Seems to do 3.33Ghz quite easily on air, which would make sense given thats what the Conroe XE is clocked at anyway.

It's definitely nice to see a next-generation chip that shows a very positive improvement over the current A64 lineup. I don't personally care whether its Intel, AMD or John Smith's World of CPUs who manufactures it - just as long as its reasonably priced and encourages competition & development.

I'm definitely looking at a Conroe & X1900 Xfire setup for my next upgrade, which has been due a couple of months anyway.
