Intel Core i7 CPUs reappear on NewEgg
Remember those Core i7 processors that showed up — ever so briefly — on NewEgg a few days ago, only to promptly disappear, leaving us to ponder what we’d done wrong? Well, even though they’re not slated to officially hit shelves until November 17th, we’ve heard from a slew of vigilant tipsters (hipsters?) that they’re back.

I just bought a q9550 with 8gb of ram and a 4870. Overclocked to 3.8 on air stable. The i7 920 looks to overclock to 3.8 as well, at 20% faster times in 3ds and rhino. $320 gets you a beast of a processor, well worth it.

Anyone know how these compare to AMD Phenoms? Or what AMD is planning to counter this? I’m planning on buying a new processor next year.

Never mind, found the benchmarks and I’m impressed through and through: mos.techradar.com/techradar-corei7-benchmar …The Core i7 performs twice as fast the Phenom, so it’s i7 for me.

Sold my Q9450 (8GB, 2x 640GB, 8800GT) system and bought all the parts on eBay with the 25% live.com discount… Only had to pay an extra $200 (after the cashback) on top of my Q9450 sale price. Got a i7 920, Asus P6T, 2x 1TB Samsung, HD 4870, 2x 3x 1GB DDR3 kit (6GB), and a Corsair 750W PSU

Anyone else pissed that Newegg removed the shipping cost from being seen, until you add it to the cart and put in your zipcode?

We hit Microcenter in Denver at 10am in the 16th per the advertisement. Then had to wait 2 hours till noon for some reason. Finally hooked up with two of the 920 and 16 gig of ram (two machines being built). Bleeding edge yea, but someone has to SAVE THIS ECONOMY!
