Abstract: If you are building/buying a new system, it would be foolish not to wait for the Core i7, especially the 920. It will outpace current processors by a good margin, within the same price range (Core 2 Extreme, Core Quad 9400), especially in compute or memory-bandwidth intensive applications (3D rendering, compression...)..
Extremely fast; self-overclocking feature; Hyper-Threading gives some of the advantages of eight-core processors
Requires new motherboard socket and chipset; won’t allow some older high-speed memory to run at full speed; requires three or six memory DIMMs for best performance
