New (green) Intel CPUs january 18th and new SSDs/Pricecuts

[WhiteFireDragon]

how will this lower power consumption affect OC's? i'm sure (almost) no one on here keeps their chips at stock speed. hoping that lower power means a lower VID, so more headroom to increase the vcore. hopefully this translates to higher clocks at the same vcore as the current q9550 E0

as for the SSD's, are there any benchmarks to compare the 80GB X25-M (MLC) to the 32GB X25-E (SLC)?

The lower power chips are binned to work on lower stock voltages, this will then result in lower power consumption. For us it means the CPU has more headroom in general as you can still increase the voltage to the same level as the 'normal' version of the chip, but you start from a lower 'starting position'.

I haven't seen very many X25-E benchmarks yet, only HDTune & STR
