RE: Intel officially launched the much awaited 32nm Core i3 CPU

I will be waiting to hear your thoughts on this new CPU and mobo combination in regards to a cMP^2 rig. Please also think about telling us about any tweaks you've discovered along the way.

My main interest is on sound quality and future upgrade potential. The little bit I've read about the i3 and i5 is very promising. While I'm a pure 2 channel listener, I am interested in having the option to go 5.1 or 7.1 if I wanted and the i3 and H55 combo seems to allow for bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD-MA over HDMI. Outputting 8-channel LPCM over HDMI is also supported.
