Oh, and what cooler are you using? I'd hate to think it's on stock cooler at 4GHz!

821077 2009-10-16 18:56:00 I want to know why I paid 4 times as much for a cpu for the same speed.

Are there any other ways my 975 is better than a 920?



Because you could.

People are calling Intel’s new Core i7 975 Extreme Edition the world’s fastest desktop processor. ZDNet’s own Hardware 2.0 guru, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, calls it a “monster CPU”

The Core i7 920 (2.67GHz) was cleverly priced.
The clear choice for the value-conscious enthusiast lies with the Core i7 920, as it overclocks, with basic air-cooling, to 3.6GHz-plus, intimating that the underlying Nehalem architecture has plenty of headroom.

Core i7 920 Clock Speed 2.67GHz

Core i7 975 Extreme Edition Clock Speed 3.33GHz

It's taken Intel almost seven months to change the Core i7 line-up, and it's now headed by the 975 Extreme Edition, which is, for the most part, a faster-clocked version of the incumbent 965 Extreme Edition. Shipping at 3.33GHz and based on the D0 stepping brought in for the Core i7 920, our benchmarks show it to beat out the previous champion by around five per cent, and take over the title of fastest desktop chip in the world, helped by the fact that it overclocks well, too.

The one obvious problem in recommending such a speedy chip is the price-tag that Intel attaches to it.


As usual, you got the one everyone else secretly really wanted but couldn't afford.
