Hmmmm. The pricing of the 870 would make sense if you make the 7 a 4 (coincidentally next to each other on the pad).

Yeah, £700+ has to be a typo, surely ?

Must be a typo, Intel would be shooting themselves in the foot. Even the Core i5 is pricey, but give it a month and it will go down.

Exactly. An introductory price of £428 makes a lot of sense when the i7 940 is ~£400.

Maybe it is the extreme chip with unlocked multi, they charge alot more than the locked chips for these.

Let's see how the 860 clocks, might be more worthwhile getting the 920 if it doesnt overclock that well.

Im sure it will clock just fine , maybe better than X58. I cant remember a Quad core that did not clock well in the last year. Of this sort of calibre anyway.
