Bleedingly Fast Intel Core i7 Chips Threathens to Bleed Me Dry
For those who have been dwelling in underground vaults and marvelling at how fast your Intel Core 2 processor is and how l33t you are, well, I got news for you. Intel has released their bleeding-ly fast successor to the Intel Core 2 with the Intel Core i7 processors and once again, kept bloody Moore’s Law alive and threatens to bleed my wallet dry.
It’s such a love hate relationship I have with processors and graphic cards. One would feel excited that technology is keeping up the pace and a great company like Intel creates great products like the Core 2. You wait a few months for the prices to plunge before making the purchase. You buy it after saving up for a couple months surviving on scraps from the rubbish dump and water from the bowl of your neighbours pet. And before you can bask in the full glory of owning one of the fastest processors around, Intel steps in and taps on your shoulder and says, “Oh! We have just released the Fastest Desktop Processor On The Planet! The Intel Core i7!!!”

At least I got to attend the media event to help me regain some love for Intel and I can always count on the peeps at Ogilvy to tickle me and Nadnut with the labelling of our media passes.

Yes, I was Christopher Tan for that night and no, I didn’t do anything kinky with Nadia Bennylava.
