Re: it is not far beyond the the 3.0 GHz QC Intel is selling currently to Apple

The fan used by apple's quad core literally dwarfs the one used to cool Barcelona. The apple heatsink/fan is 3 to 4 times as big with fans with twice the area and 3 times the thickness.
powermax.com

Going by heatsink/fan size Barcelona at 3ghz uses 1/4 the power of Woodcrest.

Let's see what the basher "the fan size tells all" theorists do with this new information.
