Not to even mention that would be the biggest show of disrespect for the consumer I have ever seen.

I somehow find this outcome very hard to believe. I would have no issue with them keeping the specs and names on the 940/965 and improving the OC ability slightly compared to C0, but a new chip with new upper multiplier limit is just bull.
The Core i7 950 will replace the current 940 so the 975 due in may with an higher multiplier. So what i gather from your post is that intel should stick with i7 forever so your system is top for the next 3 yrs . I bought a opty 3 yrs ago and the next 6 month conroe came out and beat the pants off my AMD. This is how the technology market works, if you don't like it go back to your 486. If you wanna stay on top then be prepare to spend money every 3 month or so.
