Core i7 LAUNCH CONFIRMED: 11/16

What if you don't play video games at all? Does this mean you don't need a fast processor? Sometimes encoding a video can take 24 - 48 hours with a modern core 2 quad. If that could be brought down even by a couple ours it's a big improvement. If all you use you computer for is to browse the web you don't need a beefy processor or an account on xtremesystems.

Good post

I agree, when I was in my film class I would of killed for one of these processors, epically since there was a limited amount of computers in the class and limited amount of time on them, and limited amount of time till your film/project was due and I hated sitting there waiting for stuff to get done. If the school had a few i7's we would of been some happy students.
