Intel I7 processors

Hey Guys,

Been doing a bit of reading up on the new intel i7 cores and the impact they have for overall processing power.

Although the technlogy isnt strictly new, personally I think that they will have a pretty big impact on the overall rendering times and performance of PC's.

Looking at the review in 3d world of one of the speced up machines, it was only 25% slower than a dual Xenon system, and it trounced any other sinlge processor.

When they get more mainstream, which Dell are on their way to making by giving a PC with i7, I feel that they will be the standard in a few months, and become cheaper, and more affordable.

What do you guys think?

The new standard

Or

Nah it wont take off
