[PLUG] i7 860 in India?

[Sarang Lakare]

Does anyone know when we'll get the new intel chip: i7 860 in India?
It seems the i5 is readily available, but the i7-860/870 are not. I am
waiting to get my hands on it. Is anyone aware of any issues running
Linux on these chips? I mean, I know it will work, but is the kernel
optimized for extracting every bit of performance from the features
that these have to offer.

If anyone knows a retailer selling this chip, then do let me know.

Thanks
Sarang
