I cant get mucro asia on the phone.. how long would it be if i ordered with rush order??

There is no rush order.
The orders are in the queue.
Orders come from various vendors worldwide.

Clevo started shipping 8150 to vendors 1-2 weeks ago.
Clevo has been shipping 8170 to various vendors this week.
Many people are waiting in the queue.

Talk/PM to Mucro and see whether he/she can help you in "rush order" or not.

SB-i7-2630 is faster than any Nehalem-quad.
Look the performance difference of i7-2630, i7-2720 and i7-2920
Look at the % of performance gain.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Intel-...rs.43714.0.html
i7-2720QM has the sweetest spot in price/performance.

Gotta agree based on that i7-2720QM is worth the $$.. you need to pay much more for 2920XM and get just that "little" boost. Based on 3dmarkvantage CPU test.

Not only the little boost, 2920XM processors allow overclocking. But then again, most end users do not go that far towards the laptop use.

Just some additional info.
i7-2720QM is ranked No.15 in the world.
Whereas, i7-2630 is ranked No.51.
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php

No rank for i7-2820 & i7-2920 yet.
It could be in between No.10-14.

We have not seen mobile processors in such high rank in the history of microprocessor. SB microprocessors are monsters.

Yeap, this is what has been said.
It is still a hefty price for overclocking.
