Simply put, there would be no point to it. Lynnfield isn't supposed to compete with top-end i7's. The point of the comparison is to see how it stacks up against the top-end Phenom II's and Core2's, as well as the entry level i7-920. The 975 blows everything else out of the water, so why skew the charts by including it?

OK - I'll bite... How about "Because an i7 975 is a Bloomfield, not a Lynnfield."

------------------------------ Which Chip? Well, it depends on which set of thieving b@stardz you choose to support: The ones who use insider trading to enrich themselves while running their company into the ground, or the ones who illegally pay vendors to not support the first group.

The i7 975 Extreme Edition is way out of the price range of all of those chips. I highly doubt people who are looking at buying a Lynnfield are really trying to decide between those units and a $1000+ i7 975. You see the Phenom II X4s and such in there as they are in the same price as the Lynnfields.

------------------------------ Upcoming Overdue Build: Dual-socket workstation, ~32 GB DDR3, OS on a fast SSD, high-end GPU, all wrapped up in a huge tower case. Coming H2 2011.

Yes, I am actually still running the Pentium III 1.0B Coppermine in the picture.
