I was able to take it up to 224x21 = 4.7ghz but without HT

It was decent but since I'm on air i might have to stick with 4.4 @ 1.3v

I'm torn between the IFX-14 and normal Mega. I've heard good things from both. I guess Fits had the IFX-14, at least from a comment earlier in this thread. Any comments now?

Was expensive as hell.

You'll need to save quite a few paychecks for a i9

At least $1K. It will be the new top chip to replace the 975.

theres one with a 18x multi that will be around $380 or so.

theres one with a 21x multi that will be around $600-700.

theres one with a 24x multi

theres an extreme one with unlocked multi but runs 2.8ghz stock

theres an extreme one with unlocked multi but runs 3.2ghz stock.

all are 32nm and run very cool, 26c idle at 4ghz with 42c being full load.

they can reach alot higher bclk than i7's. 240 is a typical OC

most x58's will support them as.

they added the SSE4.2 instruction set that is also found in the 1156 chips.

I dont think so either, I think i would get the x21 multi for 600, or see how much the EE's are, they would probably be in 1k area, to much for me.

Unless Fits knows something other than what is in the Digi Times i9 thread over on XS, which is very possible, I only see 3 Xeons at launch and a single EE.

As always, only time will tell.
