Based on that, it seems the real advantage is the 45nm process which means it runs cooler. An 8% increase is nothing extraordinary.
I completely agree with you. The new process should really improve temps and overclockability.
But SSE4 is also a very nice addition.

32 nm in 2009.

3.0GHz is kinda low, expected a bit higher stock clock.
Can't wait to overclock that CPU ;)

This means I'll likely be going w/ the Xeon G0 Kentsfield when it comes out. I'm not paying $1,000 for a processor to play Crysis with.

Not bad at all, they even used the stock cooler!

Imagine what it can do on water.

Is that voltage reading correct? 1.456V just to get it to 3.8 from 3.0? I've seen current G0 Q6600s get to 3.8 on that kind of voltage.
Slight disappointment for me. I don't feel good about feeding more than 1.55-1.6V on a CPU 24/7.
It definitely runs cooler, but it may hit a wall with the voltage before you can ever see it really shine. Hopefully this was just a bad chip, because that's not a lot better than what the current G0s will do. And they come clocked 400-600MHz lower stock.

That is just the VID reading I believe.

This is on a stock cooler! Thats one of the main advantages of the 45nm process. I have no doubt we will see these running over 4GHz here and maybe even on a good air cooler.

I said that it runs cooler. But you can't keep increasing the voltage like that without it seriously affecting temps. Conroe was on 65nm compared to the AMD X2s on 90nm, but neither one could handle more than 1.5v without heating up big time.
Eventually you'll hit a wall with the voltage. That's why it's a little disappointing to me if this chip needed a bump in voltage that large just for an 800mhz overclock. There are G0 Kentsfields out now that overclock 1200MHz on the same amount of voltage.

Still, I'll take 3.8GHz on a stock cooler for a Quad CPU. :)
