Looks around house..

We all know your the exception to the rule you punk
Man, if I am ever in NH, I will find your home, knock on your door, and have my camera with crazy lenses to shoot some photos

To JF-AMD: Is there a possibility of a 3ghz chip? As an architect, who does a lot of renderings, a 3ghz, 12-core system would be the sweet spot. I could pump them out like crazy...then again, 2.3ghz, 12-core still would pump out crazy fast too, especially when there would be 12 other computers like this and we could do a network render. mmmm 144 pure cores rendering at 2.3 ghz. yummy!!!!

OK price on chip?

can't comment on clock speeds or pricing until launch. If you want clocks, don't forget that there is also an 8-core model that has higher clock speeds and by virtue of the fact that there are fewer cores, you will have a higher core to cache ratio.
