Intel Plans New Stepping for its 2.66GHz Core i7 920 Processor

[FordGT90Concept]

I say you wait until they lower the price of the 940 to the price of the 920. That will raise your multiplier by 4%, and it's vitally needed.

The prices aren't likely to go anywhere until the 32nm parts are out. They are a league of their own.

Nah! I'm sure AMD will have something to ground i7 into dust in an undetermined amount of time. Wait for that! Unless you've got something against AMD.. in which case I should remind you that this website is founded by AMD-fanboys.

You got that right .

Hmm, would it be worth waiting a month to get this newer chip though?

Rest assured... wait for a few voltage and current stepping tweaks. It's been the history of Intel chips.

You got that right .

I get a bowing emoticon and yet no thank..

I'm not asking for one, I just want to analyze this interesting phenomenon, possibly brought on disinterest of lack of remembrance.

Thank you Weer. I love AMD, though I use Intel. I need some good ol' punishment. That said this has nothing to do with AMD really...

Yes, and I would discipline you long and hard, if you hadn't given me that thank.

I mean I was asking for it. And you're right, for being an AMD fanboy, along with the rest of them, lurking around corners, here on TPU, you should be punished pretty severely. And what better way than to make light-hearted fun of you.

Ya, i learnt my lesson with PC parts. Its a good idea to wait a few months before buying new tech. Theres always a few bugs in new hardware.

Still no 1366 asus mobos with wi-fi. no i7 for me until then.

Just buy a wifi adapter, and have wifi on any computer you decide to buy. Quite frankly, not having built in wifi is a pretty silly reason not to buy a board.

my P5W DH Dlx and P5E3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP@n both have wifi. why buy something new if that doesn't have something that older boards had.

let... wait.. wait and... 32 -xx process... are you an american in crysis... ?

"let don't buy yet.... let wait... "

wtf... wait until or may you die soon

after that you will have a faster cpu on the milkway

if you have money simple buy what ever you like, don't waste your time waiting...

do what you can, live your live, dream, what ever you want don't wait

wait for what?

a better life, a better job, a better food, a better girlfriend, a better you?

don't wait for adders to do the job for you, for the adders to make your path


P.S. this post is not intended to be obscene, racist or illegal, it simple the product of my thinking.. simple me

Wow intel still does the unique number in each CPU nonsense? Doesn't everybody turn that off in BIOS? Oh well I guess it helps track thieves.

Well what he meant was that, wifi isnt that expensive to buy as a loose device, that way you dont need to choose motherboard just of the reason that it has wifi or not. I must agree with him that its a silly reason to choose motherboards over, there are much more important reasons to choose youre mobo for. And with a wifi adapter, you dont need that have that choise in mind.
