If this is right those waiting for the i7 975 will be waiting for another month or so.

So the 975 replaces 965. 950 replaces 940. 920 stays. That is why 920s were roled out in D0 stepping i guess and 940s and 965s were not. 975s and 950s will be D0 stepping. Also look at new 55xx series Xeons which are out now. They are all D0s. :O

Lol not going to be cheap.

About £800 for the 975 and £500+ for the 950.

That's quite a price hike over the 940 for the 950 just for d0 and an extra 133mhz stock speed.

I myself might consider the 975

You can buy one for me if you want

DrMoe · 29 May 2009 at 16:59

Is it premium cut quality?

ZXSpectrum · 29 May 2009 at 17:15

lol. got 2 of each coming in stock on monday for orders..

Pricing looks to be the same as the 965ee for the 975 and the same as the 940 for the 950 give or take a couple of quid

DrMoe · 29 May 2009 at 17:17

cool, keep us posted!

nightmare99 · 29 May 2009 at 17:41

Yes pricing should be like for like, only diff will be if somewhere has grey stock of 940.

Interesting. I was looking at all the online retailers listing the 950 and the prices are way above the 940.

I'll wait and see what the final prices are.

Unfrotunately i am off all next week but looks like i will have to come in and have a "Play" with one of these 975 in the week..

thevet · 30 May 2009 at 13:24

im happy with with i have for the moment...do not need to upgrade for a long time yet

FaceplantSi · 30 May 2009 at 16:38

Yeah, I think a 4Ghz 920 will do me for the foreseeable future! Nice to see that the pricing should be similar to the replaced models though, especially in the current economic climate.

rjk · 30 May 2009 at 16:52

im guessing £400 for the 950 and £1000 for the 975

although i was considering a 975
im now getting a 950

as the 23X multi [24X with turbo] will allow me to go to 5ghz+

DrMoe · 30 May 2009 at 17:08

Well I anticipated this which is why i put my 965 on ebay and just sold, so ill be getting the 975, so should probably change my signature....

Caracus2k · 30 May 2009 at 18:33

and the only one worth buying unless you have silly money is still the 920! (until Intel apparently spoil all our fun with I5!)

Is that what you're going to build into the new case then? Looking forward to that build log if it is!

The £700 I7-965's OCUK have right now are a bargain especially as they run @ default with the same clocks as 975 @ 3.33GHz (with turbo mode enabled on 965). Pointless paying £300 more for a newer stepping + 133Mhz clock speed!!
