Let's not forget that this is next-gen stuff against a faily aged AMD setup. The only reason that there's such a hype is that people didn't expect Intel to come back from the dead in such a way (and that Intel loves causing hypes

). Anyway, looks like a great performer though the really high clockrates are being achieved under a vcore (4.0!!?) that probably makes the chip useless within weeks, unless electromigration gets less of a problem at 65nm, which i doubt. I'm still hoping AMD counters this with something equally surprising.
