Nehalem blows away the competition

The Greek edition of PC World recently published some comparative benchmarks of the new Core i7 processors. The results are quite impressive- the 2.66 Ghz Core i7 920 performs equal to the 3.2 Ghz QX9770 and the higher clocked CPUs do even better! See all the results here (thanks to Google's translation).

Eh, I think I'm going to wait awhile for my next upgrade. Seeing as how most X58 boards are $400+

Good scores for stock. My qx9650 scores around 6600 in 06.

Same here, temporarily too expensive and being that I don't have anything that is too processor demanding I see no reason for an upgrade until I personally feel the limits of my processor's speed.

It's expensive now, but it will eventually come down. When Nehalem hits the notebook market mid-2009, I'm going to start looking for a new notebook.

I also got an i7 Core 920, Asus P6T Deluxe, and XFX 260 Core 216 Black Edition with Far Cry 2, 3dmark Vantage Professional, and $50 rebates total [waiting]. Antec 900, KWorld PCI TV 120, Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB HD, and a Kingwin removable HD tray.

I will brag about it in the Desktop build section!

You'll probably have to wait until June or July when the rest of the i7 lineup is released
