You think its going to be overpriced or good enough to destroy AMDs six core?

Price/performance doesn't look like its there..........

The cheapest one isn't going to compare the the 1090t in terms of price/performance. At $560 minimum, Intel just isn't pricing their stuff competitively enough.

Also for those of you who happen not to be able to read german and want to pick up more than just the numbers,

Is there a reason i7's are ending in odd ghz? Like the new one being .46? What happened to just ending it on a solid number (.30 .40 etc)?

Those numbers have to do with the speed of the front side bus.

266 mhz bus (Intel cpus with their weird numbers) + 0.5 multiplier increases = Cpus that have clock frequencies that go up in increments of 133 mhz.

200 mhz bus (AMD's cpus with their nice square numbers) + 0.5 multiplier increases = Cpus that have clock frequencies that go up in increments of 100 mhz.

Meh, it doesn't sound liek the biggest speed increase to me.

at $300 it would be good, but 500+ is hardly sane.

i think if intel keeps it up, amd is going to end up in a good position.

Slightly off-topic, but if you are running Windows 7 with an i7, you may want to disable core parking to get your processor to utilize it's full potential. Win7 systems come with core parking turned on for environmental reasons etc. for conserving energy.

If you wish to read more into core parking:

And if you wish to turn it off:

Keep in mind if you are on a laptop this will rape your battery if you leave it on all the time.

Intel doesn't really need a hex-core to compete with AMD's 6-core Thubans. The i7 930 is only a bit slower than the 1090t. I imagine that these new processors would be for someone who doesn't want a full 980x. Still, Intel needs more price points in the $250-$400 sector where this processor should be priced at.

If i disable core parking my laptop will get raped out of battery?

Does anyone think the new i7 will rape the 1090T?

Holy crap the 980X is expensive.
