  • Six-core or hexa-core? Hexa falls in line with the dual/tri/quad scheme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.39.79.11 (talk) 01:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cleared up language. The way it was worded made it sound like it would be a 13 nm chip. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Guymontague (talkcontribs) 14:56, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I seriously doubt the Extreme version will run at 2.4GHz and cost $999, that's contrary to every Intel EE Cpu ever launched. You'd see the $1000 part go at, at least 3Ghz. --Ghaib (talk) 03:33, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Extreme has nothing to do with clock speed, and also the C2Q QX6700 was a 2.66GHz part, C2D X6800 was 2.93GHz. It's a $1000 (presumably) part, but it will go as fast as it can go within reasonable thermal limits, and if that's somewhere in the region of 2.4GHz, then that's what the clock speed will be. It'll still be an EE CPU, because it's the first 6-core Nehalem based CPU from Intel, and therefore will be effectively the highest end CPU, but that doesn't give any kind of clockspeed requirements.

There is a site testing the Gulftown CPU in a dual-socket configuration at 3.06 GHz base and overclocking to 4.5+. Intel's six-core Gulftown is performing well. Jasper Deng (talk) 19:17, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also earlier samples running at 2.4 GHz don't mean that the final clock is going to be that. Oftentimes the final clock is much higher, and keep in mind, these testers don't always use the best versions. Jasper Deng (talk) 02:08, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fudzilla[edit]

  • Please do not cite Fudzilla (fudzilla.com), as they never cite sources themselves and most of their writing is purely speculative. --Ghaib (talk) 17:20, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction[edit]

And the Intel Nehalem (microarchitecture) article says that Gulftown's clock is 3.06 GHz and not 2.4 GHz. More on that article's talk page. Jasper Deng (talk) 01:08, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Another contradiction is that other pages in the W9ikipedia indicate that Gulftown will be sold as Core i9, not Core i7. Please resolve this contradiction if you know the truth of the matter. Allthenamesarealreadytaken (talk) 00:06, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Look at this picture. Cupy 52040 (talk) 01:24, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If you search for Gulftown details, the most recent and updated sites will tell you that Gulftown is officially branded as Core i7 Extreme Edition, according to PCOnline.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.75.72.149 (talk) 10:04, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • As far as I can tell, the updates have been made on the pages the complaints were about, so I'll remove the tags. 68.51.12.242 (talk) 03:41, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How can a processor be ill?[edit]

"Gulftown or Westmere-EP is the codename of a sick six-core..."

Ok, I know that this is slang, but it seems like it's POV issue. Don't know if this should be edited, but why not make it general in that case... Perhaps change it to: "Gulftown or Westmere-EP is the codename of the ULTIMATE BESTEST EVAR, EVEN BETTAR THAN THE B4 ULTIMATE BESTEST EVAR six-core..." It would be along the same lines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.183.248.38 (talk) 16:30, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Only, in your suggested revision, it would be MOAR TRU!!1i129.2.129.153 (talk) 23:13, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
