Looks like nobody wants to talk about it though. Yeah, new CPUs are great for... uh... 3D designers, video editors ect but even Photoshop now knows how to use CUDA to speed up the process so video cards will still do the job faster (as long as they're supported by software).

New CPUs were made for servers, lets face it. Mainstream processors are planned for the second half of 2009. If you use your PC for games, I don't recommend Core i7.]]>Nov 6th 2008 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i7-gaming,2061.html

Notice how at the lower settings, the E8500 is maxed out and the fps doesn't change from 640x480 --> 1280x1024, while the other CPUs have a high FPS. This indicates that the game is CPU-bound at lower settings rather than GPU bound, hence they are better benchmarks. At higher settings, games can become both CPU and GPU bound, which doesn't help as much since tests are supposed to have one dependent variable rather than multiple as it makes it easier to pinpoint why things are happening.]]>Nov 6th 2008 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/No.]]>Nov 6th 2008 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/You can never catch new tech can you?]]>Nov 6th 2008 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/Nov 6th 2008 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/core-i7-dated-for-november-17th-approximately-priced/http://www.pcmaniacs.com.au/
