Anyway, I know i7 is for servers, but it's at this point desktop/WS aimed, I dont see them dropping that for i5
i5 is in core terms exactly as i7. Just 1 lower bin as max (3066 or 2933). They all got HT, turbomode, ondie PCIe instead of X58 chipset and dualchannel instead of tripple. i5 should bring very heavy pricedrops to both Core 2 Quad and Phenom 2. Platform cost for i5 will also be much cheaper than Core 2/Phenom 2.
