So guys, it all boils down to this. Core i7 is a majestic processor series leading far in the high-end stretch of things. The money you will need to put down on the table for the Core i7 975 XE of course can hardly be justified, but that is the reality of this very high-end game. Gaming wise remember this, only if you have a multi-GPU setup... a processor like this would show enough advantage in your gaming experience to justify this purchase.
For those of you who consistently encode/transcode multimedia files the reality is simple, it won't get any better than with this CPU for a long time. However in a normal situation with normal daily usage of the PC and playing games with say, a single Radeon HD 4890 or GeForce GTX 285... you will not benefit from a processor clocked this fast, that's a sheer reality as well.'

'The i7 975 is a nice CPU and one that will fit nicely at the top of the Intel i7 line-up. The performance in rendering was very impressive and cannot be overlooked, but in the end if you are doing media encoding or are a gamer there is not much to be had with this CPU.
Overclocking was a little bit of a disappointment with all of the hype about people getting 5GHz on air cooling. However, we will be looking further into this issue and we expect that many will hit a similar wall as we did.
If you want the best of the best the i7 975 is the best single socket CPU solution you can get and it will certainly improve any content creation you are considering. But for the majority of us the i7 975 is still a little on the expensive side and the gains might not be worth the extra cost right now'
