***** New toy from Intel... Results rather promising :) *****

A group called In-Stat, who I haven't heard of, have declared that they think it costs Intel $40 per die during 2003 to 2005. Well I'm convinced.

The cost to manufacture something is meaningless. R&D costs are not negligible. If you'd like to argue that Intel's profits are excessive then go ahead, but stating that they're selling £50's worth of processor for £750 on the basis that someone thought their manufacturing cost $40 per die five years ago is just ridiculous.

You're trolling or retarded. Either way I'll add you to my ignore list, you can add me to yours and all will be well. Cheerio.

Do we know when these are being released?? I'm currently looking at a 980X but if its worth the wait to get one, then I may as well :)
 
Guess I'll be doing that then :)

Question for you guys, for 24/7 useage, what sort of voltage would I be best not going over??
 
1.4v for 24/7 running volts as a max. 1.375 would be my personal max but thats good for 4.8-5ghz from what I have seen.

Well it'll be running under water with its own loop, so I hope thats going to be good enough. Actually Andrew, I wonder if you might be able to help me out with a little project I'm trying to complete.

Is there a way I could contact you personally through email etc at all?

There's my guess. Although isn't it being released quite close to Sandy Bridge? Surely people will go for the i7-2600K?

i7-2600K is not supposed to be a replacement for the extreme 1366 chips, those Sandy Bridge parts will come later on 2011.

It has a "stock" multi of 25, but the multi isn't locked. So it could be set to any value.

Yes, someone ive just seen on a forum (sounds like this one!) has 5GHz with 31X multi/161.4bus/2905 FSB on AIR! (1.544 volts) on a 980X.

Mines just a paltry 4.2/21 multi/1.32v:confused:
