when it retailed.. it wasnt the case
Yeah, could be, but making any predictions based on experience of older cpu's is pointless imho.

Look at all those retail X9650's that are floating around, each and everyone of them is as good or even better than the ES.

Now if just one guy came in and said that the ES would probably be better than retail version, i would probably have told him to sit and wait before making any predictions.

For these Penryns, it seems like all these guys joined forces and massively spread the word.

This thread ended all doubt and wiped their theory of the table in true XS style.

You gotta love it.
