They're both the same chip except the 930 should be 32nm.

the 32nm variant would run cooler and overclock further (probably) and use less power. I'd get the 920 for now.

If it is in fact 32nm, and you can wait, I would, because, what if everyone who buys the 930 starts getting a stable 4.5 GHz on air?

The 920 does not disappoint, but since either way, the rig will be viable for the latest and greatest games and apps., for years, I would not want to spend those years, knowing that if I had waited another few months, I would something better.

On the other hand, something better is always around the corner, so you have to draw the line somewhere, and ultimately just do what makes you happy.

I am curious as to whether they will be sold at Microcenter for $200, like the 920.

All I know is, if I am looking at getting a 930, I will be watching and waiting like a hawk (do hawks do much waiting?), for info about the revisions and batches.

Might as well wait. The i7 930 and 32nm CPUS are going to be here soon. Should be interesting.
