Anyone tried the new Intel Core i7 CPU?

[davids]

Is anyone using this processor, or have any information about it? I am thinking about purchasing one, but cant really find that much info on it.

Just wondering how good it really is...

You should probably come visit the main site more often

We reviewed all the currently available Core i7 processors here at TechSpot, take a look:

Also here's our review of a production Asus motherboard for the Core i7 CPUs, based on the Intel X58 chipset:

yeah i have it is sweet i bouht the must powerful one and overclocked to 4Ghz, but i need to get better cooling or it will melt, but i can play crysis full on with anti aliasing set at x16,

No you can't. Unless you mean either you're running 640x480, or your technically PLAYING Crysis, but it's a slideshow.

I just bought a 30in lcd samsung 2400x1600. Also received my 4870x2 in x fire. 2560x1600 and I cant run highest settings without noticing a little lag.

Can you really get online in 5 secs from boot up? I was looking at that P6T board or whatever and I thought it mentioned that you could do so with some kind of "Express Gate." I was also looking at the ridiculous prices on the new CPUs... not to mention the triple channel memory. It's only a matter of time before AMD releases a new platform that blows the i7 away. I bet they are obsoleted in a few months...

Yes you can boot up in 5-10 seconds. Its pretty cool. core i7's will be here for some time. AMD's next line of cpu's aren't going to run triple channel memory either, which shows a huge advantage in benchmarks.

you can boot up in 5-10 seconds on a quad core processor so whats so special?
