What's going on with the prices? The site says that stock is present but the price remains TBC?? All down to NDA regulations??
Are those stock levels accurate?
im just wondering will i7 dual cores will work like current quad cores ? will they use those extra 2 threads if game supports quad core ?
I don't think it's NDA as my local website has had the prices up for a week or so
It has the i7-920 for €289, i7-940 for €569 and the i7-965 for €1049
I was banking more on easyrider!(sorry!).
Not really a stupid investment for somebody like me sitting on an Athlon XP box...
The cost for a comparable Core 2 setup would be... err... comparable if we're looking at stock performance. Sure, it will cost 10-20% more but the improvement in interesting areas like workstation apps is - for me - quite important.
On the flip side, overclocking - for me - is the art (as such) of taking the cheapest components and getting them to work better than the more expensive ones. It used to be quite easy, but with new sockets, laser-castrated hardware and ridiculous prices, it's a bit more of a challenge.
For the record, I'm considering Core i7... I have a watercooling setup sitting around doing nothing at the moment, so...
I`ll be going Core I7, but not until march, april next year. Hopefully there will be a better selection of Motherboards and I7 compatible DDR3 Memory by then to choose from.
It is a stupid Investment at the moment. The price will be so much lower in a few months.
Im waiting until Feb next year when i build my new machine, hopefully prices would have come down by then.
Gibbo, Any word on OCZ 6gb 1600mhz kits and new Thermalright 1366 kits?
Really want an i7 965 but need the bits to go with it also!
HI there
Yep they are up, pricing is ridiculous but an exchange rate of 1.47 has really pushed the pricing of these massively upwards. Stock is rather limited too and if dollar keeps going downwards they will just get more expensive......
