I wonder if we will be seeing one more top X6 model before X8 launches.3.4Ghz with 3.8Ghz Turbo on either 125W or 140W is certainly very possible.975BE is also hitting very close to 4Ghz mark,maybe it's Thuban based?Even if it's "just" a C3 Deneb it will be a very speedy quad core.
i think, we will see in 1Q2011 3.4 GHz Thuban
