According to the Inq, Intel's Harpertown Penryns & Seaburg chipset will easily break the 100GFLOP barrier. What's even more interesting, though, is that the desktop chips will be unlocked versions of the same SKUs, and use the same chipset, but designed for lower latency, & toting the "Skulltrail" moniker. Frightening news for AMD....

"After all, an extra 20 - 30% speed boost on CPU, and additional 30+ memory throughput due to optimised FSB latency coupled with both higher bandwidth and lower latency by those upcoming FB-DIMMs, should give a very decent application performance increase, not to mention ability to feed, say, four Nvidia G92 GPUs simultaneously?"
