Core i5 750 Gets First Listing
A little over a fortnight away from launch, one of Intel's first socket LGA-1156 processors, the Core i5 750 has started being listed on popular American online (and ground) retailer Fry's. Not for pre-order or expected stock, but accepting orders for same-day shipping! The processor ended up being priced just where we expected it to be: around the $200 mark (listed on roadmaps so far as $196).
Based on the Nehalem architecture, the Core i5 750 "Lynnfield" is a monolithic quad-core processor with a clock speed of 2.66 GHz, with a QuickPath Interconnect connection to the northbridge it shares the chip package with. It features 256 KB L2 caches per core, and a shared 8 MB L3 cache. Its integrated DDR3 memory controller addresses dual-channel memory. The listing can be found here.

Gonna wait till 32nm to upgrade.

All the slow stuff goes on the "southbridge" (or whatever intel likes to call it)
Stupid enough, Hong Kong has a bigger debt than the whole PRC. :roll:
Even the old-school QDR FSB (which has the highest bandwidth on the 775 platform) is much faster than anything the SB handles.
DMI is merely a chipset bus, not a system interconnect. The on-package NB is connecting to the PCH (P55), which is a glorified southbridge, using DMI.
i'm sorta confused lol
To make it a little more subjective though with the USA's much greater population, the UK is in debt to 56% of it's GDP, the US about 71% of GDP, put that in relation to Japan who's national debt is 194% and even Italy's of 102% things dont seem so bad :)
I'd get the i7 920 anyway.
