I don't see the point of this chip tbh. If you can spend this much money, might as well pick up the 980X with its unlocked multiplier. If Intel had priced it at even half its price, it would be much more worthwile.]]>Aug 12th 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/I think that's what I'll end up getting when it's time to upgrade.

AMD's six-core processors arent that great.

This is why when I buy my first car I'm getting a Ford Mustang.

I'm not sure what you're saying there. Because a company has an expensive high end product that means that all of their other offerings aren't worthwhile?]]>Aug 12th 2010 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/
Amd gives you a 6 core processor for a low price. but intel want to charge an arm and a leg for the same amout of cores. which one are you going to take]]>Aug 12th 2010 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Way to miss the point.

i have an AMD right now, quad core 3ghz... its a nice processor expecially for how downright cheap it was.. when all intels of the same specs were about triple the price.

but i have to say, from an engineering standpoint the intels are worth the money.

if an intel was only 100-150 bucks more than what my amd was.. i woulda bought it. but as it stands my amd was only like 200 at the time and the intel was 650.

Intels run cooler and smarter, amd just makes shit fast, simple, and cheap.

I absolutely love AMD but we cant knock on intel for charging higher prices for much smarter designs. I would even go so far as to say the average customer would drop their yearly energy bill $50-100(or even more) by switching to an i7 processor if they are like me and leave their comp running most of the time.]]>Aug 12th 2010 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/
My new rig was assembled last Saturday to replace my 7+ year old Pentium 4, 1GDDR ASUS mobo desktop. I went with -- what else? -- the i7 930, ASUS mobo (PS58XD-E) and 4G DDR3.

I can't afford to replace or upgrade often, so I wanted a system built for longevity. Considering what I put my P4 through (including having coffee spilled down the chassis!), I used the same philosophy from my last build. This new system runs beautifully, and Windows 7 64bit is a pleasant surprise. Ahem...I skipped Vista completely. I had an AMD machine years ago and had problems with incompatible software and patches that wouldn't work.

I'm so pleased with this rig, I can't wait for Blizzard to get to work and release Diablo III!]]>Aug 12th 2010 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/With that said, I just sold my AMD rig because (A) the stock cooler was winy and (B) I felt that the platform was unstable. +, I happen to fall into the "poor college student" category, living on social security only. So, uh, no, no expensive core i5 rig for me. I built myne for $493 with a microATX case, 4 gigs of ram, stock cooler, 8400gs, and temps idle around 40-44C. My amd system that I sold was built for $450, with an ATX midtower, 4 gigs ram, stock cooler/GPU, and temps idled around 44-46. So it seems that in the mid-market AMD and Intel are leveling off a bit. Take off $29 for the graphics card on this intel build and you see the point. Also, the intel build has a more expensive 750GB seagate HDD where as the AMD one had a 500GB western digital that also died right before I sold it!]]>Aug 12th 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/12/intels-core-i7-970-gets-reviewed-great-for-overclocking-still/Aug 12th 2010 11:15PM
