clarksfield turbo

though clarksfield chips are reported to be clocked at measly 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0ghz, nehalem's turbo boosts them up to 3,2ghz for a lone running thread.

the current top of the line mobile core2 chips x9100 and qx9300 are dualcore @ 3,06ghz and quad core @ 2,53ghz, both with 1066mhz fsb. clarksfield uses dual channel 1333mhz memory, and has DMI instead of the desktop variant's QPI.

conclusion: a 2ghz clarksfield will beat an x9100 in single-thread performance, and a qx9300 in parallel performance. clarksfieldy macbook pros should be out right around the time my summer vacation ends.
