Perhaps i've been living under a rock for a while but there's some new intel's over at scan! linkys I see nout on Bit-tech New Core i3's Intel 990x
They've been there for about a week or so, I'm sure. Yes, that 35w i3, I'd love to know how that stacks up...
Intel PR have been keeping an extremely low profile since the Sandy Bridge cock-up . However, it now looks like it's time to give them a poke as I've had a 990X in my desk drawer since autumn, but hadn't reviewed it yet as the launch date hadn't been decided.
Might be able to tell you in about 2 weeks as got to build an ITX system for work as a "test machine" - seems to be a lack of socket 1155 ITX mobos around. Going to match it to an SSD drive and pop it in an Antec ISK-100 case.
So it's going to be the "Can 1366 still hold its own against 1155?" I look forward to finding out. I'm sure you'll do a better job than a certain somebody who reviewed TDU2 and gave it 4/10 even though it's an absolutely AWESOME game (I know it's subjective but still it's awesome) Thing is it's like Neptune's Pride. Not as fun if you don't know other people playing it. It's often the online elements where the game really shines. Anyway /off-topic 6/12 vs ring bus 4/8 Gonna be fun Let us know what the shy peeps at Intel say
