Well, as we all know, Sandy Bridge launches in a few weeks. Does anyone else here foresee a drop in prices on the 1156 stuff? Since I assume retailers are stuck with a significant portion of current-gen i3, i5, and i7 CPUs, maybe we'll get lucky and have a nice fire-sale on current stock.

I want to buy a new CPU/mobo in the next few months and would like some input to help sway my decision.
 
I got my AsRock P55 Extreme for $50, so I could care less. But obviously they will be offering better deals.

How do I get a deal like that? I would like to see a price drop but I do not see it happen. i5-760is no slouch and in spite of being EOD it is a great solution.
 
Motherboard prices will go down. Used cpu and motherboard prices will go down. I am not sure about retail CPU prices.
 
Retail price drops would depend on how Intel does the rollout I suppose, as well as if they market it as a direct replacement for the 1156 parts.
