Looks promising. Definitely some improvement over Penryn, clock-for-clock, although obviously not the earth-shattering Prescott-Conroe improvement. Now it just remains to be seen how high the things will clock.
I like the layout on that one motherboard, with the 3+1 RAM slots. Makes a lot of sense for a real benching board.
