    Can't wait, the current gen Pentiums like the B950 and B960 are great performers for the price.

    That they are. Thinking about using one in an HTPC project.

    Really want something to replace the E-450 in my HTPC so I can throw my E-450 into an experimental system.

    These ivy pentiums seem like my best bet, but not quite sure what I'd do for graphics considering they have just over 1/3 the execution units for graphics of normal HD4000's (Intel's HD not Radeon's, you guys already know this though).

    Maybe I'll just build a SuperTPC with an i7 and HD4000 graphics (Case PSU covers PCI-E slot) lol.
