Intel Core i7 benchmarks...coming soon!

Intel has taken the wraps off its new Core i7 (Nehalem) processor architecture, which features an integrated memory controller and new QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) point-to-point links. The first CPUs to become available later this month — all quad-core with two threads per core — will be the $999 Core i7-965 Extreme Edition, the $562 Core i7-940 and the $284 Core i7-920.

Intel has taken the wraps off its new Core i7 (Nehalem) processor architecture, which features an integrated memory controller and new QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) point-to-point links. The first CPUs to become available later this month — all quad-core with two threads per core — will be the $999 Core i7-965 Extreme Edition, the $562 Core i7-940 and the $284 Core i7-920. Initially aimed at gamers and power users, Core i7 should go mainstream once prices come down, in the usual way.

Where are the benchmarks? Well, if you read German, they're here, courtesy of our estimable colleagues at ZDNet DE. If you don't, check back tomorrow and we'll have them for you in English.
