A Quad Core at 2.9 GHz with 125W seems OK since 31W per core is less damaging as the 40W per core for CWM. (The 40W/core at 65 nm corresponds to a ~160W dual core processor at 90 nm in terms of energy density, high indeed) At 45nm the maximum allowable power per core goes down to ~20W Intel stated 20% higher transistor speeds at 45nm compared to 65 nm, part of that goes lost in the interconnect. Now, I'm rather pessimistic here and I expect the higher electric stresses and half the power budget will limit higher speeds for Intel DC 45 nm parts. Up to now there hasn't been any statement from Intel about the clock frequencies of its 45 nm DC parts. I think we should not base our judgments here on hobbyist guesswork on the internet.
