    awesome!
    4G at .8v sounds a lot more interesting than 4.7 on air...
    who needs that much cpu power besides for benching anyhow, having 4g at only .8v sounds great! thats 50% less volts than my 920!

    still dont get why intel would call this i5... this deserves i7 if not i8!

    perhaps for a new stepping or process refining. it might be like intels 65nm steppings. now that would be impressive. am i the only that is not impressed by 4.7GHz? back in the day doubling frequency was the norm for new processes. intel said the would be at 20GHz by the time they got to 45nm and now they are at 4.7. i miss frequency scaling.
