Intel is initiating a C0 to D0 stepping conversion for Core i7 920

[FischOderAal]

D stepping is capable of a much higher clock frequency, it will get easier to find a 5Ghz chip and we should see a lot more around 5.5Ghz on average.

My eyes must be tricking me. 5.5 GHz on average?! Or did you mean 4.5?

€dith: 4.5 seems more reasonable for me, taking the first part of the sentence into account.

I cannot empahsize enough how much I love these new chips. They really are awesome.

There's a point where opinion is glorification above reasoning. Do you need to write such things under nearly every of your posts? Don't you think we know now? *sigh*

Sorry, I don't mean to offend you but I can't help myself.
