Anyone know the price? These would be AWESOME for crunching!

This chip makes my E8600 4ghz 1.18v look like a hot Pentium! I'd love a new Intel chip that I can put the overclocks on without investing in an large water cooling loop.

I'm sure they got something cooking. But this isn't TOO exciting. Core 2 Duo's can already do similar, this just does it at lower voltage. The HT is cool, but if this is priced at around ~120$-150$ then AMD's 720 would be in direct competition as it's only at 120$ and has 1 more core and 1 one less thread.

Wait so 32nm... i remember that anything over 1.4v is no good for 45nm... I wonder what will be the max 32mn voltage - can't be much over 1.2/1.25.

It is the same, it is the same architecture as nehalem. Why would they make 2 separate technologies when nehalem works? Clarkdale and nehalem are very, very similar. Per core, cache is the same, so clock by clock, should be very similar.

That horrible crunching sound you all just heard?

That was Intel breaking AMD's spine over its knee.

More cache= more performance. A quad w/ 12mb of L2 will generally be a bit better clock for clock than a duo w/ 6mb. Perhaps you would be correct if it wasn't for the fact that the L3 is shared among cores, eliminating a per core comparison.

It probably is somewhat similar clock/clock performance, but your simply talking out of your ass. On paper they're actually pretty different, they make different technologies to fill different market segments. Clarkdale is nehalem, clarkdale is not bloomfield (i7).

Actually most of them you get here draw anywhere between 5~15 W. A CFL with the same wattage is a "100W bulb" if you know what I mean.
