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:

Here's Indian Listing (prices up by evening) http://www.lynx-india.com/index.php?categoryID=1371
The storekeeper, Amarbir Dhillon is my pal. Expecting 920 at Rs. 13,500, 940 at 21,000, 965 at 46,000 (?)
So you order from Chandigarh ? Isn't it cheaper from Delhi ?
by: wolf2009Earlier I'd buy it from Nehru Place, Delhi, but Amarbir gets me a discount. His stuff comes from Chennai (imports). So it's somewhat Nehru-place-ish rates. Those rates on the website aren't the rates he sells them at. Those are just a show.

by: farlex85The price I could get to buy that CPU from retailers I know, not the prices they offer to customers.
That's apparently like $270 for the 920? That's cheaper than here in the US.
^^ dude you should know better than that.
those tests are at CPU limited res.
At higher res, the difference would be only 1 fps. core i7 920 performs less than or equal to QX9770

If you're Canadian, NCIX.com has a few products up. All of the processors are in stock as well as the ASUS ROG board and the Intel board. I think there are other boards as well but I haven't really looked into it.

wow these things are beasts. how is AMD going to respond?
Well, a lot of people are presuming the Phenom II (45nm) will be AMD's answer to Nehalem, but I can't help but think they're not aiming to take on Nehalem with that architecture.
by: InnocentCriminalalready have everything. it'll be up and running in a bit.;)
