Intel Core i7 LGA 1366

The Latest Intel Processor

Its here! It’s finally HERE! The latest from Intel, 1366 pins, has Hyper-threading and has its own memory controller. This Nehalem processor aka Core i7 (code name “Bloomfield”)was rumored to be the flagship processor of the Window 7 OS. A 45nm technology similar to the Core 2 Duo/Quads, this baby can overclock easy.

This processor can be installed on Intel’s latest chipset the X-58. This motherboard is capable of Crossfire and SLI, so it's more flexible when deciding to go ATI or NVidia on your GPU configuration.

But this processor is still power hungry and way too expensive for ( me).

Intel's flagship motherboard for the Core i7

Asus's counterpart X-58 series mobo

This mobo utilized only DDR3 RAMs up to 16GB of it and you cannot install a Core2 Duo on an X58 or vice-versa.

I think AMD must do something about this, so that we will not be affected by Intel's rip-offs.
