People are easily hitting 4 ghz on air cooling with these excellent, cheap overclockers, too. Also, with the i9 being rumored to need nothing more than a bios update for current 1366 boards, the investment looks to be worthwhile as well.]]>Sep 14th 2009 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/
Between turbo, HT, and the per clock performance increase the 1.6GHz 720QM should give you at least the performance of the 2GHz Q9000 for about the same price. ]]>Sep 14th 2009 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/
That all depends on how you use it.

The 860 ($229 at MC) beats the 920 in more than a few benchmarks, and a single 5850 should beat a pair of 260s for the same price or less. Add to that, I can save $30 on RAM and another $50 to $100 on a 1156 board, and there's a strong argument to be made for Lynnfield chips.

By the time 6 core chips are less than $1K sata 6GB, USB 3.0, and PCIe 3.0 should be standard and I'll need a new MB anyway. ]]>Sep 14th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/
I'm guessing you're referring to that idiotic Indian chainmail claiming that like 36% of NASA scientists , 38% of American doctors, and 34% of Microsoft are Indians etc etc. This was picked up by an Indian newspaper, and many Indians started spreading it on the Internet but it has been DEBUNKED. Only 4-5% of NASA scientists are Indian. So stop spreading that bull.

Actually, you can! - I had an old Nat Semi wafer at home which I used as a table mat. You just can't slice it up and expect to work afterwards.]]>Sep 14th 2009 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 23rd 2009 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/
Notebook are already at a more than acceptable heat level (my mb tends not to get above 130F, even when doing intensive work) but the less cooling we need, the more it will increase battery life. And obviously more balls for the $ is always welcome.]]>Sep 14th 2009 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/

ps3 has it and it sucked, but was supposed to be mad powerful

im snagging a I5 for 179. too bad intel disabled hyper T on it.

wonder if it can be turned on, like how u can activate locked cores on AMD chips

What I'd do though is go for a 1366-socket i7 720. Awesome value for money, HT, and doesn't use the crappy 1156 socket.

Seriously, I hate Intel for not using the same socket throughout their core iX - line.

Which feels conflicting, because I love them for that exact product line :D]]>Sep 14th 2009 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/Sep 14th 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/intel-begins-production-of-32nm-westmere-processors/
