Doesn't really matter if intel drops the 920 to, since there are still the UP xeons, and they are binned better anyway :p

Isn't it some kind of difference between them when overclocking? I think I've read somewhere that the BIOS lack some kind of setting when Xeons are used?Originally Posted by Hornet331
No its exactly the same and have been done for years and years.
Considering its a new product and enthutiast class it sold very very well. Plus the majority of shipped CPUs is laptop CPUs. So not sure what you wish to compare with.

Fixed.

We already saw it from JC. Plus its a HT vs no HT bench
And the picture from the original site also only showed 1 DIMM.
Nothing better than to try twist the truth right? Its also a pretty straight forward to know i5 performance. Since the only difference between j5 and i7 is QPI vs PCIe and 1 memory channel difference.

Yeah they're the same alright, but still they don't act the same. Found a post here, but it must be more of a BIOS issue than anything else.
Anyway I'm not surprised at all about this change, the €250 920 is just too good to be true if Intel wants to sell some i5 too. This ain't gonna help much as long as the Xeons stay though.
Wasn't the possibility of this happening discussed before on this forum? Although we have no confirmation if this is true or not I certainly remember the gist of weither or not moving to the 1366 would be worth it or not.

When thers a difference, then that, that a avarage Xeon will clock better then a avarage 920 (both D0). As for the bioses, blame asus for not fully supporting the xeons in consumer boards (duno if they fixed it already). Other board makers made there homeworks and they work just like normal i7s.
