Intel Core i7 Extreme 975 for sale in UK
 

This is probably the result of a cock-up with an automated computer system, and we’re sure the offending pages will be taken down soon, but the situation has allowed us to get a glimpse of the potential pricing of the new chip. There’s a wide range of prices, from £860.09 inc VAT from Ballicom, to £994.37 inc VAT from Athema Supplies. More Computers (pictured) also has the processor listed for £905.18 inc VAT.

As a point of comparison, the Core i7 965 Extreme currently costs £817.31 inc VAT from Ballicom, so it looks as though the new chip will generally cost around £50 more than its predecessor. According to the sites, the Core i7 Extreme 975 has a 3.33GHz clock speed, compared with the Core i7 965’s 3.2GHz frequency. The sites also say that the 975 will also come with 8MB of Level 3 cache, which is the same amount found in the 965. As you would expect, the page on More Computers also says that the 975 is built using the same 45nm technology as its predecessors, and uses the same LGA1366 socket.
