intel core i7 summit

went to a 2hr intel summit today (during work hours) at intel office, hp tower damansara at about 2pm, with a colleague of mine (who's off for d day) to get an update on the upcoming n claimed to be very powerful core i7...saw some interesting slides and also demo from intel with come comparison with the previous core2 extreme processor n looks like the numbers were quite amazing...but of course, good things do come in great prices :D

an overall summary, the upcoming processors will have a brand new socket lga 1366 n onli works on ddr3 rams which is under 1.65v n make sure ur power supply is at least 500w and above with 80+ efficiency.

there will be 3 types of core i7 available at launch, namely core i7 920 (2.66Ghz), core i7 940 (2.93Ghz) and core i7 extreme edition 965 (3.2Ghz). i won't be goin into details but there's always the good-ol wikipedia to help unsolve any mysteries in ur mind :)

a colleague said i write too much words, so i better stick to more pictures this time. some pictures i took from the demo set by intel. enjoy~!
