Perhaps not, but a 2.4GHz 4M L2 and 2.67GHz 4M L2 certainly will be on the market, so meeting or exceeding these scores shouldn't be a problem with easily accessible parts once it is released in volume.

Cedar Mill P4's can do 50% overclocks on air from couple of months back, its nothing new with conroe.

You need i-Ram drive for that top 20 (and futuremark are criminal for banning them !) + conroe and don't forget CF X1900XT. :D
