Comes out October 19th.

Accidentally stumbled across the link by making a typo. No link to it on Antec's site and went looking to see where it was sold and answer was nowhere. Wrote to Antec thinking it was discontinued, and they answered "oops", it won;t be in teh shelves till Oct 19.

I'm kinda set on the 850 Signature series but the 1200 would let me add another GTX 295 or other twin dual GFX card pairing someday.

It will be interesting to see the technical reviews. I just checked 80plus.org. If it's the SG1200 model, then it is Gold certified and rated at 90.13 efficiency.

On the other hand AMD and Intel are in a race to develop 32 nanometer technology. I've read several newspaper reports about it. Intel already released some info for a cpu a few days ago. I am beginning to think AMD came out with the 40nm ATI Radeon 4770 video card and then decided to bypass 40nm and go for 32nm. That would mean more energy efficient cpu's and gpu's that would require less power instead of more.

AMD and intel aren't really in much of a race, considering that Intel has demonstrated working ES CPUs at 32nm, and AMD is still trying to develop it. The 40nm was a TSMC process unrelated to their CPUs. Intel is almost guaranteed to be first to 32nm, and I wouldn't honestly expect to see AMD at that node for another 6 months to a year afterwards.

cjl - Yes, I would expect Intel to be first to market. Historically that is the normal situation. There is no reason to think it would be different this time. I'm not too good with technical stuff. Just wondering if AMD might try and play it both ways - cpu's and gpu's.

Looks like a different unit .... it's Antec Signature Series that has the SG Model No. The Quattro series has the TPQ and the 80 Plus report clearly identifies it as a different unit

They tested the TPQ on 01/19/09 and it's just coming to market 9 months later. I expect we won't see the Signature model then till at least April 2010
