Intel's 45nm Prices & Performance

[PRJ]

Intel soon to come CPU release has got me confused.

I am waiting for CPU upgrade to a top of the line quad, maybe the QX9650 but what about the E5xxx / X5xxx series are they even better?

Looking for the best OC suitable Quad, which are the very best?

Are the ones with the lower power consumption best. For an example the difference between the X5472 and the E5472 is 40 Watt?

Could one imagine that the 80 Watt would clock better, than the 120 Watt?

Thanks!
