Intel has
rolled out the Core i7 920 with the new D0 stepping revision today.
TankGuys.com, a popular enthusiast hardware distributor, has recently listed the retail edition Core i7 920 D0 stepping CPU on its site with pre-order spots going for $5 and final pricing going for $319.99. The chips are expected to ship out on March 25th, yet interestingly enough the site claims them to already be in stock.
Contrary to the delightful price drop we've seen on C0 stepping chips, this revision will retail for an average starting price of $284 in quantities of 1000. Yet, the $320 price point that TankGuys has listed seems most sensible for popular e-tailers and distributors.
