Since you're from Oxford I don't believe this will help you but here's my Intel Core i7 920 - D0 Stepping.

Good luck with that one. I think your expectations are a little too high there.

0) 5GHz would be enough.
1) I said if. That doesn't mean I expect.
2)

3) I consider using a good water cooling for that purpose.

We've got chips on the way to us. Orders will ship by Monday 3/23 at the latest, maybe 3/20 if we're lucky. Either way, it's better than the original 3/25 ETA ;)

Can you send stuff to Macedonia and if you can how much it will cost to send one i7 920 D0 to me?

New ETA?

In another thread TankGuys has updated to a 4/1 ETA. Emphasis on the E.

Is it now "safe" to assume that the major e-tailers (e.g., Newegg.com) are selling the newer D0 revision?

after seeing these ridiculous clocks coming out... 4.5+ on air... I would be very interested in knowing that too! :D

They're mixed in with the 3000 C0s still in stock. read the Newegg reviews. You Probably have a 1 in 8 chance of receiving a D0.

Heh, true... I guess i ll wait it out a bit :)

this isn't an option for everybody, but i always buy processors at fry's because they work with me checking the stepping and batch numbers to get the best they have available.

I have a MicroCenter and a Tiger Direct within 20 miles of me. They let me look thru their stock also. But No D0s yet.

Actually, i could check NCIX, thats what is closest to me :P

Kensek, is that just an exaggeration, or is there really that many C0's?

Well, not in this case, considering Fry's is charging $330+, before tax.

There's about a 8 to 1 ratio of C0s to D0s.

It took Newegg 4 months before all the Q6600s shipped were G0s from B3s back in 2007.

ouch man! they're asking $280 over here, i wonder why so expensive in AZ? i have to say, the fry's in anahiem (if any of you happen to live near by) has some awesome deals on processors. i picked up my qx9650 for $600 NIB. :D
