No, both of those were with the multi knocked down to 20. Base clock goes up to 200 easily and you can probably guess what the most I got out of it was.

As for comparisons to Core2 Quads, they are both 45nm with High-K gates and they clock about as well as each other the unanswered question for me is the performance improvement from the Ci7 architecture, SMT & Tri Channel memory.
