Yea I think so too, but 2.83GHz part is fine as long as it clocks to 3.7~3.8GHz on air and price is sub 300 EUR which I'm sure it is as it's quite a while until Lynnfield launch still and i7 920 2.66GHz is sub 300 EUR so 2.83GHz i5 I'd really expect to at least match the one step lower clocked i7 920 in price by then. Hope we can expect to see such overclocks though, I have a feeling they'll come close in average to like 3.5 ~ 3.7GHz but not quite 3.8GHz other than on golden samples or going very excessive on cpu voltage.
