Deneb can reach 4GHz on air
More on water
We've learned that Deneb, 45nm K10.5 can reach 4GHz on air and that if you use liquid cooling you should see even better scores. This is definitely a good sign, and we know that at least the top Deneb will come with an unlocked multiplier and ready to overclock.
The Phenom based on the Agena core was limited with its overclocking capabilities and it looks that this new 45nm Deneb K10.5 has resolved this issue.
The CPU won't be available in stores at least until early January, but it's good to know that there is a hope and it will be fun to compare 4GHz Deneb with 4GHz overclocked core i7 aka Nehalem and Core 2 Quad Yorkfield, on an identical clock.
