Intel Core i7 review roundup
We’ve already seen a few benchmarks of Intel’s new Core i7 processor, but if you’re still craving some more details about Intel’s latest and greatest you now have plenty more than that to chew on, with reviews, overviews, and yet more benchmarks pouring in left and right. As you might expect, most sites are describing the CPU as a very big deal for Intel, with the folks at Maximum PC even going so far as to call it the company’s “most significant CPU launch in, well, ever.” What’s more, as those early benchmarks hinted at, it doesn’t look like there’s too many folks disappointed with the new processors, with even the “low end” Core i7 920 able to defeat the higher clock speed Core 2 Quad Q9650 “over and over” according to TechSpot, a feat due in large part to the CPU’s on-die memory controller and Intel’s new QPI technology. The first few systems shipping with the processor also look to have been fairly well received, with Slash Gear finding that Gateway’s new Core i7 920-based FX6800-01e delivered a reasonable but not revolutionary upgrade over its Core 2 Quad-based predecessor, and Computer Shopper also finding plenty of things to like in new systems from Falcon Northwest and iBuypower, though the price of each of those systems is another matter. That, of course, is just skimming the surface, and if you’ve got a few hours to spare, you can find plenty more to keep you busy by diving into the links below.

Help!
I really really need some help! I’m just a 16 year old kid, and it’s not like I’m going to waste this money, right?
But here is what I AM going to do with it: I want to register a domain (it’s a secret, I don’t want anyone registering it before me!) and start a brand new, Technology-related blog. Once I’m up and running will this, the use of ads and affiliates promotion should cover the costs.Â
It’ll be absolutely great if you could chip in, any amount from a few dollars to fifty dollars, any amount would help me a lot! Thanks.

First Post.
Great. I created my first blog. Actually, I created loads. But I never bothered posting anything. Well, here’s turning a new leaf and this is the blog I’m actually going to blog about something!
