I'm running out of cash here. What happened to the years between the 1.6A and 3.0Ghz where there was almost no performance improvement whatsoever? Lately it's been upgrade to X2, wait six months, upgrade to Conroe, wait six months, upgrade to kentsfield, wait six months, upgrade to yorkfield. JEZUS! Just stop it already!

You're making my 3.4Ghz 6400 setup look old and I just finished building it.

Haha, first Intel announces that they will ship their first 45 nm parts at the end of 2007, and now suddenly VR Zone comes out with quad core Penryn's clocked up to 4.73 GHz in Q3 2007 (4 to 6 months before what Intel said publicly).

While Intel has woken up from its deep slumber, I think this bit of enthusiasm may be too much. Still, I wouldn't be surprised by quad core 45 nm products in January, 2008 clocked in the mid 3 GHz range. AMD still has its work cut out for them.
