I wasn't wowed =S Yes, its a decent performance boost but then that was always expected once they got the memory controller into the die....
The issue here is......most people aren't maxing out their current Core2 CPUs, let alone need the power of these. Plus DDR3 is still 2-4 times more expensive then DDR2 which is going to make uptake of these quite slow to begin with I expect. Not knocking Intel, just do not see the Core2 sales dropping by much based off of these results.
