Intel Core i7 980X

[Romito]

The first intel hexacore processor at a steep premium. probably the best performing chip at the moment.

anyone got any more info?

That pretty much sums it up. It's an Extreme edition, so ... Awesome CPU, but not worth $1000. My advice is wait, Intel are bound to introduce cheaper 6-core 32nm CPU's. It's the same pattern as the QX6700 at 65nm and QX9650 at 45nm.

The 980x is 32nm.

if it were only cheaper..@ R10 000.00 i could build a complete quad system.

Does it use the same bus as my 920?
