umm yes., but what people are not udnerstanding. Fine @ stock settings the Quad shows better. But now lets take the E6850 @ 4ghz and compare it to the Quad @ 3.2ghz. What would we see then. This is what people are wanting to see.

(not saying all 6850's will hit 4 ghz but it looks like a good shot) :P

But then again. Someone stated above. Penryn is coming Q4 07. And yes. OCTOO.. 12 mb cache we are speaking.

They are releasing a hole line of processors. one being 3ghz stock 45nm 12mb cache for $890 . Soooooo Regardless of your purchase now. Penryn is just around the corner.
