hipro5 Gives Us Early Yorkfield Action: 4.5Ghz+ On Air !!!

[RPGWiZaRD]

The standard average will be Penryn = 4.0Ghz Conroe = 3.0Ghz.

Metroid.

I think more like a 3.6GHz Conroe clock corresponds to 4GHz Yorkfield, sth like that in terms of how easily it reaches that clock. I predict more like about 500MHz higher clocks from Penryn (same cpu multi comparision and with 9x multi or higher discluding mobo limitation) in avg if we disclude people that didn't try maxing it out.

hipro5's looks to be a bit above avg but perhaps C1 or C2 stepping or sth like that will also produce results like these more than in a few cases as well. Q9450 will be more interesting for most people than QX9650 as it's too expensive for most people and with a 8x multi I wouldn't be suprised if ppl max out around 8x 470~490 most often due to motherboard becoming the limiting factor.
