Even Intels highest bin on 45nm for a quad is 3,4ghz with 150W TDP on a HKMG 45nm process.

And thats a server processor... for consumers that binning would be north of 160W.
Hey we can dream right? People used to think 2GHz was a dream too.

And if I am remembering that article correctly, AMD's new 45nm SOI is pretty darn good, nearly as good as intel's HKMG 45nm process. Or maybe I'm not quite remembering the article right, but either way it is really good. And tbh, saying since intel's fastest is x chip at y speed doesn't neccessarily mean AMD's fastest couldn't be faster. Typically intel's CPUs have had higher clocks but that can always change. I'm not saying it will, just saying it is possible.
