On another note, the overclocking capabilities are not that different from the i7, someone posted that he OC'ed his i7 to 4ghz on aircooled easily. |

Agreed, but if they did compare favorably to the i7 then I'm sure they'd show that off as well. But then you could also say why don't they compare to the new Core 2 Quads? Again I think its going to boil down to a wait and see. I'm just finding it hard to believe we aren't seeing a ton more info out there. Coo\uld be they are keeping tight wraps on it so they don't over build expectations like they've done before. Who knows.
AM2+/AM3 - yeah they are supposed to be backwards compatible with some of the older boards minus the DDR3 support. Its not clear if that'll be all the Pii's or just the first releases. I'd like to see what the performance difference is.
