Bombs Away for Intel Core i7

Nov 16th, 2008 08:27 Discuss (146 Comments)

Intel's eagerly anticipated Core i7 series of processors have hit retail channels today, with top online and ground stores in the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe listing the processors. This, a day in advance, with the company slating the launch for November 17 originally. The Core i7 is the poster-boy for Intel's Nehalem microprocessor architecture. It is a quad-core 8-threaded processor featuring 256 KB L2 caches per core, with shared 8 MB L3 cache. Some of the listings for the processors are as follows:

Overclockers UK (₤276 ~ ₤904) | Scan UK (₤259.87 ~ ₤892.02) | Newegg US (US $319.99 ~ $1069) | Micro Center US ($299.99 ~ $999.99) | HOH Deutschland (€283,90 ~ €989,90) | NCIX Canada (CA $388.99 ~ $1443.99) | TechBuy Australia (AU $676.35 ~ $2364.20)

For the motherboards:

Newegg US ($220.99 ~ $398.99) | Overclockers UK (₤223.24 ~ ₤340.74) | HOH Deutschland (€244,90 ~ €339,90) | NCIX Canada (CA $366.18 ~ $374.99) | TechBuy Australia (AU $503.90 ~ $635.70)

btarunrHere's Indian Listing (prices up by evening) www.lynx-india.com/index.php?categoryID=1371

The storekeeper, Amarbir Dhillon is my pal. Expecting 920 at Rs. 13,500, 940 at 21,000, 965 at 46,000 (?)

So you order from Chandigarh ? Isn't it cheaper from Delhi ?

Earlier I'd buy it from Nehru Place, Delhi, but Amarbir gets me a discount. His stuff comes from Chennai (imports). So it's somewhat Nehru-place-ish rates. Those rates on the website aren't the rates he sells them at. Those are just a show.

He just went online. He's had a massive ground-store in Sector 10 for years now.

farlex85That's apparently like $270 for the 920? That's cheaper than here in the US.

The price I could get to buy that CPU from retailers I know, not the prices they offer to customers.

^^ dude you should know better than that.

those tests are at CPU limited res.

At higher res, the difference would be only 1 fps. core i7 920 performs less than or equal to QX9770

look at this enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTU4MCwyLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==

If you're Canadian, NCIX.com has a few products up. All of the processors are in stock as well as the ASUS ROG board and the Intel board. I think there are other boards as well but I haven't really looked into it.

Well, a lot of people are presuming the Phenom II (45nm) will be AMD's answer to Nehalem, but I can't help but think they're not aiming to take on Nehalem with that architecture.
