Surprized this chip hasn't been talked about here yet. Seems AMD is striking gold with 45nm compared to the disaster they had with 65nm. This should compete with the Q9650. Still not reaching Nehalem's performance levels but at least they are showing signs of catching up even if very late. Something to hold them until Bulldozer arrives in 2011, though Lynnfield this fall will keep the upper hand firmly in Intel's court.
Wonder how these will OC? 4.5 GHz? Then if they reach 4.0 GHz how far will those go? They also talk about a new 785 chipset which will hopefully also be impressive.
