Westmere 32nm (6Cores 12T)*2

If this is at $1350-$1500 its Ultra extrema price.... $999-$1250 is much better and would be a ok buy!!!

AMD can counter this by selling those 45nm hex's cheap when i say cheap i mean starting from $500-$600 or so... For the people who say this is not possible the 2.2Ghz hex Istanbul cost's around $449 on newegg.




EDIT:- Although the L3 does seems to be double to than the Hex Istanbul but the total cache "l1+l2+l3" difference is really 4MB.
