Reports have reached us that the Intel Gulftown Core i7 970 has started shipping in the US and Europe with the asking price set around 850 euros/$900.
This processor is a 32nm six core Gulftown cpu which runs at 3.2ghz and has 12mb of Level 3 cache and just like the 980x has 6 cores and 12 threads with HT enabled. Most motherboard manufacturers will be supporting this with a simple bios update from their website.

KitGuru has done a heap of testing with AMD Zen 5 CPUs and each time we think we have finished we seem to start testing all over again. After our initial CPU reviews we got news from AMD about the impact of Windows 11 24H2 and once we had checked that out we decided to compare every generation of AMD Zen, starting with Ryzen 7 1800X and coming right up to date with Ryzen 7 9700X.

Serious wads of $$$$$
1055T for me this month and hopefully cranked to 4ghz on the austrian sandwich 🙂
Damn, still to expensive for my taste!
