I think that saying this is a response to the new AMD hitting 5ghz is a little unfair. Weve seen retail nehalems at 5+Ghz already, no need to prove that. I think DrWho is just trying to shed some light on these new chips for us overclockers! We should be thanking him for his valuable insights and intricate knowledge of this architecture. Not trying to put the Red vs. Blue spin on it (god knows there are enough threads about that s(h)ift already just look in the news section).
