Lowyat rules, Engadget drools

Readers of Engadget drooled on the site’s recent post covering an article which appeared on our local Malaysian tech site and forum, Lowyat.NET. The local article is about the new Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs which are already on sale in Malaysia even before they were suppose to make their official launch at CES 2011 in Las Vegas next year in January. I guess that buying the new chip here before everyone else is a consolation of not having any big tech trade shows annually.

Just in a time for a new Christmas setup, eh? Drop by to Compuzone at the second floor of Lowyat Plaza to get your hands on this. You won’t get this from other retailers in the same mall, or at all. Prices below, the new Sandy Bridge processors can be identified by the 4-digit model compared to the old 3-digit models. For sale are also some new motherboards from ASUS and Gigabyte which have the new Socket 1155 to support it.
