The only i7 9xx processor Intel is selling right now in volume is the i7 920. Compared to an i7 860 it has two disavantages: less PCIe lanes and dual channel memory. None of them will affect the segment both are targeted on. Maybe some people will whine for a 1% perfomance decrease because of the lack of dual 16x lanes for CF/SLi configurations, and that's all.

Two radically different platforms aimed at the exact same price segment is a FAIL. Even more when you consider that the i7 860 has higher stock frequency, WAY higher turbo mode, probably (unconfirmed) more overclocking potential, less heat, less power consumption and you can buy it for the same price. Not to mention the other components will cost you less money too. Spending money for perfomance is OK. When you can get more perfomance for less money and you don't do it, it's insane.

i9 is the salvation of s1366 on the desktop.
Just to words -> time frame

What you get now, other already got for 10 months. Everyone who jumped on s1366 right on the beginn lost nothing, and that gulftown is a nice bonus. -> again you get it way before "all others"

Just reminds me of the people who always about the people who buy EE. But now they about the platform...
