Finally!!

You can see how he stumbles when he speaks... because Intel really made a mess with their naming convention. Core i7s on two different motherboard sockets is too confusing for mainstream.

Woohoo!!! A new CPU that doesn't outperform the year-old Core i7, jacks up "mid-range" mobos up to price-points not seen in years, and features an on-die PCI-e controller, which apparently doesn't help and might actually hurt performance.


Intel's marketing people are laughing at you right now, I'm sure some fanboys are going to "upgrade" their i7 920 to a newer i5 just to be part of the celebration...

Why spend $199 when you can spend $270 on the i7 920.

@Hellhound

So you can save some 80 $ and then some more for MB and RAM....

Microcenter still has i7 920s for $199 which is where I got mine, so I'm not exactly complaining about the price

why didnt AMD get a red Thread when new cpus come out ?

 

[christop]

Damn stop with the socket change....

 

[jgv115]

Actually, the socket change is not as bad. The P55 is much more cheaper than X58. The socket change was necessary.

I think Intel have the upper hand now.

christop: Intel kept LGA775 for years, but everytime a new CPU came out, it wouldn't run on the older chipsets, so you had to spend a day researching it to find out that you still couldn't use the newest CPU in your motherboard(figuring out what could run Conroe was a nightmare).

gogo intel, make 1 socket for each CPU )

U know ppl are still gona buy.

Great video, told us most of what we wanted to know.

One issue, while you can write a mean article Angelini, you need to work on your presentation skills. Desperately.
