    The frequency of Core i7 950 reminded me Intel's first P4 processor with hyperthreading at 3.06 GHz. I had one of those SL6PG's. 7 years later, here we are at 3.06 GHz again. I wonder how much faster is Core i7 950 than a P4-HT at 3.06 GHz on per-core basis?

Hey, be nice. Icrontic is full of good people, we promise.
