bit-tech.net — Reviews of Intel's new quad-core processor are rolling out across the net tonight, and this is probably the best one. Some interesting analysis and a good spread of benchmarks. Kentsfield turns out to be super for hardcore multi-tasking and has some gaming potential, as well as massive overclocking headroom.

Only the single threaded ones.That is because you have a core at 2.93 versus only 2.67 for the Quad.

They already announced an 8-core processor by the end of next year, so for everybody who is planning on buying the quad core, don't come crying in a couple of months.....

Multiple sockets is never cheaper in the current environment. Simply because single socket motherboards are cheaper to make and outsell multiple socket motherboards 100:1.So you can (if you're careful) get a well-working single-socket mobo for $90, while multiple socket mobos hover in the $300 and up range.Single-socket is the way.
