My spideysenses tell me core i7 might be a huge let down especially in its infant stages, and worst of all for those not interested in dropping a grand on a silicon slab.
Maybe I'm just trying to rationalize my recent purchases in penryn, but I fear nehalem won't clock nearly as well as these chips have. I mean, what if Intel really is going the way of AMD with its barely OCable HT interface?
am I the only one experiencing these P4 HT pangs of wariness? is everyone else just creaming their jeans to get ahold of these chips and if so could you provide me some reasons for excitement?
