That's not going to happen. The i7 uses a completely different architecture from the Core 2 series, it doesn't need large caches. 1 MB of L2 cache on an i7 is equivalent to 6-8 MB on a Core 2.]]>Nov 16th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/Nov 16th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/Nov 18th 2008 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/Nov 16th 2008 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/

Currently only the X58 chipset is out, but other models should appear soon.

It's also a different socket too, LGA1366]]>Nov 16th 2008 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/Nov 16th 2008 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/Nov 16th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/Nov 16th 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/Nov 16th 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/Nov 16th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/

A 2.93 GHz Core i7 940 system has been used to run a 3DMark Vantage benchmark and gave a CPU score of 17,966.[16] The 2.66 GHz Core i7 920 scores 16,294. An earlier generation Core processor, 2.66 GHz Core 2 Quad Q9450, scores 11,131.[17]

AnandTech tested the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (4.8 GT/s version) and found the copy bandwidth using triple-channel 1066 MHz DDR3 was 12.0 GB/s. A 3.0 GHz Core 2 Quad system using dual-channel 1066 MHz DDR3 achieved 6.9 GB/s.[18]

Don't worry, Intel will release more stuff next year for everyone else :p

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Nehalem_(microarchitecture)#Variants]]>Nov 16th 2008 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/
Anyway. I'm excited for the little "OC Palm" thing that comes with the nicer Asus boards. You can put Yahoo widgets on it, which is really neat.]]>Nov 16th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/
Core i7 will come in 2 flavors.
The LGA 1366 which is on the boards you see today.
The LGA 1156 (formerly 1160) which comes out next year.

The 1366 variant is meant specifically for Gamers and Enthusiasts and will actually be the same socket used for Small to Medium servers as well. Will you be able to run a Xeon i7 in an x58 board? No idea. But you can see Intel is using a very similar architecture which means this platform will grow wings and fly over time.

The 1156 is the chipset is what you will see in the majority of the Dells, HPs, Gateways, etc sold at your favorite (or least favorite) big box store.

Anyway, I'll stop babbling, but hopefully you get the idea that these are meant to be high end systems, and thus carry a high end price tag as well. I would expect you see the x58 and 1366 for Dell in the XPS system, for HP in their BlackBird, etc.

I priced the cheapest Core i7 system earlier at Newegg (keeping Triple Channel DDR3) and it comes in at around $700 for the 920 Chip, Cheapest Board and 3 x 1GB RAM.
A mid level machine using the 940, a more expensive board and 3 x 2GB RAM comes to around $1200.
A Top end machine with the 965, Asus Rampage II Extreme and 6GB of DDR3-1600 comes to around $1800]]>Nov 17th 2008 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/
I'm not sure if I'm really digging Intel's decision to divide all these desktop/server chips into three sockets. Two I can understand, but three? What?]]>Nov 17th 2008 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/The uber 8-core monsters, codenamed Beckton, will be coming out on yet *another* socket: LGA1567.

The LGA1567 chips are MP chips. It's understandable to give them a different socket.]]>Nov 17th 2008 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/16/intel-core-i7-cpus-reappear-on-newegg/

Now that this bad boys have been announced people insist on having them on their systems even if a good 'ole Xeon would do just as well for a fraction of the price, without upsetting my cash flow just to wait for fancy newfangled pieces of silica of which they only know the name.
