There is a $90 instant discount from the posted price.
What is this?
This is the unlocked "enthusiast" Intel i7 Sandy Bridge CPU, which is the newest technology CPU.
You can overclock easily using the Intel Windows Overclocking tool. You just turn up the multiplier, nothing else. People are already running these chips past 4.5ghz. This is pre-release data from those who are Intel beta testers and magazine editors.
It requires a LGA 1155 motherboard, which is an all-new design.
What does that mean for consumers and gamers? i7-980X 3.33ghz performance ($1000 chip) for less than 1/2 the price.
For Duramax Scientists, this mean BigAdv folding has never been cheaper. Throw a $150 mobo, 4GB of ram, a 400w powersupply and case, a DVD+HDD, and for under $700 you have a really mean machine. Should be over 40k PPD, with much lower power use than doing it with video cards.
They can be officially sold Jan. 9.
