I have just got one of these 'new' Core i7 processors to power my new PC, and am so glad I did.
First let me say that it is important to try to get the D0 Stepping version as it is much improved over the old version, running cooler and able to overclock higher.
It has 4 cores (effectively 4 CPUs in one chip) and each of these can run 2 sets of instructions at once (hyper Threading), so it is like having 8 CPUs in your computer!
I have never overclocked anything before, yet was able drop in this processor, change one BIOS setting and instantly had it running at 3.4GHz instead of the default 2.66GHz. The amazing thing was that the temperature of the chip was barely any different from running at the stock speed!
I have now learnt a little more from the internet abd by changing just 10 settings in the BIOS, I have it running at 4.0GHz while still well within safe temperatures!
A must have if you want the fastest, best value PC around!

I bought this to drive my new MCPC that I use for work during the day and Media Centre evenings and weekends. I've not pushed it hard but with 6GB of DDR3 RAM, a high performance motherboard, Solid State boot drive, TV card, 1TB of disk the PC is just responsive. Very little waiting around for things to happen.It comes with the CPU heat sink and fan which is easily fitted but like all fans is noisy, so after testing I dumped it for Zalman Water cooling for a silent PC. The Zalman CPU block can cool this not problem. My Northbridge is now hotter than the CPU which I need to sort out next. All reviews show this is a great processor. I've no complaints and the quad core hyper threaded CPU barely gets taxed so should give me enough future proofing. WIn 7 RC runs well.

I bought this because the next i7 is fantastically expensive. My setup is an Asus P6T SE mainboard, 6GB Patriot Viper RAM, Western Digital Caviar black 1TB hard drive, ATI Radeon 4850 graphics card with this CPU and windows 7. So far I've only played GTA4 and Trackmania nations but both play very smoothly and look beautiful. Judging by all the reviews I looked at this CPU is definitely the way forward at the moment.
By the way, I build my own system and it was very easy. This CPU is a piece of cake to install and, as long as you buy the retail boxed version, rather than the oem version it comes with a perfectly adequate cooler, with thermal pad already attached so you don't need thermal paste. Note, however, that I don't overclock, if you intend to its probably worth buying a more industrial cooler.
