Thanks for the post jdeb;

I was also impressed with the performance of the i3-2100 in the test by Phoronix.

Another interesting twist is the i3-2105 by Intel. It has the 3000 HD graphics.

Intel Core i3-2105 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz 2 x 256KB L2 Cache 3MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I32105

Phoronix has done some more tests of the Linux kernel against the Windows 7 drivers. My feeling is that Phoronix is in too much of a hurry to publish. It would be nice if they waited until the development of the software was at least stable before they ran their test.

I guess it beats watching TV.
