So will the i7 920 be discontinued and now the i7 will only consist of $500+ processors? : ( I'm sure the 6 core Gulftown processors are Extreme Edition only, so price will be about $1000.
Well according to the roadmap, i7-920 CPUs will be available until the second half of 2010. Also according to the roadmap, there seems to be one Gulftown CPU on path for realease, which would eventually replace the i7-975 for the Extreme Edition spot.
Now this is where I get confused: why the heck does Intel have so many different CPUs stated for release in Q1 2010. The i7-920 will continue to be available, while the i7-960 will replace the i7-950, so it doesn't seem like the i7-800s are meant to replace them. Then there's the i5 and i3 CPUs. Is it really necessary to have so many different varies on the market at the same time?! Well, it's good for the consumer but it seems like a bad decision (in terms of money) for Intel. Then again, I'm basing this off the roadmap.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.
