I think at this point its clear that Deneb is going to be far more than any of us believed it would be. Thats what all the exitement is over so there is just no need for anyone to try and convince us otherwise.
Looking back on this thread I dont recal anyone stating that Deneb will be better than i7, there have been some if its better statement but on the other hand there have been plenty of posts saying i7 is better. Realy most of this has been one sided as far as forcing opinions on to others goes.

It realy dont matter to me personaly if i7 is a far better than Deneb because I can upgrade to Deneb with only a CPU purchase therefore it will be quite some time before I will be buying i7...........just dont have the money for it these days.
