How will the 11' Sandy Bridge stack up to Power7/8?

[jl4069]

Heres the latest entry from wikipedia on sandy bridge B2:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Sandy_Bridge_(microarchitecture)
Sandy Bridge-EN 1-2P server 8 (16) Socket B2 (LGA 1356) ? ? ? 3x DDR3 256 KB ? ? 0 mid 2011

Is this essentially a Power7 chip without the special copper design IBM now use?

thanks<JL
