Would be nice if true.

WOW sounds exciting, hopefully this keeps competiton going and prices nice and low the way I like em.

I'm still thinking of going to Deneb for my next upgrade as i can keep my 4GB of DDR2 ram and just swap motherboard and cpu.

Great googley moogely, this would be great for everyone if it worked out to be the norm.

The key question is - 4.3GHz at what voltage?

http://forum.coolaler.com/show...ad.php?t=191848&page=2 It took 1.6V to get 4GHz from a C1 stepping Deneb ES, hopefully the release stepping will improve on that as I can't fathom 1.6V being sustainable for long term usage.

Yeah, but they get to use the Polar Ice Cap for cooling! Not Fair!

But seriously, if true that is genuinely exciting. I would love to see AMD get back in the game.

LOL it took me a second to get that gibe at their cooling accessories . as for AMD getting back in the game i would be quite happy to see this happen. AMDs latest board roundup has a lot of nice features i would love to see in my new desktop that intel doesnt, but until the performance gap and the OC gap between the 2 closes considerably im going to go with intel still. also, will they be releasing deneb in a dual core variant? that would be quite interesting to see as a competitor to the E8x chips instead of their X4 phenoms lmao

I totally wish I could take my 780G board and pop my E8400 in it.

Yep, but for gaming Phenom is already just as fast as Core 2. I would actually love to see the power consumption come down considerably to compete with Core 2.

okk lets see 1.6V @ 4G vs a intel's core i7 @ 2.66 with fixed multipliers....

I have a question even with the fixed multiplier how much would we be able to overclock the core i7 920... The reason why i ask this is games genrally dont like more cores they like more speed and memory.. Deneb has memory and so does core i7 but i wanted to ask about raw speed per core...

OH BTW SEE THIS h**p://w*w.coolaler.com.tw/toppc/AMD45NM/4G.JPG ahahahahahahhaaaaaa

An i7 will overclock to 11.

Seriously, your asking about overclocking two cpu's that aren't even released yet.
