    So a huff and a puff and then ... not much!
    Ok so the new core/chipset is out and well it's barley faster than the old core/chipset if not even slower at some instances. Only change is that the new core requires 6 more watts of juice and thus shorter battery life. What a shame! Only good aspect of this release is that old model prices will drop.
    I hope for our sake first and then for intel's sake that this is due to some minor issues that can be worked around and fixed...

    *** Please note that the test was conducted using a faster 533FSB core, so some of the higher scores generated by the new core can be atributed to that!!!
