Core i7 870 Tested

[Glow9]

^ You mean the i7 870 numbering? Maybe its because of the fact that while its i7, its for S1156 which is lower than S1366. I mean don't put the i7s for S1156 together with i7s that are currently for S1366 on the naming. Intel confused you.

This is absolutely stupid. I am not going to be one bit surprised to see i7 get chopped. Q9550 and Q9650 which can perform almost as good as their high end i7's it just seems like they are fighting against themselves not to mention pricing. Now adding a 3rd socket into the mix.

Who's the brains behind this one? Hey I got an idea! lets create a line of overpriced niche cpu's that perform about as well as our highend affordable ones! But just wait it gets better! Now lets add a 3rd socket which is between the two already and make that one perform as good if not better than the high end overpriced niche ones too!

Anyone ever see Robin Williams how golf got created standup? This comes to mind.
