Intel's New 45nm Yorkfield QX9650 - Intel marches forward with another groundbreaking processor. Four cores of 45nm goodness. At this rate, you have to wonder whether or not desktop software and AMD will ever catch up. How good does it overclock? All signs point to, “Wow!’

After seeing our Penryn run a full 1.32GHz beyond its stock rating, it makes you wonder just what exactly is going on. I have to guess that it is very likely that Intel could have launched at 3.6GHz or better if pushed. But the fact is that AMD is not pushing it right now and Intel has no reason to shoot for speeds any higher. Lack of competition can stagnate the market place.
