The lower 45nm cpu's will be a better choice when ddr3 doesn't cost your soul.

How is that air cooler getting such a low temperature? 3c? 22c? Really bad software temp reading?

I'd say that is definitely the case. Motherboard software is always kind of iffy anyway.

That wont happen for quite a while...

They can sell large volumes of DDR2 or overpriced DDR3 - there is no need to drop the price...

Dude 4.7 on air is just nuts. I want a Quad that will get to 4+Ghz 24/7 on air. That would rule.

Wow.

4.7ghz on air means possibly 5ghz on water?

Something seems too good to be true.

to good to be true he oced a dual... my est is that the new 45nm dual's are 40-50watt tdp vs 45nm quads at 75watts. now the question for those out there wanting a faster rig. is not quad vs dual but what games do you play. as pointed out in another thread a q6600 at stock show 5-7FPS increase vs E6750. now even oced the E6750 beats the Q66 in ocing by 200mhz in that review. as i was tring to point out if your playing older games that were writen to use 2cores better then 4. Stick with the newer dual's lower TDP = higher oc.

just remember though intel promised 4ghz cpus, looks like they are here, well in sense.. i just wonder if a new 45nm dually would be able to do 4ghz on stock vcore...

I have no clue what you are talking about. Heh...

I was just amazed at the prospect that I might be able to hit 5ghz without extreme cooling.
