Current i7-940XM: 2.13Ghz Quad, turbo up to 3.3Ghz, wiki release price: $1096

Sandy Bridge i7

i7-2920XM 2.5Ghz Quad, turbo up to 3.5Ghz
i7-2820QM 2.3Ghz Quad, turbo up to 3.4Ghz
i7-2720QM 2.2Ghz Quad, turbo up to 3.3Ghz

From the way I see it, i7-2720QM seems to be a follow up of i7-720QM (1.6Ghz Quad, turbo up to 2.8, wiki release price: $364) but its specs are higher than the current i7-940XM!

I'm thinking of waiting until I can get a Sandy Bridge Quad core notebook under $1300.... But looking at the specs, it seems that intel could price the new sandy bridge even higher than i7-940XM! Does anyone have a rough idea of how much the i7-2720QM would cost? Thanks!
