Read this thread from over at the whirpool forums.

Plasmog provides some stellar arguments for the 8xx's.

Core i7-860      4/8      2.80      Yes      8      TBD  1156         275     168
Core i7-920      4/8      2.66      Yes      8      4.8      1366      275     168

jesus christ, a whole .14 extra GHz!  for no more money!  woooooooooo i7 8xx!

p.s. - i hate you intel.  $275 is pretty damn cheap but you're not getting me until after college probably. 

p.p.s. - buying a rocketfish case (rebadged lian-li) for $90 today

I dont quite get how they plan on shifting them, it must be OEM's they have in mind, whos really going to buy them over an i7 920 and x58 config?  You can get x58 boards fairly cheaply now.

I'm gonna reserve judgement until I see some benchmarks from them. I was really hoping that an i5 platform would be much cheaper than an i7 so that I could justify buying one. ah well, I'll be waiting a bit longer for an upgrade.

It isn't the only thing contributing to my dislike of my computer.

1GB DDR 400 RAM doesn't help, or the GeForce 6600LE, or the general failness of the rest of it...

Super slow comp is fail

I need to get a new comp...

It overheats frequently as well, but that is the fault of the shi- case and 90 F ambient room temps...

When was the last time you posted something constructive and contributed to a thread? I really can't remember.

Haha no. Its worse than i7 9xx so there is absolutely no reason to get it. In fact I find it hard to even recommend them anyone when they just could get X58 and i7 920 almost same price

This is true, especially now that lower end x58s aint all that expensive and triple channel DDR3 is affordable now.  Am hoping to see some new x58s myself, I believe gigabyte have a revised board coming soon.

I believe they got delayed. Asus P6TX58 Premiuym for example was cancelled because all the SATA 6Gb/s controller chips are faulty. Same reason why Gigabyte boards aren't showing up either.
