Online Stores Begin to Sell Intel Core i7 Microprocessors

From X-bit Labs: Several online stores have begun offering their clients the much-talked-about Intel Core i7 microprocessors ahead of Intel’s official deadline on the 17th of November. The situation could be easily foreseen since Intel Corp. began shipping its code-named Bloomfield processors for revenue a long time ago.

At least some stores listed at Froogle.com, PriceWatch.com and Shopping.com offer to order various Intel Core i7 processors now and promise to ship them within three days, which means that if a customer is lucky enough, he or she will get the chip already this week, ahead of the official commercial launch date. Meanwhile, some stores claim that the chips are for pre-order only and will ship or even arrive to the store on the 17th.

It is interesting to note that stores in Europe do not fall behind online shops in the U.S.: according to Geizhals.at price-search engine, there are tens of opportunities to acquire Intel Core i7 central processing unit (CPU) in Europe too.

In addition to microprocessors themselves, it is also not hard to acquire mainboard that supports chips in LGA1366 form-factor, appropriate cooling system as well as triple-channel DDR3 memory module kit designed specifically for Core i7/Bloomfield processors.
