There are going to be some good overclocks on the cheaper models, I reckon.

Shouldn't unconfirmed leaks be 'beans' rather than news?

Wern't there reports saying overclocking the i7s is going to be a bitch?
Heavy overclockers should be ok as they'll be used to fiddling with everything, but casual overclockers like me are going to be stumped.

haven't they already used 920 as a model number?

920, 940 and 965 were all used as model numbers for Presler Pentium D's.

With there now being an i7 9-series I'm not quite sure what naming scheme Intel is going for, having expected a Xeon-esque naming scheme.

Intel is yet to officially confirm model numbers, specifications and pricing, and the above should be taken with a pinch of salt.

so the model numbers could be changed.

Considering this is intels first breed of CPUs using integrated memory controller i would predict that things like overclocking etc may be a little sketchy, I remember hearing that they may be locked from overclocking? the pros will always find a way though.

Still the cost of the low end one looks promising for my after Christmas plans!
