Thanks very much for the post Mr Toad. Nice to see the UK not waiting forever as seems to often be the case.

Awesome avatar and name btw.

Hmmm... my pleasure. Although, depending on whether Intel sees the funny side of this or not, we might end up having to buy the new D0 stepping i7s elsewhere is Europe :p:

i hope those are actually really binned parts that clock better than 920s and 950s :D
i know of quite some people who got burned on a 965 that clocked like crap compared to some 920s that did higher uncore, higher mem clocks and higher mhz with the same volts or even less volts.

sure you need a 965 for the max cpu clocks, but getting a 965 didnt mean youd actually be able to make use of the higher cpu multis, quite some of them maxed out with multis that a 940 or even 920 can run too...

Yay, now that means the 920 and 965 will drop in price, although probably just slightly... what excites me the most is revision D0.
