The lineup is now believed to be headlined by low-powered S versions of the Core i5-750 and i7-860 that will run all four cores at 2.4GHz and 2.53GHz respectively; they should use just 82W of power versus 95W or more and fit into tighter spaces. Each will have 8MB of ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/27/intel.2010.desktop.cpus.to.hover.at.3ghz/ Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/24/ibuypower.preps.four.store.specific.game.pcs/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/ibuypowernewegg.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />iBuyPower this afternoon refreshed the ready-made gaming PCs it ships to NewEgg.
