because of the 5-10% increase in clock to clock performance vs current conroe chips, and the possibility to clock to around 4.5ghz on air. that will probably be the biggest evolutionary step i have ever seen. i bet we will see 4ghz oc's on quads be a common thing with penryn.

so i would have to say that it should offer a pretty hefty performance boost for an evolutionary step, and thats what is causing the excitement.

no big thing really, the better intel performs, the better amd has to perform. we all win.
