It must be roughly 20 below 0 where ever they are testing that. Also, you do realize i was able to push 4.5ghz on my c0 before i smoked it and the board due to stupidity right? The new d0's are just lucky chips.
I would kick myself in the butt if I did that.
On another note, I was planning on waiting a good 4-5 months before I built a new rig since I only have my laptop now or even waiting to see how the i5's are. But 4.4Ghz on air is incredible. Toms was only able to run the C0 stepping up to 4.0GHZ and that presented heat issues and brought the performance down thanks to the throttling. If more and more of these D0's role out and people are getting 4.0 and up, I'm not going to be able to wait. A Core i7 betwee 4.0 and 4.4 paired with DDR3-2000 just sounds too good to wait on. Not to mention you're looking at only just under $1000 for an i7 build now.
EDIT: I just googled D0 i7 and got this-
Intel Core i7 D0, worth every cent : Intel Processor Forum
4.2Ghz @ 1.2v but it's not quite ROCK solid yet but real close.
Speechless.
