| Intel Core i7 920 and 965 XE CPU Review In a few weeks you can find a brand new Intel CPU at your local hardware shop, it still carries the Core name but it is drastically different compared to their previous Core 2 units. The Core i7 has an onboard memory controller and hyperthreading is re-introduced. We compare the performance of the entry level 920 model as well as the high end 965 XE. http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=884

| Nice job with the power consumption results! Those are suspiciously like my own Q6600 results... but much more magnified. Core i7 looks to be a power sink... Would've liked to see QX9770 results in a few more places (especially those game tests) but otherwise is a nice review. Very much liked how you tested the 9950BE @ 3.2Ghz. |

| I kind of figured the sporadic QX9770 results was due to time constraints, so no worries. I looked at Techgage's review, they had QX9770 and all three Core i7 results on some real world game settings; despite 1680x1050 resolution 4xAA/8xAF max detail Core i7 definitely took a 5-15 FPS hit for some newer games. Even at the 30" resolution COD4 had a 3-5FPS hit compared to the QX9770... As much as I need a true SLI / Xfire capable board I am seriously considering waiting now... if I could keep my six sticks of 1GB DDR2-800 I'd have upgraded.
