i7 is just not = 920.

sure a 975 is best nowadays even for dolphin, but you cant think that you achieve the same power with a 920.

920 has to fight hard with the best c2d/q while a 975 smiles about them.

and that doesn't change after overclocking.

exact so we are OK to say that i7 975 is the one that should be in the enthusiast PC on page 1 (lol)

Too Bad only the Captain can change it , and for that he would have to admit that what we are saying is not Blah Blah Blah ^^ (is it that hard ?)

i7 975 is a waste of money... i7 920 is a great deal and a 975 is an outragous price...

Oh gawd what i'm laughing here at some comments.

Seriously, nobody is denying the i7's power, but, as buying anything from Intel's ultra high-end, it's just overpriced.
What is wrong with being patient for 1 or 2 months? Say, the i5 is coming soon, the i9 is coming (not that) soon...
Prices will fall a lot by then.

What happens here, is that there has not been a clear transition from Socket 775 to the iX, i7 now means high-end, s775 is now budget and mainstream.
This mainstream we're seeing here is getting no support anytime soon, and the new mainstream (i5) isn't even out yet.
Now, you want to upgrade your dual-core cpu today, for a new dual-core (In my case and many others it's perfectly known that more than 2 cores are not needed) and what's the problem? There isn't one, not to mention that s1366 doesn't support these either.
We're stuck with budget and a mainstream that will cease to exist soon (what's gonna happen once your old ram or cpu die?, get a second hand one?) and an incredibly overpriced high-end platform.

I know that we can't sit and wait forever for obvious reasons, but this is one of those those special cases.

Hmm... I suppose that makes sense. Are you suggesting that prices will be dropping around October, because I'm impulsive and am really urged to buy it. Big Grin
