SB7xx = 3GHz+ Phenom?

So suggests TGDaily. Take it with a huge grain of salt, folks. But still it's a pleasant fantasy-land read. What do you guys think; could it happen, and what impact might it have on the market if it did?

Sound's great, but I'm waiting till I see it before I'll believe it

Sounds really neat. Might have a reason to buy one of the new SB7xx motherboards. Definately have to keep my eye on this!

"That's something that we're looking at right now. As you know, you can overclock a Phenom X4 9850 stably to 3GHz or more. We've some secret things in the works that you'll here more about later this quarter; that will allow people to get significantly above 3GHz even with a Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition. These are things we're doing more at the chipset level and some updates to some chipsets coming soon. So watch that space; I've said too much already, but you'll see significantly above 3GHz performance from Phenoms for those who really understand and know what they are doing when overclocking."

If they themselves are saying it, then there might be something more to it. I may hold off jumping back to Intel for a few more weeks, just to see how this pans out.
