For me the fact that the i7 uses the L3 and QPI confirms what I thought early on - look at what a company like AMD a fraction of the size of intel can accomplish. Forward looking design that has some downfalls in comparison to intel that can throw quite a few more dollars into development - HT on i7 rocks.

Did AMD manage to reduce the latency in the cache much as a result of immersion lithography, or are the two not connected - and does the lack of highK mean this cache will continue to be the hold up of IPC?
Honestly the performance of P1 never put me off really either... it was the absurd power draw vs. performance. The 9950 125W is now a P1 finally tuned in well enough for me to tolerate.

I agree that is a nice clock for such low voltage. If every one of those 940s can do that, we're going to be in for some fun playing with these chips.

Ok, we're going to be in for some fun regardless. They are looking like a decent alternative to med-high Intel chips. Well on paper at least
I actually enjoy undervolting and OC'ing at the same time whilst running fully passive on a tower heatpipe cooler. Very fun, very silent.
