Looks good. When can the quad Wolfdales be expected? I've currently got a
Core 2 Duo E6600, which overclocks to 3.0GHz on stock cooling with no
changes other than FSB. Are the Core 2 Quad 6600s as easy as that?

My Core 2 Duo E6600 is also running at 3 GHz by raising the FSB and with
stock cooling. It will go higher, but the temps start to really get up
there, so 3 GHz is good enough for now. A Wolfdale would put out much
less heat, since the core voltage is lower due to less internal voltage
leakage, as mentioned in the review, so it should be easier to overclock
higher with the stock heatsink.
I'm sure the Wolfdale (or whatever name they use) Quads will give the
same increase in performance over the Kentsfield Core 2 Quads, but no
mention about when they will be available.

"First, Intel introduced some 45nm CPUs today, and as we and a few
others reported, the mainstream 45nm quads aren't included in the bunch
that will be released very shortly. They'll show up later this quarter."

Some interesting stuff on the QX9600s reaching 4.5Ghz and up on air. Wow. A
bit expensive right now though......:-(.

From the review, the Dual Core CPUs will be the same, or a bit higher
than, the current Core 2 DUOs in speed and price, but the
overclockability is just short of amazing. The Quads will overclock
well, also, but they're going to be much more expensive, as you noted.
