Go to the next level of multi-core performance.
Intel Core i7 processors deliver an incredible breakthrough in quad-core performance and feature the latest innovations in processor technologies:
Intel® Turbo Boost technology maximizes speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload—more performance when you need it the most.²
Intel® Hyper-Threading technology enables highly threaded applications to get more work done in parallel. With 8 threads available to the operating system, multi-tasking becomes even easier.³
Intel® Smart Cache provides a higher-performance, more efficient cache subsystem. Optimized for industry leading multi-threaded games.
Intel® QuickPath Interconnect is designed for increased bandwidth and low latency. It can achieve data transfer speeds as high as 25.6 GB/sec with the Extreme Edition processor.
Integrated memory controller enables three channels of DDR3 1066 MHz memory, resulting in up to 25.6 GB/sec memory bandwidth. This memory controller's lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.
Intel® HD Boost significantly improves a broad range of multimedia and compute-intensive applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle, allowing a new level of processing efficiency with SSE4 optimized applications.

So we get back to my original question: "Is the i7 all hype?" Looking at the physical architectural differences between the i7 and the Core 2 series, Intel has made some significant changes in their new processor line. The Nehalem is not just a warmed-over Core 2 Quad, there are enough changes in th

So far I haven't had any issues with this CPU. If you have good enough airflow in your case the stock cooler will more than enough to keep it cool even under heavy loads, unless you want to overclock the cpu.

Got a D0, will do 4.2GHz on air with high voltage, but couldn't take the load temps. 4.0GHz x 1.35v

Just the memtest when I built my comp with this beast amazed me. I recommend it over any lga1156 because of triple channel ram ddr3 that really makes a difference.

Received a D0 stepping version of this, extremely good overclocking capability, with a lower voltages required from the previous stepping. Will not bottleneck any video card out at the moment.

Bought this i7 920 for a new build 2 months ago. I immediately noticed that the stock cooler was not really efficient, and proceeded to purchase a Coolermaster V8, which definitely helped. At stock speeds, temperatures rarely go over 33C. Got it in a 24h sale at $299+tx so was a good deal for the chip (which is a D0 BTW), but X58 systems are still expensive. Otherwise go for it!

I bought this for my new build and I must say, it is very fast. Even at stock speeds, everything loads up very quickly. Windows 7 boots up in about 20 seconds. The only problem is that it heats up a lot and very quickly. At stock with my Corsair H50, the load temperatures were at 60 degrees. In all, I would really recommend this processor for anyone diving into Nehalem.

Waiting for video card and ram. Will post when I get things up and running. Price was good at$329. and I recieved a chip made in June of 09, batch 3910A379. Shipping was a little slow but you get what you pay for(or didnt pay for).

This mixed with a decent aftermarket cooler (Noctua HN-U12P SE1366 in my case) can give your friends a serious case of overclockers' envy! Without even trying I was able to run the clock speed up to 3.8GHz and with a bit of time I'm sure that getting it stable at 4.0+ GHz would be no problem at all.
