You are sure about 975 but Intel employee is not.. very interesting..



Current 3DMark Vantage, 3DMark06 and 3DMark05 world records are all done with such an engineering sample Core i7 CPUs that current retail Core i7 CPUs cannot match.




We benched that CPU and other CPUs in Chicago, Las Vegas and back home on motherboards with AM2+ socket and DDR2 memory. We published our first AM3 + DDR3 results last monday when NDA was lifted.
HA ha! you said my name ... I can post ...
So, I am not going to get to this contest again, I could use an other engineer sample as you did for 3DM05. As I was saying last week, I believe that we should not file records with engineering sample . .. we showed on 3DMark05 that it was easy to get back ... this time, I am not doing it, it is turning to funny. Let's see what people can do with what is in the stores ... not with some crazy chips you and I can get.

from what I know , the engineering samples score will be invalidated, as we proposed last week.
