Intel Core i7 930 Slated for Q1 2010
Intel's Core i7 LGA-1366 performance segment processors is in for another update, past the recent introduction of the Core i7 960 (3.20 GHz). The newest entry replaces the popular Core i7 920, and leverages the company's socket LGA-1366 platform as the ultimate high-performance desktop platform. The Core i7 930, like all processors in the Core i7 900 series, runs on motherboards with the Intel X58 Express chipset. The processor comes with a clock speed of 2.88 GHz. Assuming it retains the base frequency of 133 MHz, we're not entirely sure how 2.88 GHz is worked out with a bus multiplier value that is a whole number. Since the Core i7 930 replaces the i7 920, it is expected to seat itself at the same price point of $299. Since this release comes slightly ahead of that of Intel's "Gulftown" 6-core processor, in Q1 2010, it remains to be seen if this processor continues to be built on the 45 nm HKMG process, or the newer 32 nm one.

because i'm a cheapskate:laugh: and that was what i have had planned on getting for a while,
although i'm still a little edgy over the reliablity of some of the 1366 x58 motherboards
@ The Witcher, "Q6600 2.40 @ 3.2GHz (v13.8)" ... excuse me?
i'm more of an AMD man :laugh:
it's rather overpower for most people's needs
But we aren't "most people" :D
Think I will buy another Q6600 and wait for 6 core goodness :)
you can still get Q6600s?
i can't find them anywhere
i last saw them listen in like june
can still get them in UK but prices are silly.
not sure.
I beat the crap out of my Bloodrage GTI and it has been a champ so far.
nothing better than having a system that will do whatever you need it to when you need it to. perfection.
