   Core i7 975 might ship in a couple of weeks

Retailers expect them in stock soon

Intel's new flagship Core i7 975 processor should launch in early April, at least if the several retailers and distributors who have it listed are right.

Retailers expect to have the new Bloomfield in stock in the first week of April, and as expected the list price is €995 or more, depending on the market. The Core i7 975 Extreme Edition runs at 3.3GHz, has a total of 1MB of L2 cache and 8MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 130W.

We were expecting the 975 in late April or May, so it is possible that the retailers are just using an earlier date to get more pre-orders. Anyway you can find some of the listings here and here.

Alex can you guys shed some light on this for us, or are you guys in the dark like us? 

TIA

	is there any way that i could send my rig to DS, and have them swap out my current processor with a 975? those things sound real cool.

	well yes but you would spend a lot of money, and I'm not sure what gains you would see, if you have an i7 already, just wait for Gulftown

	Will the 975 be replacing the 965? (unlocked multiplier?)
