Problem is: after Bloomfield is Westmere, Sandy Bridge, etc. I don't know about Westmere, but Intel showed (in IDF maybe, can't remember) some info suggesting SB will use the same CPU+IMC+PCIe on-die Lynnfield uses, and I must say it's the logical next step. If that turns to be true then the overclocking results and methods of Lynnfield can be very important to determine how the overclocking world is going to be in the future.
