Was just doing a bit of customizing of a Z and I discovered that there is no ETA on the US Sony page if you select the i7-620 CPU and the option for the CPU is grayed out in the Japanese page ( with a note saying that CPU is unavailable and they don't have any lead times )
Anyone know then they will be getting more stock

I'd recommend the i5-540M. It's so much cheaper and isn't that far behind the i7-620 in benchmarking tests.
-
From my understanding Sony is planning to come with a z11 review in mid june and it will have i7. Yes i missed the chance to purchase it in march and now i am waiting because i7 it is a much better option (this is the reason why is gone)
-
the reason is the core 2010 shortage....
-
I spoke to Brett at conics and was told that Sony are out of stock for 7-8 weeks for i7-620
-
I have my reason to rather get i7 instead of i5: the L3 cache.
-
I never understand why ppl say that re: i5 v i7. Cache is important, and I only paid $50 more for it.
-
Actually it's not just the cache that's different. The pure mhz speed is slightly slower and even the turbo boost is slower...
-
Sure you keep telling yourself the i5 is better.
