    New CPUs And Price Cuts Expected By Intel

    Sometime during November it is expected Intel will release its next-generation of processors under the branding Core i7core i7 . There are only three Core i7 processors expected in 2008 and they will target upper mainstream and performance users. The Core i7 965 XE will be an Extreme Edition processor running at 3.20 GHz, featuring an 8 MB cache and will be priced at $999. The Core i7 940 will run at 2.93 GHz, feature an 8 MB cache and cost $562. The most affordable Core i7 will be the 920, with a 2.66 GHz clock-speed, an 8 MB cache and a $284 price-tag. All three processors feature four-cores, a 130 W TDP and will offer a substantial performance increase over current Core 2 processors.

    Would like to see the prices on the new MBs.

    I would w00t too. But unfortunatly, I don't see intel putting a feature usually only included on premium products (Extreme proccessors/ unlocked multi's), on a mainstream chip.

    But I mean, multipliers did not stop people getting the Q6600. I bet the cheap Nehalem will do fine, an OCing champ like the Q6600 probably.

    Aye, but the problem concerning multi's and overclocking is different here. Concerning the Q6600, you could just pump up the fsb. However, it is the thinking of several people with sources in close contact with nehalem that increasing the reference clock is dangerous. And, not the typical "operating the hardware outside the intended parameters could kill your hardware!! OMg! No, instead the designers themselves are literally scared to operate the reference clock above 150'ish. Hence the apparent "need" to get an unlocked chip to overclock any bit over what 150 will give you.

    Could be because of the IMC; even 8M can be overkill at this point, they're not stupid

    Why, I think that's the best compliment you've ever given the blue team, M25.

    Thanks.
    The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' And I'll look down, and whisper 'No.'

    really,...maybe because I think too much about the critics than compliments, maybe because Intel's 2001-2005 domination has left quite a deep mark in my memory, but Nehalem is really something to leave you speechless, it's how the blue team should have presented themselves long ago.
