like imagine Intel came out and said "oh.. Gee... We're sorry, our cpu's having been displaying too high a clockspeed figure in windows, and THAT's why performance blows, so we're issuing a "software patch" to "manage your expectations".

except Intel would never do that. Apple on the other hand... ]]>Jul 2nd 2010 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/
You do know that Intel isn't the happy friendly company that it looks like in ads, right?

I mean, look back at their history with attention to antitrust suits...]]>Jul 2nd 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/Jul 2nd 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/I was planning on upgrading in a month, but I guess I need to wait longer!

You know, you could just get a six core Phenom II 1055T for less then 200 bucks, or the 1090T for less then 300... AMD has the best deals.

I suppose that depends on how you define 'relevant'. The S775 Pentiums aren't bad by any means and S775, S1156 and S1366 are all equally dead-end at this point.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/
None, if you want cheap, go AMD. Intel's low end processors suck. They are only competitive in the $200-$300 range, or higher if you want the best performance (regardless of price...).

And socket type is generally irrelevant to performance and price...usually just indicative of older/newer stuff.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007671%20600005665&IsNodeId=1&name=Wolfdale]]>Jul 2nd 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/Jul 2nd 2010 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/Jul 2nd 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/
They are all _equally_ dead, or rather dead-end, as future processors (Sandy Bridge) will require different sockets. Heck, S775 seems to be getting more new processors than S1156 or S1366. Granted all Pentiums but still.

So no, not sarcasm.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/intel-set-to-overhaul-desktop-cpu-range-with-new-models-lower-p/
