    They're new. Memory controller on board the cpu die, just like amd processors. some benchie showing 20 to 30% performance increase. but certainly that would depend on the programs too.

    Im afraid im gonna need to close this thread. The i7 is a desktop processor and is irrelevant to this forum

    Discussions about desktops should be made at www.desktopreview.com

    Thread closed.
