just the new chip. i don't think it will be significantly faster than the 3.4 800fsb, but its nice to see progress.

it might be real, but its certainly not worth $1300

There are several reviews about it on the web, at least running at stock speeds compared to the regular 3.4, it don't look like it's worth the mega price tag. I'd be interested to know how it overclocks, but it's too expensive even for my deep pockets. Looks like a 2.8 clocked at 1066 (266 FSB) would beat a stock 3.46EE 1066 bus.

It's an option for consumers, just not a particularly great one for the money. The 1066FSB chip worth keeping an eye on will be the 3.73Ghz, to be released early next year. It's based on the Prescott core, but with 2M of L2 cache (as opposed to the 2M of L3 on today's EE chips).
