lawls, who buys the 920 now? the 930 is like 10$ more.

 

[malael]

lol man i hate that the moment i buy something bam a new product pops out thats like 10 times better i just had to rma my 920 if only i had waited for the 930... either way i dont have luck with newegg it probably would have came busted too =[

 

[builderbobftw]

The i7-930 isn't 10 times better than the 920, it like 1% faster. The only reason i like it so much is cuase it's the same price as the 920, wich was a good deal at 300$ to start.

** W R O N G ! ! ** Oh, Buzzard Breath !

The 930 clocks (typically) to 4.2GHz (+1 base mult) and benchmarks (overall) at ~15%~ better than a 920 ... The advantage scales w/OC.

Not any reason to be sad if you just bought a 920.

read some more benchmark reviews.

 

[builderbobftw]

Oh nevermind. Not me lol.

Yes ! Apologies 2B SURE !

If you want to know where the true credit for best answer, It would have to go to the original site (&community) ... Like the guy who originally brought it to the site's attention ... Like the staff, of the site, for recognizing and reacting to the full dimentionality (global scandal!) of the "breech". ... and , like, to Al Gore, for inventing THE INTERNET ... and to ARPA, for inventing AL GORE !

= good fun, all this! =

Cheap Marketing Exposure, Too !

I personally think it's funny how people actually think this was some giant conspiracy by NewEgg. How could a huge, reputable company like that think it would be profitable to ship demo boxes and be forced to RMA all of them anyway?
That'd be a loss.

 

[Alvin Smith]

Sometimes things are exactly what they appear to be ...

The video pretty much proves a sophomoric scam . . .

Newegg is "GOLDEN !" (egg, that is) ... they are FAR too busy updating their database!

Now, INTEL, on the other hand . . .

= kidding =

 

[builderbobftw]

Meh, this would have been about 3 times funnier if it was done with i7-975s.

I mean right now this is about a 7/10 on a LOLZ scale.

If it was done with i7-975s, it would have been a 9/10.

 

[wiinippongamer]

and what would be 10/10?

Military Grade Xeons

 

[builderbobftw]

The chip firing up, and then all you could hear would be "My roflcopter goes soi soi soi soi"
