Huh?

Core i7 has nothing to do with Core2 processors. It's completely revamped and does not use a Shared Frontside Bus technology anymore. The memory controller is also integrated with the CPU, rather than the Northbridge - two technologies AMD has had since they first released the AMD64 cpu.]]>Mar 6th 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/shocker-retail-core-i7-cpus-caught-using-ddr3-1600-memory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/shocker-retail-core-i7-cpus-caught-using-ddr3-1600-memory/

Since the day I recieved it the CPU is running @ 4.0Ghz the memory is running @ 1678 Mhz and it is rock solid and stupid fast.

So this really isn't "new" news.]]>Mar 6th 2009 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/shocker-retail-core-i7-cpus-caught-using-ddr3-1600-memory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/shocker-retail-core-i7-cpus-caught-using-ddr3-1600-memory/
I actually have the same RAM, though I've tweaked the timings to 8-8-8-25. I shelled out $220 for 6GB of DDR3, now I saw it in the 'Egg's email for $99.99 with promo code, 109 otherwise. They have the Core i7 on sale too, though Microcenter has had it for as low as $229

I opted for the EVGA x58, and have my i7 920 running 200x20, Turbomode off.]]>Mar 6th 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/shocker-retail-core-i7-cpus-caught-using-ddr3-1600-memory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/shocker-retail-core-i7-cpus-caught-using-ddr3-1600-memory/Mar 6th 2009 4:47PM
