Great if you're an LHe accessible oc enthusiast, sad if using Ln2 you can only pull off 6.5ghz. The great thing about the cedar's was Ln2 kept it cool.

Regardless, new tech is always fun tech especially when it be cheapah.

7.8 on the ES samples actualy.. which means... x.x or 8 ghz once in the hands of serious clockers.

Dont matter what intel ES chips clock worse than retail samples? Puhlease.

$300 for high end AMD... lol x79 chips are going to be a 500-1000 and aint even going to be complete

(funny that intel storage is worse than marvell storage now... look at the new chip from them whee about time that someone came out with a CPU accelerated chip that outperformed intels own storage CPU accelerated chip )

the chips they had yes were ES but on LN2 they were high 7's on the GHz scale but also remember that they are hand picked samples. they binned a bunch and wound up with 8 of them that did 8+ GHz

but as we know ES vs retail could be either bad or good we will have to see when retail arrives.
