Today Intel is officially unveiling their new Core i7 870, 860 and Core i5 750 processors, designed to work on the LGA1156 platform. The Core i5 750 will be the first mainstream Intel processor built using the Nehalem architecture, and at just $200, this is an exciting quad-core part. So get ready for a round of benchmarks, as we put these new processors to the test...

That said, we are still very pleased with the new LGA1156 platform simply because the Core i5 750 is such a stellar processor at just $200 US. This new mainstream processor is the perfect step down from the Core i7 920, as it stands to save users around $250 US on their CPU/MB/RAM combo. Users should be able to get their hands on a Core i5 750 combo with 4GB of memory and a P55 motherboard for around $400 US, which is amazing given the power.
