Wolfdales Offically Released Today!

So I've been poking around at different websites and the new intel cpus are still hard to find online for purchase. Many people have been getting them from microcenter retail locations nation wide and have been reporting their overclocking results. Apparently, they can reach 4+Ghz on air which is amazing! http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=173909 Regardlessly, it would be nice to see some official word from dell on the 680i's support for the wolfdale core. I'd hate to buy one only to not have it work :)

    From everything I've gathered on the internets, the 680i can physically support it. I guess the question we're looking for is whether or now Dell will update the bios to allow the motherboard to run them. EVGA has stated that they are updating their bios this week to support the proc: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=226145 Come on Dell, make us proud owners!

    These guys say they have them in stock. They have a little mark-up on them though.

    most likey never...the 720 is on the end of life cycle...the 730 is reportedly due out within the next 3-4 months..and these will more than likely have the newer processors in them..
     
    The only way they will more then  likely work will be with a bios update...and if i was a betting man...
    think we all will be curious as to how Gdwrnch3 makes out...
