Welcome to yesterday's news

Yesterday?

More like last week.

lol calm down.

its not good if intel monopolized the CPU industry anyhow, we will all be paying overpriced CPU..

its always good to have competition in the industry cheaper price and new innovation.

Btw, overclock your E8400 ffs.. lol

[zalbard]

AMD's showed 12 core CPUs already, they aren't bad at all tbh.

[Tech Dav]

if these numbers are true , then this is a big letdown and frankly I can't see much wider interest here

2010 Q3, 2133 MHz, Turbo 2333 Mhz,$1699

[zalbard]

I wouldn't call it a credible source.
And AFAIK current Gulftown ES CPUs are clocked @ 3.2 Ghz.

Sounds like BS...

as soon as you read Q3 2010 release you should have known those numbers were BS since it's been confirmed for Q1.

Where in that article did you read that?
What I see is:
Core i9-xxx XE 3333 MHz 3.?? GHz 6 x 256 KB 12 MB 2 x 6.4 GT/s QPI 25x 3 x DDR3-1066 ? V 95 W LGA 1366 Q1 2010 $999

Agreed, looked myself and all I see is $999.00
A comment on what was written earlier in the thread;
Top ES's that are out right now are 3070mhz(23 multi) will do 3200 on all cores on turbo and 3330 on a single core.
There is a earlier release thats unlocked..Q3FE I beleive, listed at 2400mhz but unlocked.

WB MM. Hope you good.

Any word on Gulftown < $1000 ? Cause that's pretty retarded to buy X58 for "future proofing" only to run into a $1000 Gulftown wall.
Hopefully 32nm will see 4.5 / 4.7 on air. !!!

I would bite for 1000, if it can run high freq and stable like penryn. no way 1500! 1000 is ultimate max for me.

Dude no way. As every generation since Core arch has shown, EE is a waste of money, especially if it is not a new arch, which Gulftown isn't.

[mrcape]

Well, I am admittedly a bit of a tech slut and 1G is my cpu price cap. If I add up the number of wolfdales I've owned over the past two years it would be able to buy about 4 of those EE.

For $1k you can buy 5x i7 920 from microcenter....

[dartaz]

For $1k you can buy 5x i7 920 from microcenter....

And what you will do with 5x i7 920 ?

Are you going to use 5 computers at the same time ?

Also, you will need to buy 5 motherboards, 5 video cards, 5 case etc to make those 5x 920 operate, right ? So, it will cost you much more than buying one build with $1k CPU

Moreover, no one is sure that i9 will be an extreme edition only

You might be the only here that can't think of something to do with 5x i7 920's.

It was changed obviously but uhm 6 cores at 3.33Ghz is too much too soon I think especially at 95W, maybe on turbo. I9 was clocked at 2.4Ghz before but I think it should be 3Ghz to raise an interest and to compete with quad cores

it's very stupid to future proof now with X58 because in a few months there will lots of new changes in motherboards with USB and SATA . You wouldn't want a brand new 6 core CPU wiht yesterday's slow technologies

latest samples have 3.07GHz (3.2GHz with TM on all Cores) and this is not final stepping. So i don´t think that 3.33GHz is a problem for final CPU

[Hellmann]

Anyone with classified to tell us the maximus bclk?

[Tutto]

I hope this is a typo? It's showing Desktop Gulftown with 4x256KB L2 Cache and 8Mb L3 Cache. I have a classified ready to go. Now all I need is a chip to play with

4x256KB?
Other two cores working without L2 cache?

for CPU not, but for TDP maybe

hehe nope, there's 6 of them
