UK has even listed out the price of the 120GB version at £227 (~$366) and 250GB version at £475 (~$767"

Looks pretty nice! But aren't the random Read / writes kind of Low? Maybe I'm missing something.

Best to wait for a few technical reviews. I'm hoping Anand of AnandTech does a review. He includes "storage bench" testing which uses real world software programs and games instead of synthetic benchmarks.
