That will not happen.If it's slower than i920 than you can bet it will be priced lower too.IT still depends whether one talks about out of the box performance(ie. turbo feature on i7 can make ipc comparison harder than usual-why not OC both chips to their maximum and test them in your preferred workload?).
But the total platform cost arguments still stands.Plus the chip has dual standard DDR support so you can use it with both types of RAM/boards.
