Hi to everyone thats my first post here.

The increased clocks sound good to me...
Remember a few days back some AMD exec said that K10 is performing up to 50% better (?) than Kensfield on the same clock... But everyone knows that Intel will raise their clocks conciderably, so most likely they will perform pretty much the same given a same price frame.
Overclocking and ease of upgrade will win our hearts this time...

It wont be so easy. If intel going to have higher cloacks just to match the performance with amd, then Intel has to be sure that it would left enough room for overcloacking it, otherwise ocing the Amd chip with the lower cloacks to higher you will have again the same 50% lap in perfomance.

Yep, you are right for pointing that out, but bare in mind that 45nm proces used will surely alow intel to stay in the current tdp, and the whole architecture has proven it self to be made for OCing.
I agree, with you and can't wait to se the end results, and I hope AMD will surprise us with great OCability but I not betting on them in recent light
