Makes me happy I haven't moved from 65nm. Never thought I'd say that 2 years later. Waiting for the next q6600 to rear its head. I guess 8 core 22nm?

I'm not at all surprised about real world results. i7 didn't even buy that much for most people and this isn't that much of a real improvement for 99% of people.
I hope Intel can get the clock vs clock speeds up a LOT, at least compared to 775 socket chips to give people a legit reason to upgrade to "next gen."
