AND INTEL DOES NOT LIKE IT so much.. so they lock the multiplier..
and saying thats it's 60%-/+ faster ( in terms of performance : www. tomshardware.com) than phenom x4, this monster had just gave INTEL another reason to dictate the rules and pricing of the chip wars.
in another words. MONOPOLY!
but what can we consumers do, DAMMIT is eating dust at the moment ( to those who believe otherwise, read news and reviews..im no fanboy here. )
lets just hope the cpu green will make wonders again..
then, i wud have a sub 5k c2q6600 ( i wud still love it as obsolete as it u wud say. )
