Intel's 6-core i7-970 Shipping for $899

AMD’s hexacore processors have been on the market for quite some time and it seems like Intel has finally caught up in this multithread race. The $899 Intel i7-970 clocks at 3.2 Ghz and packs a hefty 12 MB of L3 cache. This Gulftown based CPU is manufactured using 32mm architecture. Though a maximum overclocked speed was not mentioned, we’re guessing this processor will also use Intel’s “Turbo Boost” found on its other Core 2010 brothers. Now its time for AMD and Intel to fight once again on the hexacore battlefield! (but remember, safety first kids)…
