Anyone seen and/or benchmarked these new cpus? Or know any info about them, beyond the basics? I know that Intel is dropping the 940 and 965 and replacing them with the 950 and 975. btw, all of these chips will be on the market simultaneously, so if you are in the market for an i7 make sure you are getting the latest edition.
Here is some basic info on the 950 and 975:
The Core i7-950 is a performance edition bloomfield chip which is clocked at 3.06 GigaHertz with 8 MegaBytes of cache. The Core i7-975 is an extreme edition bloomfield chip clocked fastest at 3.33 GigaHertz and the same 8 MegaBytes of cache. These two chips will replace the i7-940 and i7-965 respectively when released. The specifications and price are listed below.
