I'm very confused about what is going on with this SandyBridge thing.
This site shows it to be the 3rd fastest chip for desktops out there;

At 1/3 the cost of the next fastest chip.
But reviews I am reading are all "meh". Uninterested, Won't be anything an enthusiast wants.
How come?
Does the built in GPU detract from the processor's power (As, I wouldn't be using it, I'd get a better video card, unless, you cannot with this chip, but I think you can).
Is this benchmark just wrong and the chip just aint that fast?
