    Any chance of these chips showing up in Clevos?

    If the desktop Pentium 4 appeared in notebooks, then the i7 will appear in Clevos (in time[after it is released?]) .

    we went over this a number of times here.

    Clevo will definitely be the first to do it.

    But the when cannot be confirmed.

    look towards CeBIT2009

    Clevo has used CeBIT in recent years to debut new models with latest technology that no other notebook ODM is able to even design.

    They design the craziest notebooks first. :D

    What everyone else said. Until something else significant gets leaked, or we hit CeBIT2009, there's no point in chewing this cud anymore.

    Although one could find chewing cud quite enjoyable and a wonderful means of passing the time.

    Possibly, but, like cheap gum, this one's gone all stale and tasteless for now. :D

    They are 20% faster than Core 2 Quads, clock for clock, and will of course need an X58 motherboard. Good news however is that X58 boards support SLI so a bonus on the GPU front again :)

    On a side note if anyone is looking for a desktop X58/i7 system then they won't be dissappointed with the speed - we've been running a Rampage II Extreme with a 940 CPU for a while and it's super fast :D

    How does it deal with current software, in particular games? I've seen suggestions here and there that, because current apps are optimized for systems using the FSB architecture, that those apps may not run as smoothly on the radically different architecture of Nehalem/i7.

    TBH we haven't run any games yet however 3DMark06 certainally likes them - 24K with a single 4870 X2 and a moderate OC to 4GHz.

    If that's moderate, I'd love to see extreme!
