it'll break my heart if they dont...but pretty sure there will be...

Final Thoughts

As for general performance, we can say Core i7 > Core i5 > Core i3. According to our test, Core i5-750 delivers about 90 percent performance of Core i7-920.

Besides, Core i5 brings us something exciting, such as lower power consumption, greater OC potential and etc.

Targeting mid-range segment, Core i5 is more affordable. It’s available in China for RMB1599 (US$234), which is much cheaper than Core i7-920. Considering the pricing of most P55 motherboards, it’s much cheaper to build a Core i5-750 than Core i7-920 platform.

With the emergence of Core i5 and the upcoming Core i3, Nehalem micro-architecture processors will become more and more popular with ordinary consumers.

Hi guy,

I just bought i5, GA-P55-UD4P & Corsair XMS3 2x2GB 1333 Mhz.
I think you can get it at lowyat..i think so.
Lucky today i went to xxx to shop my new rig.
Accidentally, the xxx sales guy ask me interested on this i5.
I say ......yes off course. So i bought it right away..... stock is really limited.

If no i waste my money to buy the P45 Mobo & Quadcore.
What a saving based on performance and technology.........

What i know this i5 will launch at September....

xxx=Cycom also

I bought RM 7xx for i5 2.66 Ghz

Whatever, I'm not gonna buy it anyway

i have no choice..........My PC is old enough.

not considering i7 860?

I been told about this...........
Intel what to standard all the i3,i5,i7,i9 same socket.
My manual on the GA-P55-UD4p state about the i7 with socket 1156 can be use.......
Sorry about the 1166.....is 1156.

Attached thumbnail(s)

after thinking about saving only 2 hundred bucks juz for slight decrease in performance, i think i rather fill up those few hundred and get a more solid i7-920, for the 2-way x16 PCI-E.

ya but now i kinda miss the i7-860's OC capability. and also i love the color theme of those plentiful P55 cards. LOL!

Added on August 27, 2009, 5:45 pmthe i7 comes with 2 variants, i7 Lynnfield on socket 1156 and i7 Bloomfield on socket 1366.

OIC.............I'm stuck at 1.83 Ghz core2 for 2 years........
And never update myself for the latest product.

you mean i7 got 2 socket......
i7 = socket 1366, i7 = socket 1156.
How about for the future expansion?
