Brag: Conroe XE + Bad Axe = WR SuperPi 1M@10.750s

This is just insane, the race to 5GHz and single digit SuperPi 1M is really getting exciting. When Dothan became mainstream, the biggest holding factor for enthusiasts was the low FSB it provides, and low multiplier. This has been always the only mitigating reason why there's no high clockage frequency. Dothan came from the Banias core and so it's not really meant to achieve such high clockage.
However, Intel* thought to combine the strength of NetBurst with Banias uA and so the dreams of those Dothan users just became to fruition. And already, even before the launch, the chip has been showing off a lot of impressive scores, a lot of which AMDroids are either doubting or having a hard time to swallow. Wow, it must have shaken the foundation of their fate or something. And the great thing about all this showing, is that all these chips are early ES so retail, theoretically speaking, may produce even better clockage! Take a gander here and join me with the drooling:
