With many gamers and enthusiasts still drooling and desiring the Intel Conroe and Allendale processors that just came out this past July we find ourselves at an interesting point in time in the hardware industry. Exactly two months to the day that Conroe shocked the world with 40% faster performance than their previous generation processors we find ourselves sitting in front of a system running a pre-production Intel Kenstfield processor with the Intel engineers sitting closely behind watching how we benchmark the first quad-core offerings from Intel. Intel restricted use of keys and limited the benchmarks run to those that were already installed on the test system, so as you read this article please keep this in mind.

Well it's fast, no doubt about that, but if you dont use programs like 3d redering or video encoding, it's overkill.

a lot of things that we buy can be considered by other as an overkill. don't you think?.
a high-end audio equipments that ending up costing more than a house before you can even hear a misic from the system, is this a overkill.

Indeed, but there is overkill and then there is "omg must have the latest and fatest cpu which costs 1000$ overkill"
