    While this is not quite probable(at least the top model),the very 3.5Ghz frequency is just 16% over stock 3Ghz clock of the 940 and just 12% over the upcoming 3.1Ghz 950 model.So with process tweaks ,I say it's not impossible that AMD can crank 12% more clocks while remaining within the same TDP envelope(3.1Ghz x 1.12=3.5GHz,same TDP with more mature process technology).
    If they manage the 3.5Ghz/125W ,then AMD will have the needed chip to compete with i7 940,leaving only the 965 as the top chip without a direct competitor from green team.
