    Do we have one of these threads already? I know they aren't laptop processors yet, but I thought the reads were pretty good. Some amazing specs on that. And some extra reading:

    I'm just curious what Larrabee will do for integrated graphics performance. But about the Core 7, it certainly took Intel long enough to finally include a memory controller on die. :rolleyes:

    I know I am supporting AMD, Opteron FTW :D
    I just hope AMD's Shanghai can at least compete with the latest gen core 2 quads.
    I am still rooting for them, cause without AMD we would be buying $500 Pentium 4's still

    Do we have any indications when these will be available in pre-built systems from Dell, HP, etc?

    Gateway has the FX6800-01e gaming desktop with Core i7. Several reviews out for it already.
