*** Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - OEM @ £199.98 inc VAT ***

CP-283-IN_400.jpg


Ultra Overclockable D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) Version to allow the highest overclocks and lowest temperatures possible. Achieve 975 performance at 920 pricing.

Nehalem is a radically new design for Intel: for the first time, the CPU is a 'native' quad-core CPU, where all four cores sit on the same piece of silicon. With its Core 2 CPUs, Intel used two dual-Core dies to create a quad-core chip, this translates into better performance. Nehalem features Level 3 cache, something first seen on earlier Xeon server chips, but Intel Core i7s will feature up to a massive 8MB (shared between all four cores). Each of Nehalem's four cores has 256KB of lower-latency Level 2 cache.

The Level 3 cache of Nehalem is described as being ‘inclusive’, meaning that it holds the data of all the Level 2 caches. This means that if a core needs to fetch data, and it doesn’t find it in the Level 3 cache, it can be confident that the most up-to-date version of that data is held in system memory and fetch straight from there. If the Level 3 cache wasn’t inclusive, the core would first have to look at the cache of the other three cores to ensure that none of them had a more recent version of the data it needs. An inclusive cache is therefore said by Intel to be more efficient than an ‘exclusive’ cache design, even if it does mean that 1MB of Nehalem’s 8MB Level 3 cache is taken up by storing a copy of the 256KB Level 2 cache inside each processing core, again this translates into a performance gain over Intels previous designs.

Intel has integrated the memory controller onto the Nehalem CPU die rather than having it be part of the Northbridge on the motherboard. It's achieved this by modularising the design of the CPU. The seperate processing cores and caches are linked to the onboard memory controller via a new bus standard called QuickPath (sometimes called QPI, short for QuickPath Interconnect). As QuickPath replaces the Frontside Bus (FSB) and Northbridge combo, it also takes over the role of allowing the CPU to connect to other system components, busses and controllers such as the PCI Express controller and DDR3 memory.

The last big news about Nehalem is that it uses Hyper-Threading. This technology works just as it did with the Pentium 4, using spare resources of a processing core to try to execute a second process thread. This means that a quad-core Nehalem processor can accept and attempt to process eight threads simultaneously, making it even more massively parallel than the current Core 2 Quad CPUs.

*** Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard @ £137.99 inc VAT ***

MB-159-GI_400.jpg


The EX58-UD3R was designed specifically to take advantage of the raw power of the next generation Intel® Core i7 processors and the Intel® X58 Express chipset, whose new evolution in computing architecture is able to deliver an amazing performance break through from past processor generations. Replacing the Front Side Bus is the new Quick Path Interconnect, or QPI, whose 25.6 GB/sec transfer rate (double the bandwidth of the 1600MHz FSB) eliminates the communication bottleneck between the processor and chipset. The Intel® Core i7 processors also feature an integrated memory controller inside the processor die and support 192bit 3-channel DDR3 memory that delivers a 50% memory bandwidth enhancement and lower memory latency for incredibly fast memory access. Additionally, The EX58-UD3R features Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, which is able to power down idle processor cores and dynamically reroute the power to the active cores for significant performance boosts, and at the same time, maintain greater energy efficiency.

Any particular manufacturer or size you are looking for ?

something like,

24"
VGA/DVI (HDCP Compat) HDMI would be a luxury bonus
1920*1200
Slim Black bezel, none of these horrificly over used plastic monsters :p

Really is a shame I didnt get the setup I wanted earlier in the year when the sammies were silly cheap :(

As for brand, theres no brand loyalty here :p its all about Bang for buck.

Benq seem to be kicking out some half decent budget monitors atm as well as the likes of samsung and I think I saw a few Viewsonics kicking about too but majority of them suffer from the whle OMGHD! 1080 resolution, shame really :(

I was actually close to ordering a pair of the Benq 24" ers (2410HD) that are doing the rounds @ £140inc atm but decided against it as I think I might not like 16:9 on the PC and cba to send 2 whole monitors back lol. This spec at 1200 would be fantastic

Just seems that recently all of the budget end monitor have one of the huge pitfalls :(

Overuse of Plastic
1080 only
VGA only
No HDCP

Really wanted to return to dual monitor, altho the 26" LG you have atm is also interesting Im still looking but my time is running out :p deadline is sep. But ASAP before this horrid old CRT slows cooks me :( 19" CRT that weighs more than a child aint nice lol
