isn't this just opening up Quad cores in laptops a lot further?
i've seen a couple of laptops using the 95w Q6600, so a 65w version would be much better in a laptop
These aren't aimed at notebooks - Intel already have 45w quadcores for notebooks at even more inflated prices
No die shrink....I guess these are binned based on a low VID?
Might be good overclockers but thats a massive premium to pay for the privilege.
I guess OcUK will do "guaranteed overclock" versions for even more insane cash

You would need to save a lot of electricity to be worth the premium. That or desperate to get your 3DMark Score higher with a potential higher overclock to pay that much.
MAybe worth it for a DataCenter running lots, but for the enthusiast I don't think so.
A datacenter wouldn't use these anyway.
