[Fud] Lynnfield 2.93GHz to be positioned alongside Core i7 950 - Overclock.net

Side by side

Lynnfield quad-core at 2.93GHz will be a direct competitor to the soon-to-launch Core i7 950. This gives us a strong hint that the Core i5 brand might not materialize, at least not for this category, and that Lynnfield might end up branded as Core i7 xx0, let's say 8x0 series.

Since Intel is not telling this to most of its partners, we can only speculate the brand, but we don’t know it.

Lynnfield 2.93GHz is getting positioned side by side with the Core i7 950 3.06GHz CPU and it is no secret that the Core i7 950 should end up faster, but probably just slightly. This gives us an idea that this top speed Lynnfield should be selling for €400+ and this is not really a bargain.

Naturally, there will be cheaper Lynnfield quad-cores and you can expect them to penetrate the market at a €200 price mark.

Actually the i5 has been thought up to be the cheaper versions of i7, but it hasn't taken off yet. Don't think it will ever.

the i5 is stupid. One that can afford to go with an i5 would just get an i7. stupid.

And someone who can afford a chevy should get a honda. Someone who can get a honda should just get an acura. If you're going to buy the Acura, you might as well jump up to the BMW. That logic is fail. Pick a price and build the best system for that price.

I mean you are talking about much larger price jumps with the car comparison. Your statement holds some truth but with the case of these computer components, the prices differences really aren't too big of a deal.

I think there will be significant difference between x58 and p55(assuming price is close to p45). Why get x58 if you plan to run single gpu?

why get a p55 if you can get a p45 and a Q9650?
