Re: Fry's selling Core i5 early

Interesting! Prices will probably scale to 2.86GHz=+$300, 2.93GHz=+$500

I was going to get a Lynnfield but now I am of the i7-920 OC Like Hell Club and glad. My CPU without being OC'd sits at 2.93Ghz with Turbo in idle but has 4 more threads (HT). I can OC it to 3.6GHz full time.
