I couldn't agree more. Since I have witnessed a York running at 4.4 ghz @ 1.39v. I am very excited about recieving my york. I should say that I don't know what M/B was used on this system . But the guy that has it did say everthing came from Intel directly. He also said he is expecting the 2 socket M/B and cpu's shortly.
Now if and I said if . This M/B has 2 fsb's and runns on DDR3 . This is what I will buy. Not that I will ever use that kind of power. But it would be so cool to own.
My e-penis would be very large for sure. The one thing that would derail this line of thinking would be the O/C ability of a 2 socket system . But the way Intel has been exacuting lately it wouldn't surprize me if this is an overclocking monster also.
Now for those of you in denial about high clocked 4core penryns.
1). I have seen one.
2). Intel themselves have said penryn has ability to either save 20% in effiency or O/C by 20% at same v. Plus its between 10-20% faster @ same clocks. Depending on chipset and memory type. I suspect that DDR3 @ 1600 and low latency is going to bring about a sizeable increase in performance with the X38 chipset on penryn which will beable to take advantage of those faster DDR3 memory modules.
3). We have already seen some guys with G0 hitting 3.6 stable on QC . You add in a 20% increase in clocks on penryn . Thats 4.320ghz add on a very good water cooling system and 4.4 ghz is a no brainer . Since I have seen such a setup . I am more than a little excited about the prospects of PENRYN performance. Can you say 9 second super PI without getting giddy?
