Part 1. : CPU Performance http://www.overclockzone.com/zolkorn...dge/index.html
Part 2 : IGP Performance http://www.overclockzone.com/zolkorn...gfx/index.html
btw. it only Thai language :p:
Hmm, I was hoping to see single core performance between i7 and SB.
micro center sent email that has info on SB release and there in store pricing
http://www.microcenter.com/storefron...ource=ACT_BYO&
Any idea what the prices will look like in EU? especially the 2600K
in germany actually 314€ but this isn´t the cheapest shop. So i think price will drop at release to ~280€
Monstru: nice review, I ranked your reviews to my "required reading" of reviews :). Im tired today, I read now about 15-20 reviews SB and x4 975+x4 840 and others tomorow :(. Gn :)
317 US$ = 240.698557 €Quote:

$317 is w/o VAT (%19) and shipping etc...
look at microcenter, they sell them for $369 and thats also ~280€
microcenter is selling them at $369 before an $90 instant rebate if I remember the ad correctlyQuote:

I highly doubt that. They had the i7 920's on release date for around $230-250 for a year then dropped down to what they have it now.Quote:

$280 for 2600k I don't think I can resist. I might even likely line up...
you think you'll have to line up? I have a MC nearby and want to get one, but I'm not sure if you really need to get there super early to purchase one or if they are stocked up enough to meet everyone's request.Quote:

I bought i7920 for $200 march of 2009 which was like $100 off, micro center has lower price cpu to bring you into the store, in hopes you also buy motherboard/ram/gpu....
lol why not :ROTF:Quote:

:up: :up:

Luckily for the rest of us there are some aussies here that are very prominent so us little guys can ride on their wave a bit.
