core i7 is ... NOW?

Whats the next step??

And when is it coming out?

Should I buy i7 now?
or wait?

GatorB · 05-11-2010, 10:08 PM

Next step is 6 core. Hell I just recently upgraded from P4 to dual-core. I'm not even sure what I would use a Quad core for let alone more than that.

leg4 · 05-11-2010, 10:12 PM

Its kinda like having an iPad... I just want the i7 so I can feel better than everyone else!

(LOL)

tiger · 05-11-2010, 10:18 PM

Wait, the new intel chip is going to be a 6 core beast.
The core i chips are amazing but at this point you might as well wait a few more months.

PersianKitty · 05-11-2010, 10:19 PM

I went from Pentium whoknowswhat from 2005 and XP to i7-920 and Win7... loving it.

PK----What city?

Yngwie · 05-11-2010, 10:26 PM

I still have a Pentium D. Haven't upgraded in years.

I bought a new desktop and laptop in late February with Dell for both because my previous ones never gave me trouble and I could use some of my AMEX rewards points for Dell Dollars.

Desktop - Studio XPS 9000
Intel® Core? i7-920 processor(8MB L3 Cache, 2.66GHz)
9GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 6 DIMMs
750GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive

Laptop - Studio XPS 16
Intel® Core? i7-720QM Quad Core Processor 1.6GHz (2.8GHz Turbo Mode, 6MB Cache)
6GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz
500GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive

Compared to what I had been using, they scream for me.

leg4 · 05-11-2010, 11:07 PM

Thanks for the info! checking out that Studio XPS 9000 now!!

TrainWreckContent · 05-11-2010, 11:11 PM

go ahead and get it once you do it will be out of date lol

It's always been that way. Since I don't buy often I usually got for newer (not newest necessarily) so that at least it's somewhat current for a day or two.

yeah i am the same way....its nice to feel like you have the newest toys available at least for a few days lol

Odin · 05-12-2010, 12:46 AM

Really it's hard to decide. You are always going to get outdated sooner or later. I run an i7, it is a dream to run. But sure, in another year or two I'll most likely drop another 2k and upgrade to another beast system. But this one is serving me very well.

John-ACWM · 05-12-2010, 05:05 AM

They are always evolving, buying an expensive one once it's out on the market seems like a waste of money!

CunningStunt · 05-12-2010, 05:20 AM

My I7 took an enormous shite with Dell / Alienware, and it'S 3 WEEKS before a new machine arrives. 4 months old. Fuck them white rabbit.

Nicky · 05-12-2010, 05:39 AM

I run a regular quad with 4gb ddr3. No i7 but I don't think I'll upgrade for atleast 1-2 years.

seeandsee · 05-12-2010, 05:43 AM

buy 16 core macs

I've already had one for the last 2 months.

not only is it 6core, but its 32nmm, so its faster clock for clock than the 45nm i7(4core).

Some people say they wouldn't know what to do with that, and that's fine. I run an animation business and render hundreds of frames(sometimes thousands), so if Intel made a 128core CPU, I'd still find a way to abuse it.

Have you been in a coma? The i7 has been out for 2 years.

This could apply to any point in tech history in the last ten years or so.

jollyperv · 05-12-2010, 09:01 AM

I was reading some pretty interesting shit recently about Moore's law and how CPUs are about to reach a point where they won't be able to build them any smaller because of the laws of physics (electrons jumping across things, etc.)

we are already kinda there, that's why everyone is increasing the number of cores, not the frequency...

I think he was referring to the Macbook Pro specifically.

JustDaveXxx · 05-12-2010, 11:15 AM

I got the mac Book pro i7 17 inch. Its fast. I use it for processing pics and photo shop applications 5-7 days a week. The speed is good. The uni-body is pretty bad ass. It is replacing my 2.16intel core duo 17 inch Mac Book Pro which i still have incase of any issue i may have or if lost or stolen. I absolutely cannot be down 1 day with out a Mac Book. My business depends on it.

People can say that i payed way too much, but it shaves serious time off of my raw processing and it will never break down or crash. The time i save and the confidence i have in my equipment is priceless!!!

LoveSandra · 05-12-2010, 12:30 PM

pretty cool

rock-reed · 06-12-2010, 01:40 PM

Not sure when the next chips will come out....

But I can't wait... going to i7 now.

yeah I use the i7 975 for photoshop with 12g ram and the i7 950 12g ram for hd vid, have an i7 12g ram., with ssd c drive laptop for location work. all on win 7. never have any probs except the usual adobe bs.

i7's are virural 8 cores and the 6 cores are virtual 12 cores. not sure how mac's handle the chips

Lol @ saying wait.

Don't wait. By the time you wait, buy, and have it installed in your PC there's going to be another chip released a month later. They pump new CPUs out less than every 3 months.

Why wait?

fris · 06-12-2010, 05:27 PM

im running the i7 980x 6 core, nice and fast

DraX · 06-12-2010, 05:53 PM

Also sitting with a intel i7 920 with 6gb ram, works great. I dont see any point upgrading for quite some time.

If you want a stable and clockable system go for the i7 920, it's also getting cheaper.

EliteWebmaster · 06-13-2010, 02:49 AM

I'm running an overclocked Intel i7 930, ThermalTake liquid cooled, 6gb ram, fast enough for video applications and gaming. No need to upgrade anytime soon.
