Intel Lynnfield i7 870 Review - Versus i7 965

[saaya]

well 1366 will get a 6core chip so if you need threads for video editing or are a distributed computing aka folding at home fan, then 1366 beats 1156...
and if the boards are really not matured yet, dunno how the other boards are doing, then 1366 still has that advantage as well... its been out for a year already and boards are very stable and easy to use with the latest bioses...

and also, it seems 1366 cpus clock better than 1156?
a lot of reviewers cant even hit 4ghz on air, or they can only hit it with high voltages... while every recent 920 i know of can hit 4.2ghz stable with good air cooling...

and on 1366 you can adjust uncore...

overall you can build about the same system on 1366 and 1156 and the price diference is not that big... at least with the current cpu and board pricing... so if i would want to build a new system now... i think id go for a sub 200$ 1366 board and a 920... i pay a little more but get a more mature platform, tri channel mem, slight better ocing, 5% boost in xfire and sli, and thats with only 2 vgas or i can run sli+xfire at 8/8 and still have a lot of extra pciE lanes for other cards, i can tweak it better (uncore multi) and i can upgrade it to a 6core and make it a highend system again in 2-3 years...
