Intel Core i7-930 arriving Q1 2010

Specs look slightly wrong though - it says 2.88Ghz, but it's more likely to be 2.8Ghz. It also mentions it could be 32nm or 45nm, but tbh, it's most likely to be a 45nm part as nothing in Intels roadmaps suggests a 32nm Quad early next year.

awesome. if i were to go to X58 for the extra memory capacity support or added PCI-E bandwidth it would be around the time these launch. i just hope they're priced similarly to where the 920 is now, and better yet that they bring a new stepping to the table

Interesting and glad to see it, but remember, these are the guys who also claimed i920 was EOL six months ago.

Damn dp!

Lol maybe but they aren't the only ones sayingthe 930 is coming either. I know I saw at least 2 other sites mention it before

45nm...

the first 32nm you'll see is gulftown scheduled in april.

from my understanding the 930 was an OEM only cpu.

Vendor only, so you'd see them on dells, HP, possibly some other retail chanels as OEM's.

But you wont get a nice pretty box or a heat sink with it.

Must not of sold enough Dell and HP i7 1366 machines

Kinda pointless except for OEMs. Enthusiasts aren't going to be interested because all their i7's are OC'd anyways and that will be the only difference. They're not limited by bclk either so a higher multi won't really matter much

My thoughts as well. For overclockers, if these are the same D0 steppings, they're just going to overclock as well as other D0's (batch variances aside).

the cheapest intel quad core computer is from dell

for 320$ complete system (no montior,NO OS)

I7 LGA 1165

that makes sense. i5 is faster than a 920, they gotta fix that, either by pricing or model shifting.
