    Of course, but it is still astounding. Pop a i9 and a quadrofx 5800 and you have an amazing (yet sort of overkill) workstation.

    6 cores
    power draw only "11W higher than the leading Phenom II at 226W"
    relatively cool running
    12MB L3 cache
    default core voltage ~0.96v
    high overclocking potential

    one word - WOW :hair::hair:
