The big problem with multicores like the kentsfield is bad IHS contact. Combined with the two cores that are seperated down the line this creates cooling problems. The 130 watts for the KF is bad enough but people need to overclock it when there is not need to overclock it because there is little improvement exept for two apps, encoding and vid compression. Then they bitch about and complain air cooling isn't enough and
watercooling isn't enough. The rational is missing and it's an arms race, pissing contest, and whatever analogy you can comeup with.

Video games show a small improvement and sometimes no improvement or perform worse with kentsfield compared toa good a c2d. Hey, intel is selling two cpus at one time if you want to buy it and same with SLI with the inherent problems that come with it like bigger psu, bigger HSF, bigger case, and bigger fans etc they'll keep selling it.

When it was overclocking old celerons, PIII and amd durons and t-birds there was a decent reason for it. Now it's seems just like an arms race to shoot super pi times.
