Dalo Harkin Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Intel is not expected to officially launch the Core i7 processor until November 17, but that hasn't stopped some online retailers from putting up early listings for the CPUs about a week ahead. PC Connection, for instance, is listing the 2.66GHz Core i7 920 processor with 8MB of cache memory for $334 and the 2.93GHz Core i7 940 for $662 – an approximate markup of 18 percent over their suggested retail price. Meanwhile, PC Mall is hiking prices even more with the Core i7 920 listed for a pre-order price of $384, the Core i7 940 for $722, and the 3.2GHz 965 “Extreme” version of the i7 for $1,250. The higher street prices are not surprising as this reflects pent-up demand for the product. PC Connection is also listing no fewer than seven motherboards based on the Intel X58 Express chipset, priced between $261.38 and $463.98, with the MSI X58 Platinum being the cheapest of the bunch.
