    Where I'm now
    Intel's eagerly anticipated Core i7 series of processors have hit retail channels today, with top online and ground stores in the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe listing the processors. This, a day in advance, with the company slating the launch for November 17 originally. The Core i7 is the poster-boy for Intel's Nehalem microprocessor architecture. It is a quad-core 8-threaded processor featuring 256 KB L2 caches per core, with shared 8 MB L3 cache. Some of the listings for the processors are as follows:

    Overclockers UK (₤276 ~ ₤904) | Scan UK (₤259.87 ~ ₤892.02) Newegg US (US $319.99 ~ $1069) | Micro Center US ($299.99 ~ $999.99) | HOH Deutschland (€283,90 ~ €989,90)

    For the motherboards:

    Newegg US ($220.99 ~ $398.99) | Overclockers UK (₤223.24 ~ ₤340.74) | HOH Deutschland (€244,90 ~ €339,90)

    Core i7's will be available here (Malaysia) by Thursday!

    The 920 is cheaper, but to incorporate it in.. you'll have to go through a total technological transformation... will all that at this point of time worth the money?

    It's definitely not worth spending that much money on i7 right now, AMD deneb will definitely give Core 2 line of processors a hard time, and seems it can challenge i7 as well, (looking at the Shanghai benchmarks), Hopefully my next system will be a AMD one.
