Core i7 LAUNCH CONFIRMED: 11/16

[Tonucci]

From what I've seen, the multis will go up a few notches, even in cheaper models, due to the turbo mode mechanics. Only fully unlocked extreme edition models can up the multi beyond what turbo mode can do. Looks like base frequency can be adjusted too, but very limited. But eh good thing is, the multis will be soo high even @ stock, that an slight base frequency increase will yield nice clock improvements.

Of course i may be wrong, but thats what some credible guys have said/implied.
