Hi, I don’t suppose anyone has heard a confirmed release date for the i7 930? I’m trying to get a definite spec for my new build and the i7 930 could be a deal breaker.

Cheers

I'll put bets on it coming out next week, maybe the week after. If you notice OCUK have stopped stocking OEM 920s, and the Retail 920s are going quite cheap :)
 
Will be interesting to see what packages OcUk Offer with the new chips :D

What time frame do you expect before we start seeing some imba bundles?

I hear they don't overclock as well as the i7 920s but if I go i7 I'm thinking about going i7 960 if the 930s don't come out in time.

This i7-930 seems to be doing OK:

Maybe it was a bad chip you heard about? Anyway, I'm waiting for one of these too so I can start my build. The i7-960 is over twice the price though. If I was going to spend that much, I'd get an extra couple of hundred together and get the i7-975.
 
I'm hoping the press is right on these and they come out soon and are priced at approx 920 costs.
I'm bored with my c0 and it refuses to budge over 4.1 stable (temps to high anyway so stay at 4ghz) so really hope that i can push a newer chip a bit more.
I regrettably bought the c0 soon after release so i hope the first batches of the 930's arent gonna be as bad for oc'ing relative to the 920 c0/d0's.Yes i know i should be happy with 4ghz at decentish temps but as i said i'm bored of it now and want a challenge:-)

As for that cpuz screenie WOW,i cant even boot at stock speeds with that vid.

I am on the Intel press info list and it was only a few days ago I was told about the date so I think if it was going to be late they would know by now :)
