Wow this is what we like to see. just need the prices down a bit more

That is very impressive, no loss in performance. AMD's 65W parts are a bit pathetic in comparison.

Agreed, and with AMD rolling out 95w dual cores these seem like the way to go.

Verry nice

laptops will see them soon

Hmmm. 40% - 50% price hike over 95w TDP equivalents?

So far, not particularly impressed. Unless there's a significant performance increase, I wouldn't pay it for a standard desktop part. Time, and testing, will tell I guess.
