All 6 Series Sandy Bridge chips will be benchmarked on the ASUS P8P67 motherboard. To compare against the 2300, 2400 and 2500K we have the Core i7 920 setup on an ASUS Rampage III Formula. The same memory, graphics card and PSU will be used to keep system variables consistent and therefore give the most accurate results even though we are testing across different architecture and chipsets.
