Is there a website like newegg that offers i7 cpus and compatible boards ?

I don't think they're out yet...when it's out, though, Newegg will have it.

Tankguys lets you order them, but nobody will be able to ship them untill the 17.

No, I think that was some weird situation where they got pre-release chips. The actual ship date is the 17th though.

The guys that you have been seeing them around ocn.net have gotten them locally. You can try hitting your local electronics retailers, or any small electronics retailers in your area that might have them out early.

Other than that, you've gotta wait til the 17th like everyone else.

nope.. people have gotten them in store... probably a prerelease or something like that...

 

[zlojack]

No...people bragging about having it may have got them ahead of time, or may have got samples. There are tons around.

ES chips. Engineering Samples. They are released by intel for people to test, but it's on a strict nondisclosure agreement, no selling, no nothing. They have unlocked multi's. It's not easy to get in though

kind of like beta testing the best games, never could get in

A few people have gotten them from local stores where they stocked them prior to the official release date, either intentionally or by mistake. In at least one case an Intel rep visited the store and chewed them up one wall and down the other.

The world is not perfect, "leak" happens.
