In this video,
Bill the Server Guy of
techinsight.tv explains the new features and performance improvements of the Xeon E5-2600 series platform.
Today just about every vendor you could name announced new servers based on the new platform. If you don't have the time to wade through all the press releases and the

For a thorough writeup on Sandy Bridge E5, I recommend
this writeup by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Register.
