C-Jelly "Especially considering that there will be single core products that will hand Smithfield its head and draw less power to boot..." Do we have any hard data that Smithfield performance will suck? As far as heat goes, if you accept the wannabmw mantra that 100W is no big deal, I don't see 130 watts for Smithfield as being all that critical. For one, that's only 65 watts per core, which means a smaller DT-junct-to-case, so a higher allowable case temperature, and a corresponding smaller heat sink cuz it can run hotter. If the box makers can live with the 3800 P4, they won't have much trouble adapting to Smithfield.
