*Possible* Core i7 Release Date - November 17, 2008

[AuDioFreaK39]

I may have figured out the official Bloomfield release date according to the following information:

SF3D says the NDA will be lifted November 13. He has many pictures of the Foxconn motherboard.

And here's the new GIGABYTE X58 rev 0.2 board that hicookie posted:

This seems to be on the same track as what the Aussie's say:

and

X58 motherboards already for sale

Goes exactly in line with what Fudo told me as well:

Nehalem release date - 99.99% accurate:

If the QX9650 launched on a Monday, November 12, 2007, then it looks like we may have our release date guys!


Monday, November 17, 2008

Well, do u noe one more thing???

Intel strangely chose that date for price cuts on their quad cores:::
New Processor:



Intel plans to launch a new cheap quad core on the November 30th. It will launch Core 2 Quad Q8300 and this new CPU will work at 2.5GHz at FSB 1333 and it comes with 4MB cache. It has the same clock speed as Q9300 but this more expensive CPU has 6MB of cache.
Q8300 will cost $224 and as we previously said its older brother 2.33GHz clocked Q8200 will drop from original $224 to $193 on the October 19th. This will certainly make more breathing space for Q8300 introduction.

Core 2 Quad Q8300 will definitely launch after Core i7 series and these cheap quad core will cost only $62 more than the cheapest Core i7 920 at 2.66GHz and performance wise Core i7 makes more sense. The choice is always yours.
