Default Yorkfield overclock on air! INSANE!
4.65ghz was accomplished with only 1.49V and with air cooling by Hipro5.

I can't believe it! This is definitely considered news because it usually takes ~1.7V and phase change to accomplish this. ~4.5ghz should be no problem for 24/7 use with water.

I'm so glad that I waited until after the G0 phase.

Yea, those will be good chips. Faster clock for clock and clock further on same volts.

... Well, at this point, I can safely say that it's going to take a miracle on AMD's part for my upcoming winter build to be anything but Intel-based.

It's crazy, running at 4.3ghz with only 1.36V is basically unheard of. AMD better show something to the community quick, before it's their trampled.

I Just bought a q6600, but if this is really the way this new series is going to perform, I'm buying one AND a new motherboard as soon as they come out.

Those 4+ Ghz numbers are going to need much stronger FSB numbers, though, and that means no more cheapo RAM. Part of the beauty of the Q6600 is the 9x multiplier that comes with it, but thanks to Intel moving to the FSB1333, multipliers are dropping.

As far as I've been able to find, the best multiplier that will be available w/o going Extreme is now 8.5 (?), and the expected price on it is over $500.

If I recall correctly; most retail C2D's did better than the ES chips.
