Stable 4.9GHz on air "gulp"...this changes everything. I can only hope this is for all cores. Although I'm not so sure that cinebench is the best stablity testing program.

I liked how he mentioned that it's not just some lame CPUz screen shot of the overclock.
I think I would rather see this new CPU completing 10 hours of Prime blend at 4.9GHz.

Thanks for posting Airbot.
